In order to achieve efficient supply chain integration for the processes or activities; the organisations should recognise and understand all the integration challenges of supply chain and the relations between those challenges. Our goal in this paper is to construct a novel statistical model that explores all challenges of supply chain integration and the relations between them. In this paper,...

The changing business environment in which manufacturers are acting creates the need for more effective production processes planning and control methods that are able to deal with uncertainties inherent in internal processes and external deliveries. The aim of the paper is to introduce the method for production planning and control applicable in conditions of supply chain (SC) able to overcome...

In this paper, the competition between two supply chains and their elements is studied. Each chain consisted of a manufacturer and a distributor and the two chains compete in a market with single type of customer sensitive to price and delivery time. Therefore, this is a two-supply chain game and during the competition between two supply chains, elements of each supply chain (manufacturer and/o...

The complexity of the inter-organizational collaboration processes is one of the main concerns of the supply chain management. SCOR (Supply Chain Operation References) process reference model addresses those concerns by providing a process implementation roadmap, consisting of workflows, best practices, systems and performance metrics. In this paper, we use SCOR framework to develop knowledge-b...

The literature on supply chain management has long extolled the virtues to be gained by organizations seeking to integrate their supply chain. These gains include greater data and information visibility, leaner and more efficient processes, vendor managed inventories, and higher profitability. Globalization and global supply chain operation, and supply chain visibility have become buzzwords for...

AbstraEt Supply chah management has become one of the most important sources of competitive advantage in different indusmes. For years, researchers have investigated the various processes within supply chain. There has been an increasing attention placed on perfomancc, design and analysis of supply chain. However, the-apply chain is a complex model so it is difficult to analyze the performance ...

Although many companies have implemented ERP systems to track and share information across cross functional business processes, they often supplement them with legacy, custom, or best of breed applications to support supply chain execution and management. This article offers a framework for understanding all types of enterprise applications that support the supply chain. In this study, the auth...

There is a huge amount of hype associated with the term “Big Data” (Walker, 2014; Chen, Chiang & Storey, 2012; Chen, Mao & Liu, 2014). Its applications to industry appear limitless (Chen, Alspaugh & Katz, 2012). However, research applying big data to the supply chain management domain fails to demonstrate useful results (Richey et al., 2016). We therefore propose the following research objectiv...

Supply chain maturity models attempt to disseminate best practices in supply chain management (SCM). One basic idea behind these models is that increased maturity will lead to improved supply chain performance, which in turn will lead to improved financial performance. There is, however, little empirical evidence about the relationship between supply chain (SC) maturity and financial performanc...

The goal of this paper is to identify the value impacts of supply chain collaboration and design a measurement system to quantify them. Treating process sharing as a special form of supply chain collaboration, we focus on developing measures for evaluating the performance of RosettaNet technology. The empirical findings show that supply chain collaboration creates most value in the extended sup...
