L'UTILISATION D'INDICATEURS LOGISTIQUES : UNE ETUDE EXPLORATOIRE VIA LE MODELE SCOR

En tant que réseau d'affaires, le Supply Chain Management (SCM) cherche à développer des modèles à mêmes de décrire et évaluer les processus et activités induits par sa mise en œuvre. C'est dans cette mouvance que souhaite se placer le modèle SCOR. Cet article s'intéresse à la pratique des indicateurs logistiques proposés par ce modèle. Le questionnaire proposé prend appui sur les métriques de niveau 1 du modèle SCOR. 35 questionnaires sont traités. Les résultats soulignent que -de manière générale- les intitulés des indicateurs du modèle SCOR apparaissent abscons et nécessitent une définition explicite en préalable. L'analyse des réponses montre également que dans leur quotidien, les répondants priorisent la justesse de la livraison et la réalisation de la commande. A l'inverse, leur attention semble plus faible quant à la gestion des stocks : rotation et jours d'inventaire.indicateurs logistiques, modèle SCOR, enquête de terrain.

Performance measurement for supply chains in the industry 4.0 era: A balanced scorecard approach

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present a theoretical approach based on the balanced scorecard (BSC) with regard to performance measurement – PM in supply chains for the Industry 4.0 era. Design/methodology/approach: This paper combines the literature of PM and specifically the BSC with the literature related to the dimensions of supply chain in the context of Industry 4.0. Findings: Dimensions extracted from the literature based on supply chains within the context of Industry 4.0 showed a strong alignment with the four perspectives of the BSC, which make it suitable to be considered as a performance measurement system (PMS) for supply chains in this new context. Research limitations/implications: From theoretical perspective, this study contributes to the limited literature on PM for supply chains in Industry 4.0 era. The study proposes a supply chain 4.0 Scorecard and strongly support researchers to conduct future empirical researches in order to get a deeper understanding about PM in supply chains in the Industry 4.0 era. As limitations, the theoretical framework proposed needs further empirical research in other to validate it and obtain new insights over the investigation conducted and presented into this paper. Practical implications: Practitioners can use this study as a guide to develop more effective performance measurement systems – PMSs in their organizations. Originality/value: This research is unique as it addresses a significant knowledge gap related to PM in supply chains in the Industry 4.0 era. It brings a significant contribution in terms of understanding how to measure performance in supply chains in this new era

GESTÃO DA CADEIA DE SUPRIMENTO NA PERSPECTIVA DO BALANCED SCORECARD / INTEGRATING THE THERMOMETER MODEL DYNAMIC AND KANITZ FLEURIET

Este artigo apresenta um estudo bibliográfico e de cunho exploratório, com o objetivo de apresentar o uso do Balanced Scorecard (BSC) sob a perspectiva integradora da logística. No atual contexto da economia, a gestão logística é uma peça fundamental para otimização dos custos e estimativa do ciclo de vida de cada produto. A exigência de qualidade no mercado consumidor e principalmente a competição entre fornecedores, exigem a adoção de uma abordagem de medição de desempenho moderna e alinhada ao desenvolvimento da empresa. Apesar disso, algumas empresas ainda permanecem focadas em utilizar medidas financeiras tradicionais, não gerenciando seus intangíveis. O Balanced Scorecard foi idealizado como uma poderosa ferramenta de alinhamento estratégico organizacional a qual contempla perspectivas financeiras e não financeiras. O estudo explorou breves considerações em avaliação de desempenho em logística, dando ênfase a avaliação da gestão da cadeia de suprimento e os aspectos conceituais relacionados ao modelo do Balanced Scorecard em seguida apresentando-o aplicado ao contexto da logística. Pretende-se com o escopo desta pesquisa trazer à discussão a possibilidade de uma perspectiva integradora da Gestão de Cadeia de Suprimento (SCM) ao BSC.   Palavras-chaves: Logística.

Evaluation of sustainable supply chain performance on apple chips using the integration of quality function deployment, fuzzy analytical network process, and data envelopment analysis

Batu City is the largest apple producer in Indonesia, producing around 55,891 tons. One way to optimize supply chains is sustainable supply chain performance in the economic, social, and environmental fields. Problems in apple chip small- and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) are the price of apples increases in the dry season, accumulation of apple peel waste, and poor employee work performance. This study aimed to analyze the level of importance variables in measuring the supply chain performance level and the strategies to improve the supply chain of apple chips SMEs in Batu City. The integration of quality function deployment (QFD) and Fuzzy analytical network process (FANP) was used to obtain the level of cooperation interest. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) was used to determine the efficiency of each stakeholder's interest. The results showed that the three highest important cooperative behavior factors were production costs (0.16), raw material costs (0.15), and raw material inventory (0.14). The efficiency level of partner cooperation and apple chip SMEs from 17 SMEs indicated that two partners were inefficient, with an efficiency score of 0.973 (D3) and 0.957 (D4). The improvement strategies proposed to apple chip SMEs were reducing production costs, revising agreements between suppliers and farmers, and implementing information technology
