Enhancing supply chain performance through collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment

Abstract

Purpose Despite the importance of collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment (CPFR), its influence on supply chain innovation capability (SCIC) and supply chain performance (SCP) has not been sufficiently examined. The purpose of this paper is to examine the antecedence of SCP through CPFR and SCIC. Design/methodology/approach Through cluster and stratified random sampling, 286 responses from top managers of 1,574 Nigerian manufacturing companies were analyzed. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling with AMOS graphics. Findings The results show that SCIC has a full mediating effect on the relationship between CPFR and SCP. Specifically, CPFR has a significant relationship with both SCP and SCIC, and SCIC also relates significantly to SCP. Practical implications This study offers implications for manufacturers in developing countries in general, and in Nigeria in particular, by providing a guideline on how to improve SCP through CPFR. Originality/value The paper contributes to the limited studies on CPFR and SCP by extending this line of study into the realm of innovation capability and innovation. It integrates the social exchange theory and the dynamic capabilities theory to examine the collaborative processes of CPFR in the supply chain context. This study stressed the importance of boundary theoretical spanning by extending CPFR and SCP into the domain of innovation capability.

Developing a framework for enhancing survivability of sustainable supply chains during and post-COVID-19 pandemic

“…From Table 5, it is revealed that Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR) (C 5-1 ) and Co-creation (C 5-3 ) have attained weights (.0.1215) and (0.0662) respectively indicating that both these factors are significant in managing buyer and supplier relationships and also enhancing the survivability of SSCs. CPFR (C 5-1 ) is a business activity that unites the intelligence of several SCs and jointly practising forecasting and planning for improving demand visibility and efficiency (Singhry and Rahman 2019). The demand and supply of essentials is outside the boundaries for which the SCs are designed for and thus CPFR will provide the accuracy in forecasting or anticipating demand.…”

Exploring factors of the sustainable supply chain in the post-COVID-19 pandemic: SWARA approach

“…As the COVID-19 spreads to new places, the global and local supply chains must implement mitigation and alternative plans. The companies see sustainability as a competitive opportunity for associating with suppliers (Singhry and Rahman 2019 ). Supply chain co-creation in supply chains aims to enhance the process and product while making improvements.…”

Strategic issues in supply chain management of Indian SMEs due to globalization: an empirical study

“…Lu et al (2018) studied the SC integration and operational performance of the original equipment manufacturer in China automotive industries. Singhry and AbdRahman (2019) observed that SC innovation capability effect SC performance. observed that internal structure of organizations also affect financial performance.…”
