“…Theoretically, the type of agile is appropriate with the type of differentiators, while the type of lean is appropriate for the type of efficient-innovators. Referring to the opinion of Magutu et al (2015), he states that the execution of supply chain strategy choices will effectively create performance moderated by the level of integrated supply chain development capability, whether it is more focused on internal integration or external integration. Magutu et al has distinguished the type of technology that can be chosen according to the orientation of the supply chain strategy.…”

“…Supply chain readiness reflects the company's ability to manage cooperation networks along the supply chain in order to create value (Sambultawee & Boon-itt, 2017;Tolanen et al, 2017). Some researchers emphasize the importance of supply chain integration (Marsilac & Roh, 2014;Budiarto, Prabowo & Herawan, 2017), but according to Magutu et al (2015), the alignment of SC technology development with the orientation of supply chain strategy will be able to create better performance. Magutu et al has provided empirical evidence that the functional type SC technology is able to moderate the LSCS relationship on performance and integrative types of SC technology also proved to be able to strengthen ASCS relationship on performance.…”

Purpose: This study aims to identify whether the degree of fit of the correlation between high supply chain and manufacturing strategy will result in a better performance.Design/methodology/approach: Strategic alignment test between the functions uses 102 SMEs in Yogyakarta as, Indonesia with purposive sampling technique. The data are collected by distributing questionnaires to the companies that qualify the criteria of the sample, respondent target are procurement manager, production and IT.Findings: Samples are grouped into two ideal types of strategies used mean split technique. 53 SMEs adopt ASCS (Agile Supply Chain Strategy) and 49 SMEs adopt LSCS (Lean Supply Chain Strategy). Two of the strategy groups have a low value of misfit score; it means that the degree of fit between supply chain strategy and manufacturing strategy is high. The result of simple regression test by using one side technique shows that a regression coefficient values is negative both in LSCS and ASCS group, but the hypothesis test is only proven on ASCS group while LSCS group is not significant.Research limitations/implications: (1) The empirical finding of bivariate fit model test encourage a research space to explore the other contingent variable besides manufacturing strategy. For example, business and information technology strategy; (2) The measurement of the company performance becomes the objective of the success of the alignment of supply chain strategy with the contingent variable which should be specified using the performance variable of the supply chain.Originality/value: The use of Euclidean distance formula is expected to cover the technical limitations of contingency test by using interaction approach between the complex variables; the value of misfit score reflects the extent to which program alignment between the company functions.

“…The dimensions of sustainable development are critical depending on the stage of development of a country. In developing countries, the economic and environmental sustainability are important while in developed countries all the three dimensions are crucial (Magutu et al, 2015;Rosen & Kishawy, 2012;Vasileiou & Morris, 2006). This study only looked at economic and environmental sustainability since the focus was in Kenya a developing economy.…”

Managers are ever seeking for better ways of managing their constraints to improve their company's value chain performance and competitiveness. Although previous literature explored constraint management, it was inconclusive as to how constraint management could affect the value chain performance in tea processing chains. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between constraint management and firm value chain performance of tea processing firms. This study undertook an empirical study using survey questionnaire design to collect data. The respondents were production managers who have experience in production activities. The study applied multiple correlation and regression models to test the hypothesis. The results indicate that constraints management had a significant positive impact on improvement in quality, time, flexibility, cost and resource utilization in tea firms. This study provides a broad analysis of how organizations can improve their value chain performance for sustainable development by managing various constraints in the internal value chain. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first empirical study of the relationship between constraints management and value chain performance using data from tea processing firms operating in Kenya.

“…As Huff and Rogers (2015) pointed out, financial partnerships are important for all members to solve financing dilemma, reduce capital cost, and mitigate risks in supply chain system [4]. The financial partnerships of global supply chain originate from traditional enterprise relations, which is a kind of internal transaction relationship based on the ownership relationship on the premise of "vertical integration" mode [5,6]. Likewise, Nooraie and Parast (2016) studied the relationship among supply chain risk, supply chain visibility, and supply chain cost [7].…”

This paper focuses on the game evolution process and its influencing factors of financial risk cooperation behavior between suppliers and manufacturers in global supply chain system. Using two-population evolutionary game theory, the performance of supply chain members under financial risk environment is modeled. Further, the proposed financial risk game model is applied to simulation cases of global supply chain. Based on the theory analysis and simulation results, it is shown that the cooperation strategy is the optimal evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) for all supply chain members, when facing the high financial risk. The financial risksharing coefficient can be regarded as an adjuster that affects risk ESS of both suppliers and manufacturers under the low financial risk setting. By reducing the financial risk-sharing ratio of one supply chain player, his intention of adopting cooperation strategy would be enhanced. Finally, it is observed that financial risk sharing approach may lead to the alignment among supply chain members. Therefore, setting up an effective financial risk-sharing mechanism is beneficial to realize sustainable development of global supply chain.
