A SCOR modell, a teljesítmény és a raktárak közötti kapcsolat vizsgálata

Business leaders can use several strategic tools to improve the organization, depending on what they consider to be important. The Supply Chain Operational Reference Model (SCOR) is one of these. Its importance is to link business processes, performance metrics, best practices, and technology together and to create a unified structure. It promotes communication between the stakeholders of the supply chain and improves supply chain management and the efficiency of the related supply chain improvement activities. The aim of this study is to find out how the SCOR model appears in the international literature related to warehousing and performance. What methods and tools do authors use to investigate their research questions and hypotheses? Description statistics and category selection were used to present the results of the study. The number of SCOR model researches related to warehouse performance measurments are very rare, it is rather used to describe different processes. In the future, it would be worthwhile to extend the SCOR model analyzes to further fields, especially to warehouse performance measurements.A vállalatok vezetői számos stratégiai eszközt használhatnak, hogy a szervezetet fejlesszék, attól függően, hogy mit tekintenek fontosnak. Az Ellátási lánc műveleti referencia modell (Supply Chain Operations Reference Model, azaz SCOR) egy ezek közül. Jelentősége abban áll, hogy összekapcsolja az üzleti folyamatokat, a mutatókat, a legjobb gyakorlatokat és a technológiai jellemzőket egy egységes struktúrával. Elősegíti az ellátási láncok partnerei közötti kommunikációt, illetve javítja az ellátási lánc menedzsmentjét és a kapcsolódó ellátási lánc javító tevékenységek hatékonyságát. Kutatásomban arra keresem a választ, hogy hogyan jelenik meg a SCOR modell a nemzetközi szakirodalomban a raktározással és teljesítménnyel összefüggésben. Milyen módszereket, eszközöket használnak a szerzők a kutatási kérdéseik és hipotéziseik vizsgálatához? Az eredmények bemutatását leíró statisztikán keresztül és kategóriaszelekcióval végzem. A kutatás során arra a következtetésre jutok, hogy a nemzetközi szakirodalomban a SCOR modell konkrétan a raktári teljesítményméréssel kapcsolatban még alig jelenik meg, inkább csak a különböző folyamatok leírásakor hívják segítségül. A jövőben érdemes lenne kiterjeszteni a SCOR modellt további területekre is, különösen a raktári teljesítménymérésre

Government support programmes, business opportunity, and competitive advantage in the halal cosmetic and personal care industry

The Halal Industry Master Plan 2008-2020 reflects the commitment and effort of the Malaysian government to encourage private business enterprises in the halal cosmetic and personal care industry to be more competitive. The private business enterprises are deemed to lack the competitive advantage to compete with international non-certificate halal cosmetic and personal care products. This empirical study was conducted to examine the relationship between government support programmes (contractual programmes and relational programmes) and the competitive advantage of private business enterprises and to measure the mediating effect of business opportunity on the relationship between government support programmes (contractual programmes and relational programmes) and the competitive advantage of private business enterprises in the halal cosmetic and personal care industry. The field work involved 84 respondents consisted of top management in private business enterprises that produce and supply cosmetic and personal care products. There are four hypotheses tested using PLS in this study. This study found mixed findings between government support programmes (contractual programmes and relational programmes) as independent variables and the competitive advantage of private business enterprises as a dependent variable. It is shown that there is a significant positive relationship between contractual programmes and competitive advantage of private business enterprises. The result also showed that there is a negative relationship between relational programmes and competitive advantage of private business enterprises. When business opportunity was included as a mediating variable to test the relationship between contractual programmes and relational programmes and the competitive advantage of private business enterprises, surprisingly, the relationship between contractual programmes and competitive advantage of private business enterprises was not significant. Meanwhile, the relationship between relational programmes and competitive advantage of private business enterprises became positive when business opportunity was added to the model. This study is only focused on the halal cosmetic and personal care industry in Malaysia and it is suggested that future studies may include comparative studies with other halal sectors and focus to see the performance of the halal products in the market segment in other regions in terms of government support programmes

Multi-objective optimisation of dynamic short-term credit portfolio selection :the adoption of third party logistics credit for financing working capital contrained small and medium sized enterprises in supply chains

