“…Adequate risk-mitigation strategies help firms in identifying, assessing, measuring, monitoring, and controlling SCRs [17]. Previous studies focusing on managing SCRs suggest that operational practices, strategic practices, or redundancy practices effectively cope with SCRs [15,18,19]. Practices for managing SCRs can be categorized as SC resilience, SC agility, and SC robustness [20][21][22][23].…”

Risk is inherent in all parts of life and brings consequences, but when it specifically emerges in supply chains, it is susceptible. Therefore, this study aims at identifying and assessing supply chain risks and developing criteria for managing these risks. Supply chain (SC) risks consist of complex, uncertain, and vague information, but risk assessment techniques in the literature have been unable to handle complexity, uncertainty, and vagueness. Therefore, this study presents a holistic approach to supply chain risk management. In this paper, neutrosophic (N) theory is merged with the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) to deal with complexity, uncertainty, and vagueness. Then the proposed methodology is practically implemented through a case study on the automotive industry. SC resilience, SC agility, and SC robustness were selected as criteria for managing supply chain risks and analyzed using N-AHP. Furthermore, seventeen risks were identified and assessed by using N-TOPSIS. Results suggest supply chain resilience is the most important criterion for managing supply chain risks. Moreover, supplier delivery delays, supplier quality problems, supplier communication failures, and forecasting errors are the most vulnerable risks that occur in supply chains of the automotive industry in Pakistan.

“…Because of the globalization, the development of information technology, and the variety of customer requirements make many businesses face highly volatile and uncertain environments resulting from short product life cycles and frequent and uncertain changes in demand. For such enterprises, flexibility has increasingly become a core strategic competency (Yu et al, 2015). Especially in times when the economic conditions are violent, buyers tend to be more conservative and more cautious in placing orders.…”

The emergence and development of the fourth industrial revolution affects production systems. This new revolution also has an impact on logistics, which has a direct relationship with production. Organizations give importance on innovation, technological change and product differentiation to compete with their rivals. Innovativeness creates better understanding of customer needs and wants, catch up their rivals and become more proactive in seeking the market opportunities for organizations. Therefore, improving logistics services using innovations can help improving strong customer relationships, derive barriers to competition, increase customer loyalty, change costs and conduct market activities more effectively. In this context, the objective of this study is to prioritize the innovation factors in logistics industry using a pairwise comprehensive method named Analytic Network Process (ANP). This model is proposed to define a ranking between selected criteria for innovation based decisions. This methodology demonstrates, which criteria has the most important role in the innovation processes.

“…Changes can occur in the internal and external company. Operatioanl flexibility is a capability of responding to uncertainty, either proactively or reactively (Yu, Cadeaux & Luo, 2015). Since the flow of materials is only triggered by customer orders, make to order firms needs to be flexible since their operations are always subject to a variety of uncertainties, such as customer demand and supplier capacity (Chan and Chan, 2010 in Kuo et al ,2016).…”

In the printing business, brokers are experiencing fierce competition. Many problems always face by the broker because in the production, brokers do not use their own resources, but integrate with service providers. The purpose of this research is to test and analyze the relation of the attributes of flexibility, dependence, relationship quality and integration strategies toward the printing brokers performance.The research is done to the 133 respondents, which all of them are printing brokers who do production in the Semarang area. Methods of data collection by using questionnaires. The method of data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS 20 software.The results showed that the flexibility and relationships quality had a positive effect on strategy integration. While the dependence does not affect the strategy integration. And the strategy integration variables have a positive effect on the broker performance.
