“…Additionally, supply chain efficiency is one of the key performance factors that can play a major role in supply chain development and create competitive advantages (Nikfarjam et al , 2015). While SCM is a mature discipline, the complexity of modern supply chains has grown considerably over the past two decades (Banyai et al , 2017; Cannella et al , 2017; Modrak and Soltysova, 2017) as a result of the dynamic interaction of a broad variety of processes, decisions and structures, whose understanding becomes necessary to achieve a competitive advantage in the market place (Cannella et al , 2018).…”

Purpose The main aim of this paper is to develop a supply chain efficiency framework to improve overall business performance in the competitive era. This paper offers a critical literature review on supply chain efficiency that aims to reveal the basic research that has been carried out, the problem areas and requirements for the efficiency in the new era of the supply chain. Design/methodology/approach The methodology followed during this research involves beginning with a wide base of articles lying at the supply chain intersection, performance measurement topics, and then screening the list to concentrate on supply chain efficiency. Findings Findings show that supply chain efficiency in the modern era remains an open research field. This research contributes to the supply chain literature by clarifying the supply chain efficiency definition, defining key measurements and variables for supply chain efficiency and developing a supply chain efficiency framework to improve overall performance. Practical implications This study will be very useful to the scholars working in this field. The proposed framework would help researchers and academicians to understand every dimension and variable of supply chain efficiency, allowing practitioners to measure efficiency levels and identify improvement measures. This framework would also act as a comprehensive guide for future studies and business practices. Originality/value As there are several state-of-the-art review papers on various supply chain areas, there is a lack of literature available on supply chain efficiency studies that can provide a comprehensive framework for researchers on related literature. Thus, the present study seeks to bridge this gap in the supply chain literature. Also, this study will provide a strong basis for researchers and academicians to apply the supply chain efficiency measurement system to the dynamic supply chain.

“…Modern SCs are no longer linear. They are characterized by network structures with autonomous and heterogeneous members with the dynamic interaction system (Cannella et al , 2018). In this regard, it is urgent to rethink approaches to the formation of economic mechanisms for SCM.…”

“…New technological developments, such as augmented reality, big data management, three-dimensional (3D) printing and the internet of things, have played a leading role in the SC evolution. These advanced technologies allow increasing the efficiency and flexibility of manufacturing, warehousing, cargo handling and distribution processes with an emphasis on the consumer (Cannella et al , 2018).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to substantiate the influence of approaches to the economic mechanisms formation for managing supply chains on export and import volumes as well as local cargo transportation. Design/methodology/approach The study outlines that the information technology use, in particular, highly specialized supply chain management (SCM) software, is necessary for the effective functioning of global supply chains (GSCs). For the purposes of the one-factor regression models of the relationship between the signs for the analyzed factors, volume of external cargo transportation, volume of internal cargo transportation and amount of investment in SCM software were built, and the correlation coefficients were also determined. The research was based on data of the Russian Federation, China and Germany. Findings According to the results, for local cargo transportation for all three counties (Russian Federation: R² = 0.3679, China: R² = 0.441, Germany: 0.441), the correlation coefficients indicated no connection between the factors under study, while for external ones, they denoted a strong direct relationship: Russian Federation: R² = 0.906, China: R² = 0.8692, Germany: 0.926. It is statistically confirmed that external transportations are carried out by enterprises involved in GSCs, while the local ones are mainly performed by the domestic market-oriented companies. Originality/value The study presents a model for the formation of economic mechanisms of SCM from the perspective of a systemic approach. It allows for structural analysis of the SCM strategy’s impact on the functioning of participants within three management levels (corporate, business and functional). The study contributes to the practical domain of SCM: the results of the study can be applied by top managers of companies in developing SCM strategies, as well as by officials in developing and implementing governmental supply chain-related policies. In terms of scientific contribution, the research can also be of use: its methods and results can be applied by scientists in researching approaches to the economic mechanisms formation for managing supply chains on export and import volumes, as well as local cargo transportation in various countries and regions.

“…Meanwhile, consumers benefit from lower prices, higher quality, and a greater variety of food [2]. However, globalization has also increased the complexity and anonymity of food supply and value chains [3]. This unsettles consumers as it becomes difficult to understand the complex dynamics of today's food supply chains [1].…”
