Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supply chain resilience is a comparatively unexplored area of supply chain research, that is related to risk management, but at the same time differs from traditional risk management approaches in that it focuses on firms' ability to absorb disruptions or enables the supply network to return to stable conditions faster. The increased risks that are the result of complex and geographically disperse global supply chains necessitate that companies gain a better theoretical understanding of this emerging critical topic in order to be sustainable in the long term and effectively operate in turbulent business environment. Thus, a better understanding of supply chain resilience, its major antecedents and consequences is warranted. Employing a multi-disciplinary approach, this dissertation was exploring antecedents and value-based consequences of supply chain resilience from a firm perspective. A dynamic capabilities extension of the resource-based view was combined with several related theoretical perspectives to build a comprehensive conceptual framework filling the gaps in previous research. A combination of survey methodology and structural equation modeling was employed to collect and analyze the data drawing from a sample of supply chain and logistics managers. Quantitative data analysis resulted in significant theoretical and practical research implications. Finally, the directions for future research that have the potential to make a significant contribution to both business practice and academic research were proposed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a bridge between our current understanding of supply chain risk in practice and theory, and the monumental shifts caused by the emergence of the fourth industrial revolution. Supply chain risk and its management have experienced significant attention in scholarship and practice over the past twenty years. Our understanding of supply chain risk and its many facets, such as uncertainty and vulnerability, has expanded beyond utilizing approaches such as deploying inventory to buffer the initial effects of disruptions. Even with our increased knowledge of supply chain risk, being in the era of lean supply chain practices, digitally managed global supply chains, and closely interconnected networks, firms are exposed as ever to supply chain uncertainties that can damage, or even destroy, their ability to compete in the marketplace. The book acknowledges the criticality of big data analytics in Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) processes and provides appropriate tools and approaches for creating robust SCRM processes. Revisiting Supply Chain Risk presents a state-of-the-art look at SCRM through current research and philosophical thought. It is divided into six sections that highlight established themes, as well as provide new insights to developing areas of inquiry and contexts on the topic. Section 1 examines the first step in managing supply chain risk, risk assessment. The chapters in Section 2 encompass resiliency in supply chains, while Section 3 looks at relational and behavioral perspectives from varying units of analysis including consortiums, teams and decision makers. Section 4 focuses on examining supply chain risk in the contexts of sustainability and innovation. Section 5 provides insight on emerging typologies and taxonomies for classifying supply chain risk. The book concludes with Section 6, featuring illustrative case studies as real-world examples in assessing and managing supply chain risk.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supply chain risk management (SCRM) has become an emerging research issue during recent years (Christopher & Peck, 2004; Sheffi, 2005; Tang, 2006). Defining supply chain risk and identifying its sources have been essential tasks in determining how to manage supply chain risk. As firms face uncertain demands and supplier failures, they should be able to manage supply chain risks adequately, not only in order to maintain normal levels of operation but also to gain sustainable competitive advantages in the current business environment. By examining existing theories and conducting an extensive literature review, the researcher has identified two research gaps. One gap consists of a lack of available research on firm-level practices that make supply chains resilient in responding appropriately to supply chain disruptions and factors that lead firms to adopt and implement these practices. A second gap is the lack of a comprehensive and integrated resilient supply chain framework and methods to measure its development. Having identified research gaps, this study addresses three research questions: (1) What are the antecedents of resilient supply chain management practices? (2) What are the dimensions of resilient supply chain management practices, and how can each component be measured? (3) How do resilient supply chain management practices result in resilient supply chain capabilities? Drawing upon contingency theory (CT), this study identifies four types of risk and risk propensity as antecedents, or enablers, which result in firms implementing risk-related activities. A resource-based view (RBV) provides this study with the theoretical rationale to explain how firms' resources and routines not only reduce the detrimental effects of supply chain disruptions but also formulate external-facing capabilities that lead to a competitive advantage. The large-scale survey data was collected from the U.S. and South Korea, and analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling using AMOS 6.0. Out of eight hypotheses, five are supported. The results of this study suggest that a higher perception of internal risk and firms' willingness to take risk facilitate the implementation of flexible and redundant practices and formulate capabilities. Resilient supply chain capabilities enable firms to prepare to respond to supply chain disruptions and recover from them. Theoretical and managerial implications, limitations, and recommendation for future research are discussed.
