ANALISIS PERAN KUALITAS BAHAN BAKU, RESPONSIVITAS PEMASOK DAN BERBAGI INFORMASI TERHADAP KINERJA OPERASI USAHA RUMAH MAKAN

Operational performance is essential in determining the success of companies in every sector since its position reflects the company's performance. In ensuring better performance, firms compete to absorb the suitable strategy such as choosing suppliers, hoping that performance can be improved. This study aims to analyze how three supplier selection factors, namely raw materials quality, responsiveness, and information sharing, have an impact on the operational performance of restaurants in Pekanbaru. To achieve the goals, a survey was conducted by distributing questionnaires to owners and managers. Data obtained from the questionnaire is analyzed using linear regression. Results show that raw material quality has a positive significant impact on operational performance. Supplier responsiveness also has a positive and significant impact on operational performance. It is also found an appropriate information sharing between suppliers and restaurants has a significant positive impact on operational performance. &nbsp

Collaboration modes and advantages in supply chain

This research aims to address supply chain collaboration with a perspective of broader three-dimensional relationship, not a linear two-dimensional relationship discussed broadly in previous research. Case study was adopted for this research, and data collection was mainly conducted via interview. The research results highlighted that supply chain collaborations are common practice across all levels of the pharmaceutical supply chain. The results also indicated that the different strengthen levels of barging power among collaborative partners will influence the achieved advantages at different supply chain levels, including strategic, operational and political levels

Smart manufacturing and supply chain management

In the fourth industrial revolution, smart manufacturing will be characterized by adaptability, resource efficiency and ergonomics as well as the integration of customers and business partners in business and value processes. Business model, operations management, workforce and manufacturing process all face substantial transformations to reasoning the manufacturing process. This paper explores the impacts of smart manufacturing on supply chain management, and develops several propositions to improve supply chain performance under the context of smart manufacturing

THE DYNAMICS OF SUPPLY CHAIN INTEGRATION: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM PUBLIC HEALTH SUPPLY CHAINS IN KADUNA STATE, NIGERIA

The Kaduna State supply chain transformation initiative aims to integrate all state-fragmented supply chains to improve medicine availability performance. Supply chain integration enables organisations to collaboratively work with medicine suppliers and customers to achieve cost savings and improve service delivery, lead times, and performance. This study empirically assesses public healthcare supply chains and builds a dynamic theory of integrated healthcare supply chains based on systems dynamics. Underpinned by systems engineering theory and the system dynamics integrative paradigm, this study used interplay paradigm crossing in a mixed-method multiple case study to measure the availability of medicines in five public healthcare supply chains and developed a dynamic hypothesis from the mental models of system actors to increase the Medicine Fill Rate (MFR). Constraints in each supply chain were analysed to understand the perception of the structure, feedbacks, and dynamic behaviours that drive medicine availability. A network conceptual model was used to design a three-tiered stock-and-flow model for an integrated supply chain. Policies for financial management, government funding, order management, and inventory management were developed and tested to achieve a 90% MFR. The findings of this study show that the five supply chains can benefit from integration by forming strategic alliances with suppliers for pooled procurement. Sharing resources, risks, and benefits through the adoption of digital platforms to improve communication, visibility, and trust serves as a fulcrum for network integration. The use of supply chain finance and a performance-driven approach by the integrated network assists in breaking the capability and bailout trap of resource dependency on government funding. This study enriches the development of a dynamic theory of supply chain integration that will benefit managers, essential medicine stakeholders, donors, and policymakers by developing network-revolving fund model policies to reduce medicine stockouts and increase essential MFR for the treatment of diseases
