2. 1. Supply chain resilience through quality management

   Author : Roy Andersson; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; supply chain strategy; risk; robust; Six Sigma; quality; logistics; management; TQM; Lean; resilient; flexible; collaboration.; Agile;

   Abstract : The length and complexity of the supply chain tend to increase, rather than diminish, thereby making the supply chain riskier and less predictable and, hence, more vulnerable. At the same time, customers are becoming increasingly demanding. READ MORE

4. 2. Be lean to be resilient : Setting capabilities for turbulent times

   Author : Seyoum Eshetu Birkie; Matti Kaulio; Paolo Trucco; Jussi Heikkilä; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Resilience; lean production; synergy; supply chain disruption; dynamic capabilities; mixed method approach; uncertainties; Industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Engineering and Management;

   Abstract : Businesses globally are challenged to innovate their operations strategies and practices towards tighter delivery times, better quality and cheaper prices to remain profitable in addition to managing unpredictable circumstances well in today’s turbulent business environment. They often have to deal with the apparent paradox of advancing efficiency-fostering approaches such as lean production, and enhancing operational resilience against unanticipated disruptions.

5. 3. Exploring Themes and Challenges in Developing Sustainable Supply Chains - A Complexity Theory Perspective

   Author : Maisam Abbasi; Förpackningslogistik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Supply Chain; Logistic; Sustainable Development; Sustainability; Complexity;

   Abstract : To develop sustainable supply chains in a way that their negative environmental and social effects are minimized, shortand long-term targets should be set. The transformation of supply chains towards these targets calls for the development of innovative strategies and the need to continuously identify, classify, and tackle the challenges that can hinder the execution of such strategies.

6. 4. Towards a model for managing uncertainty in logistics operations – A simulation modeling perspective

   Author : Ola Johansson; Förpackningslogistik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; risk; uncertainty; simulation; supply chain; logistics;

   Abstract : Uncertainty rules supply chains. Unexpected changes constantly occur on all levels; strategically through globalization, introduction of novel technology, mergers and acquisitions, volatile markets, and on an operational level through demand fluctuations, and events such as late arrival of in-bound material, machine equipment breakdown, and quality problems.

7. 5. Supply network configuration for small-series apparel production in high-cost contexts : Opportunities and challenges from selected EU countries

   Author : Sara Harper; Rudrajeet Pal; Vijay Kumar; Liz Barnes; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; high-cost contexts; customization; supply network configuration; priorities; challenges; paradox theory; högkostnadssammanhang; kundanpassning; konfiguration av försörjningsnätverk; prioriteringar; utmaningar; paradoxteori; Textil och mode generell ; Textiles and Fashion General ;

   Abstract : In high-cost textile and apparel industry contexts, local and small-series production models (demand-driven/on-demand) are increasingly relevant due to various pressures, including global risks, and demands to reduce overproduction for profitability and environmental sustainability. However, understanding how such reconfigurations impact supply chains more broadly, and what are the associated implementation challenges, is required. READ MORE