Download or read book Antecedents and Triple Bottom Line Consequences of Green Supply Chain Strategy written by David McClain Nelson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As supply chains evolved adapting to market complexity businesses experienced more constraints via government regulations, competitors, industry certification, and market fluctuations, increasing dependence on suppliers. Green chains surfaced with the strategy of three dimensions: environmental, societal concerns and economic viability. This approach paralleled the logic of Corporate Social Responsibility, with performance exhibited by the Triple Bottom Line. Not all firms follow this path, yet still exhibit positive performance. Extant literature shows a gap in distinguishing why not all firms seek the route of CSR Strategy towards TBL performance. To help bridge this, the dissertation research reflects on why some firms pursue such strategy, yet others do not, when both exhibit financial performance. In other words, why do some firms go `green', while others do not? This study provides a model to investigate factors affecting such strategy with pre-cursor forces: corporate approach; government regulation; industry pressures; consumer influences. For effective implementation, supplier integration and buy-in of the focal firm's directives must take place. When this is coordinated with management practices of the firm, performance potential is optimized for each of the three dimensions. A research instrument was developed with Q-Sort Testing by experts, representing specific survey industrial sectors. The Qualtrics survey results exhibited respondents from senior-level positions in North American manufacturing companies involved with industry standards in chemical, oil and gas, automotive/light truck, and large equipment production. Overall, 210 responses were received and analyzed with Exploratory Factor Analysis in SPSS for construct evaluation. Most of the constructs were supported. Structural Equation Modeling was then utilized (AMOS), based on EFA results, exhibiting good construct support for most of the proposed hypotheses.

Download or read book Supply Chain Risk written by George A. Zsidisin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-09-08 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk is of fundamental importance in this era of the global economy. Supply chains must into account the uncertainty of demand. Moreover, the risk of uncertain demand can cut two ways: (1) there is the risk that unexpected demand will not be met on time, and the reverse problem (2) the risk that demand is over estimated and excessive inventory costs are incurred. There are other risks in unreliable vendors, delayed shipments, natural disasters, etc. In short, there are a host of strategic, tactical and operational risks to business supply chains. Supply Chain Risk: A Handbook of Assessment, Management, and Performance will focus on how to assess, evaluate, and control these various risks.
Download or read book The Resilient Enterprise written by Yossi Sheffi and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2007-02-23 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories from Nokia, Dell, UPS, Toyota, and other companies show how firms can reduce their vulnerability to high-impact distributions, from earthquakes to strikes, from SARS to terrorism, and use them for competitive advantage. What happens when fire strikes the manufacturing plant of the sole supplier for the brake pressure valve used in every Toyota? When a hurricane shuts down production at a Unilever plant? When Dell and Apple chip manufacturers in Taiwan take weeks to recover from an earthquake? When the U.S. Pacific ports are shut down during the Christmas rush? When terrorists strike? In The Resilient Enterprise, Yossi Sheffi shows that companies' fortunes in the face of such business shocks depend more on choices made before the disruption than they do on actions taken in the midst of it—and that resilience benefits firms every day, disaster or no disaster. He shows how companies can build in flexibility throughout their supply chains, based on proven design principles and the right culture—balancing security, redundancy, and short-term profits. And he shows how investments in resilience and flexibility not only reduce risk but create a competitive advantage in the increasingly volatile marketplace.Sheffi describes the way companies can increase security—reducing the likelihood of a disruption—with layered defenses, the tracking and analysis of “near-misses,” fast detection, and close collaboration with government agencies, trading partners, and even competitors. But the focus of the book is on resilience—the ability to bounce back from disruptions and disasters—by building in redundancy and flexibility. For example, standardization, modular design, and collaborative relationships with suppliers (and other stakeholders) can help create a robust supply chain. And a corporate culture of flexibility—with distributed decision making and communications at all levels—can create a resilient enterprise.Sheffi provides tools for companies to reduce the vulnerability of the supply chain they live in. And along the way he tells the stories of dozens of enterprises, large and small, including Toyota, Nokia, General Motors, Zara, Land Rover, Chiquita, Aisin Seiki, Southwest Airlines, UPS, Johnson and Johnson, Intel, Amazon.com, the U.S. Navy, and others, from across the globe. Their successes, failures, preparations, and methods provide a rich set of lessons in preparing for and managing disruptions. Additional material available at www.TheResilientEnterprise.com.
