“…The research conducted for the present study focuses on developed countries and its database was obtained from 151 manufacturing plants (with over 100 employees) in three industries (automotive components (44), electronics (42) and machinery (65)) in the 8 developed countries in the sample (UK (13), Germany (28), Japan (22), Sweden (9), Spain (25), Italy (29), Finland (17) and Austria (8)) on 2 continents. These industries were selected because their environments are characterized by intense global competition and because they are in transition (Ortega-Jimenez et al, 2015). The selection is limited to countries that were known for their strength in manufacturing.…”

Based on his own experience in a number of companies, Lee (2004) posits that the Triple-A (agility, adaptability and alignment) is essential for supply chain (SC) management to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage (CA). However, there is a lack of empirical research that analyzes the Triple-A SC and its impacts on CA. The objective of the present work is to address this omission and to provide empirical evidence on this topic using a multiple-informant, international sample from eight developed countries. A consistent partial least squares structural equation model (PLSc) is used on data for 151 manufacturing plants in three industrial sectors to determine whether agility, alignment and adaptability have individual and/or joint effects on achieving a CA in SCs. In relation to the individual effects, different CAs are achieved by each of the Triple-A variables. SC adaptability has been shown to have a significant positive relationship with all the dimensions of CA. SC alignment affects most of these dimensions, but SC agility only affects financial CA and flexibility CA. This research does, however, confirm the positive relationship for the joint effect of the Triple-A SC variables and CA. The effects are significant on all the CA measures except quality.

“…• Reconfigurability: "the ability of manufacturing systems to respond quickly to market changes (both expected and unexpected) through efficient, effective, fast configurations optimally fit for various purposes" (Ortega-Jimenez et al, 2015). Reconfigurability is linked to SC agility, adaptability and alignment (Kabra and Ramesh, 2016;Wei and Wang, 2010).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to establish definitions and dimensions of Triple-A supply chain (SC) variables based on a literature review and to validate a Triple-A SC measurement model using a worldwide multiple informant sample. Design/methodology/approach Following a literature review, Triple-A SC variables (agility, alignment and adaptability) are conceptualized and a list of possible items is created for their measurement. An international 309 plant sample is used to validate the convergent and criterion validities of the composites proposed to measure Triple-A SC. Findings Contributions to the literature: clarification of Triple-A SC variable concepts; identification of key dimensions of Triple-A SC variables; development of a validated Triple-A SC measurement scale for future empirical research and industrial applications. Research limitations/implications A rigorously validated instrument is needed to measure Triple-A SC variables and enable researchers to credibly test theories regarding causal links between capabilities, practices and performance. Practical implications Proposal of a scale for use by managers of different functions to analyze Triple-A SC deployment in the company. Originality/value The only Triple-A SC scale used in the previous literature has serious limitations: scales were not taken from an extended literature review; data were collected from single respondents in a single country. This is the first validated Triple-A SC measurement model to overcome these limitations.

“…Five scales were created: modularity, integrability, convertibility, supplier responsiveness and product responsiveness. In the creation of these scales, the studies of Maganha et al (2018), Jimenez et al (2015), Al-Hawajreh and Attiany (2014) were benefited from. The questionnaire consists of two parts.…”

İşletmelerin, yeniden yapılandırılabilir üretim sistemlerine ve tedarikçi cevap verebilirliği yeteneğine sahip olması; ani ve öngörülmeyen durumlara tepki verilmesi açısından önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yeniden yapılandırılabilir üretim sistemlerinin ve tedarikçi cevap verebilirliğinin, ürün cevap verebilirliği üzerinde etkisinin olup olmadığını incelemektir. Gerçekleştirilen literatür taraması sonucunda, bu etkinin ele alındığı bir çalışma ile karşılaşılmamıştır. Bu doğrultuda yapılan çalışmanın, ilgili alandaki boşluğu doldurarak, literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Çalışmada, iki ayrı hipotez oluşturularak, bir uygulama gerçekleştirilmiştir. Türkiye'de imalat sektöründe faaliyet gösteren orta ve büyük ölçekli işletmelerin üst düzey yöneticilerinden, 397'sinin katılımıyla anket yapılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler ile güvenilirlik analizi ve yapı geçerliliği test edilerek ulaşılan sonuçlar sunulmuştur. Ayrıca, yapısal eşitlik modeli kullanılarak araştırma modeli sınanmıştır. Hipotez testleri sonucunda, yeniden yapılandırılabilir üretim sistemleri ile ürün cevap verebilirliği arasında olumlu yönde bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Tedarikçi cevap verebilirliği ile ürün cevap verebilirliği arasında da olumlu yönde bir ilişki tespit edilerek, hipotezler doğrulanmıştır.
