“…Hult et al have argued that the "strategic supply chain management" role is not merely moving products where they need to be, but is also a tool to enhance key outcomes [4,5]. By nature, supply chain entities are interdependent through sequential, parallel, and network structures, and collaboratively transform raw materials into finished products which can be highly vulnerable to uncertain risks and disruptions [6,7].…”

Analyzing Supply Chain Uncertainty to Deliver Sustainable Operational Performance: Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Modeling Approaches

Abstract:The purpose of this study is to analyze different types of supply chain uncertainties and suggest strategies to deal with unexpected contingencies to deliver superior operational performance (OP) using symmetrical and asymmetrical modeling approaches. The data were collected through a survey given to 146 supply chain managers within the fast moving consumer goods industry in Thailand. Symmetrical modeling is applied via partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) in order to assess the theoretical relationships among the latent variables, while asymmetrical modeling is applied via fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to emphasize their combinatory causal relation. The empirical results support the theory by highlighting the mediating effect of supply chain strategy (SCS) in the relation between supply chain uncertainty (SCU) and firms' OP and, hence, deliver business sustainability for the firms, demonstrating that the choice of SCS should not be an "either-or" decision. This research contributes by providing an illustration of a PLS-SEM and fsQCA based estimation for the rapidly emerging field of sustainable supply chain management. This study provides empirical support for resource dependence theory (RDT) in explaining the relation between SCU and SCS, which leads to sustainable OP. From a methodological standpoint, this study also illustrates predictive validation testing of models using holdout samples and testing for causal asymmetry.

“…Lean system allows manufacturing companies to be flexible to the dynamics changes of customer needs and requirements (Holweg, 2005). Additionally, lean system will result in a flexible supply chain for firms offering a variety of products, including innovative and customized products as it enables companies to adjust to customers' fluctuating demand through postponing the final assembly until the actual customer demand becomes known (Lee, 2002;Roh et al, 2014). According to Hay (1988) lean production not only enables companies to improve quality of their products, but also helps them to cut response time to market by as much as 90 percent.…”

“…He further argued that new or modified products requested by the customer can be developed and deliveried in half the time it currently takes while inventories and capital equipment necessary to do this can be drastically reduced. Such a market oriented lean system increases flexibility and enhances rapid market responses not only to unpredictable customer demand, but also to volatile sources of supply (Roh et al, 2014). Kilpatrick (2003) asserted that lean production enables companies to become more flexible and responsive to market trends as they will be able to deliver products faster and cheaper.…”

This paper examined the effects of four core and internal lean practices on flexibility performance in Jordanian manufacturing companies. Lean practices included setup time reduction, continuous improvement, synchronization of operations, and pull system. A survey questionnaire was used to collect data from 157 manufacturing companies from different industry types. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that lean production posively and significantly affected flexibility performance. All lean practices proved to be positively and significantly related to flexibility performance. The most contributing lean practice was synchronization of operations followed by pull system and continuous improvement. The moderating effect of environmental dynamism was also examined. The results of the interaction terms showed that environmental dynamism positively and significantly moderated the relationship between synchronization of operations and flexibility performance. The findings of this study highlighted the important role of synchronization of operations, a widely neglected lean practice in the literature, in improving flexibility performance. Additionally, we contributed to the controversial issue in the literature concerning the impact of lean production on performance in a dynamic environment.
