“…Secondly, this study reveals the usefulness of each dimension in SSCM practices. Earlier studies on SSCM practices involved the collected use of resources and deployment of capabilities to achieve a competitive economic advantage along with environmental and social benefits [15,24,31,[59][60][61]. However, this study has SSCM practices with social and environmental practices refined into two dimensions of process-and market-based practices.…”

“…Firms striving to undertake SSCM practices are virtually impossible to imitate [24], especially in strategic decisions, which are based on environmental and social insights to solve problems, sense opportunities and threats, make market-oriented decisions and reconfigure its resource base and capabilities [25]. Hence, this theory has gained considerable popularity to explain how SSCM practices could help a firm attain a differential advantage and lead to a successful business model [24,31,[59][60][61].…”

Malaysia has recently started to adopt sustainable business best practices to benefit companies, environment and stakeholders. Therefore, this study demonstrates pathways to sustainable supply chain triple bottom line performance derived from linkages of institutional pressures (IP) and organizational identity (OI) to environment and social sustainable practices. It shows that the superordinate goal of sustainable supply chain management is met in spite of unyielding external pressures and desirable OI driving the unequivocal environmental and responsible social practices of firms. A survey approach was adopted to gather the data required for this study. A total of 118 completed questionnaires were received from respondents, who were managers and senior executives in supply chain management (SCM) in Malaysia. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with partial least squares (PLS-SEM) version 3.0. Our findings showed that all hypothesized relationships are significant except both process-and market-based social practices could not directly impact economic performance. This is in sharp contrast to environmental practices. However, the significant linkage between social practices and social performance is a pathway for the former to economic performance. Therefore, the economic benefits derived from social practices are salvaged through its performance outcomes. The novel and useful impact of institutional pressures on sustainable supply chain practices are also unearthed.

“…Several scholarly research studies have explored, in this connection, many technological, organizational, and supply chain factors to develop a comprehensive model of effective emergency disaster management (Bozarth and Handfield 2015;Dubey et al 2015;Dwivedi et al 2017;Ekanayake et al 2013;Jabbour et al 2017a;Kovács and Spens 2011;Shibin et al 2017c;Van Wassenhove 2006). These issues have substantially highlighted the effectiveness of supply chain management, the roles of participating organizations, interoperability among them, networking, the utilization of information and communication technology management in monitoring and forecasting a disaster, and, finally, the attitude and performance of the relief workers in managing these activities properly and timely.…”

This study has addressed and identified the problems in managing the existing emergency supply chain of Bangladesh in all phases of operation in terms of the primary drivers of the supply chain. It has also attempted to conceptualize and suggest an effective emergency supply chain. In this context, a thorough field investigation in several districts was conducted among the employees of the organizations sharing common information with similar protocols and implications (interoperable). Information was collected from the employees of all the participating organizations involved in disaster management through a semi-structured questionnaire based survey. The respondents addressed and illustrated several interconnected reasons which are inhibiting proper forecasting, procurement, storage, identification of affected people, and distribution. The respondents pointed out that the mismatching of objectives in the different organizations resulted in non-interoperability among the participating organizations. These issues are related to the malfunctioning of management with multidimensional organizational conflicts. Reflecting those issues, an emergency supply chain for disaster management is proposed in this study.

“…The effect of mix flexibility on manufacturing cost reduction was empirically proven by research done by (Belekoukias et al, 2014). In the same vein, mix flexibility has positive impact towards cost reduction and this has been supported by (Shibin et al, 2017). Meanwhile, (Sekaran and Bougie, 2013) has concluded that labor flexibility has positive and significant impact on cost reduction.…”

“…However, negligence of external factors such as suppliers, distributors, and customers did affect an organization's ability to fulfil customer expectations and their survivability in uncertainty (Jabbour et al, 2017). Various manufacturing practices such as lean manufacturing, world class manufacturing, knowledge management, organization learning, total quality management (TQM), quick response program (QRM), efficient consumer response (ECR), systems dynamics, business process re-engineering, mass customization, manufacturing flexibility, total productive maintenance and benchmarking of best practices are proposed to help the organizations in enhancing their performance especially the manufacturing functions (Shibin et al, 2017;Obi and Okekeokosisi, 2018;Obiero, 2018). With respect to the production system, due to lacking of understanding of the synergy within the manufacturing system, many firms have implemented the manufacturing flexibility in an incomplete way.…”

Purpose: The current study is interested in exploring the nexus between manufacturing flexibility supply chain practices and manufacturing performance of Indonesian manufacturing firms. Multidimensionality of manufacturing flexibility within the function of manufacturing is generally accepted by past researchers and its importance honoured. Methodology: Employing the survey-based methodology, the SEM-PLS technique is used to test the hypothesized relationships. So, the current study has used SEM-PLS as a statistical tool to answer the research questions raised in this study and research objectives envisaged in the current study. Results: The complexity of manufacturing flexibility has made this concept difficult to comprehend yet delimit. To date, agreement on how to practice this concept has not yet been resolved. The findings of the study have provided support to the theoretical foundation and proposed hypothesis of the current study. Current study will be helpful for policymakers and practitioners in understanding the issues related to supply chain risk, supply chain integration and supply chain agility. In the author's knowledge this is among very few pioneering studies on this issue.
