Supply chain security has become a major concern to the private and public sector, after the disastrous event of September 11, 2001. Prior to September 11, 2001, supply chain security concerns were related to controlling theft and reducing contraband such as illegal drugs, illegal immigrants, and export of stolen goods. But after September 11, 2001, the threat of terrorist attacks has heightene...

The aiming is to analyze the influence of supply chain governance (SCG) and its conceptions (contractual-relational-transactional) on supply chain performance (SCP). It was carried out qualitative and quantitative steps to propose and validate a model. It was identified that SCG has a positive influence on operational and financial SCP.

Taking greening to the supply chain level (beyond partial, yet often used, reversed logistics) can be based on technological and operational initiatives in the sphere of design for recycling, disassembly, extended life cycles and future innovations and the related operations. The supply chain dimension is lacking in the most recent state-of-the-art contribution from Reinhardt on greening from a...

Supply chain management is a crucial activity in every company. Surprisingly, today most of the supply chain activities are carried out manually, and IT support is ojien limited to having a set of (disconnected) data repositories. In addition, B2B communications are pelformed via phone, fa, or email. Increasing the operational eficiency of the supply chain results in huge savings, and is the ke...

Abstract Reducing the system failure rate of logistics service supply chain (LSSC) is the basic guarantee and supporting conditions of LSSC system operational stability. The paper, regarding the automobile logistics service supply chain system composed by logistics service integrators, logistics service providers and car manufacturer as the research object, sets up the fault tree model of the a...

Supply chain management must adopt different and more innovative strategies that support a better response to customer needs in an uncertain environment. Supply chains must be more agile and be more capable of coping with disturbances, meaning that supply chains must be more resilient. The simultaneous deployment of agile and resilient approaches will enhance supply chain performance and compet...

Process mining algorithms aim at the automatic extraction of business process models from logs. Most of these algorithms perform well on single-system event traces that explicitly refer to a process instance or case. However, in many operational environments such case identifiers are not directly recorded for events. In supply chain processes there are even further challenges, since different i...

In recent years, the supply chain managements have been paid more and more attention. The supply chain risk management is an important content for enterprises implementing supply chain management. Therefore, how to measure the risk of supply chain is quite important. In this study, a supply chain risk evaluation model based on support vector machines and two-dimensional risk matrix is proposed....

In recent years, markets and supply chains have become increasingly global in nature. Increased competition has driven the need for more efficient and costeffective supply chain strategies and production methods. Firms have effectively used analytical techniques to develop manufacturing and supply chain solutions at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels. One such analytical technique ...

In today’s challenging business environment, organisations not only need to continue to leverage their internal sources of competitive advantage but also should strive to harness synergies across the multiple supply chains that they are part of. However, this has to be achieved through effective collaboration between partner organisations. This paper contributes to the current scholarly discour...
