Spurred by intensifying competition in global markets, most companies have been increasingly implementing supply chain management (SCM) and information systems (IS) practices. As well, globalization policies have created a more intensive competition amongst manufacturers; in additional the priority of supply over demand, market competition and importance of some factor such as quality, accounta...

Increasing globalisation, diversity of the product range and increasing customer awareness are making markets highly competitive, forcing different supply chains to adapt to different stimuli on a continuous basis. The necessary level of ‘compatibility’ among all the upstream and downstream players in a supply chain must be achieved to meet the strategic objectives of the supply chain. A mismat...

This article aims to analyze the moderating effect of supply chain configuration on relationship between dynamic capabilities and resilience in retail sector Kenya. We used an ex-post facto research design. The study a stratified random sampling technique select sample size 324 respondents from population 3200 employees working chains Nairobi City County.

Supply Chain Formation is the process of determining the participants in a supply chain, who will exchange what with whom, and the terms of the exchanges. Decentralized supply chain formation appears as a highly intricate task because agents only possess local information and have limited knowledge about the capabilities of other agents. The decentralized supply chain formation problem has been...

Global supply chains are complex dynamical systems. Due to nonlinear dependencies between production locations, already a perturbation at one location can change the dynamic behavior of the whole supply chain. As a consequence the supply of customers in time may be at risk. In this paper we present an approach to supply chain design that maximizes the robustness of a supply chain in regard to p...

Organizations in recent times are increasingly investing building supply chain resilience following disruptions due to natural disasters, geo-political crises, and pandemics. A lack of government support has exacerbated the disruption chains some regions world. The positive influence digitalization on social inclusion, accountability, creating a more open environment is well understood. Despite...

Product–service systems (PSS) has become a major subject of concern for many industries because their benefits and the possibilities to reduce negative environmental impacts address sustainability concerns. Despite PSS, little empirical research been conducted investigate PSS supply chain (SC) capabilities constructs. This study offers original contributions valid reliable construct instrument ...