PhD ThesisMany companies, especially small and medium sized enterprises, are faced with liquidity problems. The shortage of working capital in their businesses has prevented supply chains from achieving effectiveness and efficiency in management. Although they can access short-term loans from banks and suppliers, the willingness of these credit lenders to lend short-term capital is often restricted by the fact that they cannot monitor whether or how their customers will use the loans according to the agreements. In many cases, this fact makes it difficult for capitalconstrained companies to obtain sufficient working capital from existing funding sources. A business practice called Integrated Logistics and Financial Service has been developed, which can improve banks’ monitoring of how their loans will eventually be used via the alliance of third party logistics companies and banks. The emergence of credit offered by third party logistics companies (termed as 3PLC) provides more choices for working capital constrained companies. Following on traditional bank overdrafts and trade credit, the new 3PLC became the third type of credit available to short-term working capital constrained companies. A new issue arising from this situation is how a working capital constrained company can determine a credit portfolio from multiple working capital sources. Current studies of credit portfolio management are still silent in considering 3PLC. Moreover, limited studies have integrated credit portfolio management into material flow management in supply chains. In light of the aforementioned discussions, this thesis aims to optimise dynamic credit portfolio management in supply chains to achieve the different business objectives of working capital constrained companies. To achieve the above aims, this thesis firstly applies an analytic hierarchy process and linear programming model to optimise a single objective. It applies the analytic hierarchy process to evaluate the concerns of working capital-constrained companies in selecting credit. These concerns are identified through a thorough literature review focusing on the considerations of small and medium sized enterprises’ in borrowing short-term credit. The analytic hierarchy process has been applied to determine the priority of the identified concerns and the preferences of borrowers for bank overdrafts, trade credit and 3PLC. A linear programming model has been developed based on the results obtained from the analytic hierarchy process model. It determines the maximum borrowing amount for a given period from multiple credit sources. To reflect the complexity of working capital constrained companies borrowing credit, thisthesis has extended the model from single objective optimisation to multiple objectives optimisation. Consequently, a goal-programming model has been developed. This model provides the solution of optimizing two business objectives including overall cost and backorder penalty cost minimization. Numerical examples have been conducted to test and analyse all the mathematical models. This thesis contributes the following aspects: 1) the new 3PLC together with bank overdraft and trade credit have been considered into credit portfolio management; 2) borrower’s concerns and credit preferences relating to the three types of credit have been identified and evaluated; 3) mathematical models have been developed for credit portfolio selection over multiple periods

Performance Indicators Logistics To Be Used In The Governance Of Logistics Platforms [indicadores De Desempenho Logístico Utlizados Na Governança De Plataformas Logísticas]

Where as governance is composed of procedures associated with decision making, control and performance of organizations this research was to identify a set of performance indicators related to the management of logistics and supply chain logistics service that also can be applied to governance of logistics platforms. Logistics platforms can be considered complex logistical arrangements which develops various logistics activities and also with the participation of different actors. The research approach used was qualitative. As a result of this research, we identified a set of 6 dimensions of performance, consisting of 90 performance indicators related to logistics and supply chain logistics service also able to testify to the governance of logistics platforms. It was found through this research that the aspects related to customer service and financial elements also showed greater representation in relation to the total set of performance indicators checked. The results of the study can be used for developing new applications and observations on the knowledge we have about the governance performance in logistics platforms.3511Abrahamsson, M., Aldin, N., Stahre, F., Logistics platforms for improved strategic flexibility (2003) International Journal of Logistics Research and Applications, 6 (3), pp. 85-106Albers, S., (2005) The design of alliance governance systems, , Köln: Kölner WissenschaftsverlagAldin, N., Stahre, F., Electronic commerce, marketing channels and logistics platforms - a wholesaler perspective (2003) European Journal of Operational Research, 144 (2), pp. 270-279Ballis, A., Mavrotas, G., Freight village design using the multicriteria method PROMETHEE (2007) Operational Research, 7 (2), pp. 213-231Ballou, R.H., (2006) Gerenciamento da cadeia de suprimentos: planejamento, organização e logística empresarial, , Porto Alegre: Bookman, 5a ediçãoBeamon, B.M., Measuring supply chain performance (1999) International Journal of Operations & Production Management., 19 (3), pp. 275-292Bowersox, D.J., Closs, D.J., (2001) Logística empresarial: o processo de integração da cadeia de suprimentos, , São Paulo, AtlasBolumole, Y., Evaluating the Supply Chain Role of Logistics Service Providers (2003) The International Journal of Logistics Management, 14 (2), pp. 93-107. , Cambridge (MA)Bortoluzzi, S.C., Ensslin, S.R., Ensslin, L., Avaliação de desempenho dos aspectos tangíveis e intangíveis da área de mercado: estudo de caso em uma média empresa industrial (2010) RBGN Revista Brasileira de Gestão de Negócios, São Paulo, 12 (37), pp. 425-446Brewer, P.C., SPEH, T.W., Adapting the balanced scorecard to supply chain management (2001) Supply Chain Management Review, 5 (2), pp. 48-56Cambra-Fierro, J., Ruiz-Benitez, R., Advantages of intermodal logistics platforms: insights from a Spanish platform (2009) Supply Chain Management: An International Journal, 14 (6), pp. 418-421Campolongo, M., Morandi, C., Mariotti, I., La piattaforma logistica di Leixões, Portogallo, e il suo território (2010) Journal of Land Use, Mobility and Environment, 3 (2), pp. 65-72Cardoza Galdámez, E.V., (2007) Proposta de um sistema de medição de desempenho para clusters industriais de pequenas e médias empresas, , Tese (doutorado).
