“…This criterion refers to the period between when a mobile facility starts the first batch and ending upon completion of the last batch. It is important for the Partner's transport planning to know how long a mobile facility needs to stay at a partner's site to complete the production process [94]. If they want to lease it for a short period, e.g., 3 to 5 weeks, they need support for repair and maintenance from the module provider.…”

“…This situation leads to certain challenges in the field of mobile supply chains, which is considered an innovative and novel concept based on disruptive technologies and digitization. In this concept, partners should show their willingness to accept new risks and uncertainty in order to perform efficiently [1,94].…”

“…Additionally, this scenario is applicable when the market threat is high; if the supplier does not collaborate with the other partner, they lose market share due to high levels of competition. Although customization is a crucial component of MSCs [100], previous studies have considered mass customization for implementing MSCs more economically efficient [94], requiring trustful collaboration with several partners.…”

Managing the Tension between Trust and Confidentiality in Mobile Supply Chains

This research investigates the tension between trust and confidentiality in Mobile Supply Chains (MSCs), where a production asset that is owned by one of the partners is outsourced to another partner of the supply chain for the production of goods, chemicals, or pharmaceuticals. The novelty of the MSC concept is to be found in its innovative and sustainable approach to production and operation processes in supply chains. Implementation of the MSC model could, however, raise trust and confidentiality concerns. The interplay of trust and confidentiality, or preservation of information privacy, between partners plays a central role in the supply chains, particularly because they are genuinely dependent on each other. Qualitative data analysis was used, in which semi-structured interviews with the experts from the chemical and pharmaceutical industries in Germany were conducted to investigate the tension between trust and confidentiality, and important factors affecting it. The results of the study present four different integration scenarios, namely, the low-quality, conservative, grey-box, and innovation scenarios, which consider different levels of trust, confidentiality and information sharing. Subsequently, the tension between trust and confidentiality is analyzed within these scenarios, and three effective strategies which encourage partners to balance the tension between trust and confidentiality are proposed. The study indicates that the balance between trust and confidentiality can be maintained in some scenarios when critical factors such as transparency, trust negotiation, and a reward-sharing system are present.

“…Recent studies show that developments of concepts such as location independent manufacturing (Lohtander et al , 2017), modular production (Baldea et al , 2017) and factory-in-a-box (Jackson et al , 2008) represent just some of the new concepts within mobile supply chains (MSCs) , where the production facilities can be transported in portable containers to provide real-time services at the location of the customer. This novel concept enables manufacturers to enhance adaptability, flexibility and reconfigurability of their production processes and decrease their transportation costs and CO2 footprint (Shahmoradi-Moghadam and Schönberger, 2021). Moreover, in MSCs, where advanced technologies are combined to “enable anything to be made anywhere” (Fox, 2019), a relatively high degree of risk and uncertainty can emerge due to the dynamic and complex features of this form of supply chain (Allman and Zhang, 2020).…”

“…This can lead to new business models in which the production lines can be shared among different stakeholders by means of leasing or renting production units. The complexity of a multi-stakeholder MSCs process is increased by the network of organizations, groups and individuals connected directly and indirectly through continuous or partial involvement in an MSCs (Ndubisi et al , 2020; Shahmoradi-Moghadam and Schönberger, 2021). Indeed, the MSCs concept depends strongly on the degree of relational stability and alliance performance in the network.…”

PurposeThe main purpose of this paper is the identification of the conceptualization of trust as well as its factors and outcomes in interorganizational relations in mobile supply chains (MSCs) in which multiple stakeholders collaborate.Design/methodology/approachThe authors first used a comprehensive literature review to extract related factors and outcomes of trust. Second, the authors conducted semi-structured interviews in chemical and pharmaceutical companies in Germany. These organizations stand out as leaders in the concept of MSCs and have developed collaborations with various stakeholders.FindingsBased on the results, a conceptual model has been developed that elaborates on the nature of trust and its factors and outcomes for cultivating trustful stakeholder collaboration. The study identifies six factors or approaches for building trust and two outcomes resulting from mutual trust.Practical implicationsThe conceptual model presented in this study can serve as a basis for developing trust in MSCs. Interorganizational collaborations in MSCs are more successful when saturated with trust. The collaboration systems must allow the innovative organizations to create value through the adaptation of advanced technologies without failure.Originality/valueThe study adds to the body of knowledge in building trust in multiple stakeholder collaboration, particularly in innovative organizations which are involved with disruptive technologies.
