“…Definitions of robustness focus on the ability to continue with operations (Stonebraker, Goldhar & Nassos, 2009) while resisting the impact of supply chain disruptions. It has been argued that supply chain robustness has yet to be clearly defined in the supply chain risk literature and remains misunderstood (Vlajic, van Lokven, Haijema & van der Vorst, 2012). In addition, further work, for example developing scales, is required (Natarajarathinam, Capar & Narayanan, 2009).…”

Understanding supply chain resilience and robustness is increasingly important for supply chain managers. This is due to the growing complexity of contemporary supply chains and the subsequent increased probability of experiencing a disruption. Few studies within the risk management literature have empirically disentangled the concepts of resilience and robustness or explored their antecedents. This study utilizes a contingent resource‐based view perspective to understand the relationship between specific resources (information sharing and connectivity), capabilities (visibility), and performance in terms of supply chain resilience and robustness. In addition, it utilizes supply base complexity as a moderating factor. Survey data collected from 264 UK manufacturing plants suggest that supply chain connectivity and information sharing resources lead to a supply chain visibility capability which enhances resilience and robustness. Of the four dimensions of complexity, only scale is found to have a strong moderating effect on this relationship, while geographic dispersion, differentiation, and delivery complexity do not have contingent effects. This study highlights theoretical and managerial implications for approaches to resilience and robustness.

“…Studies have highlighted a number of factors associated with the emergency distribution and logistics management through established supply chain networks. Complexities relating to: non-cooperation amongst stakeholders with vested interests, disrupted supply chain communication, poor logistics and inefficient distribution network, corruption, poor communication and lack of coordination amongst stakeholders (Diallo et al, 2017;Hussain & Uddin, 1995;Shareef et al, 2017;Su et al, 2008;Surana et al, 2005;Stevenson & Spring , 2009;Vlajic et al, 2013;Wu et al, 2011;Zheng et al, 2017). Many of these factors directly relate to the numerous problems inherent within the hilsa supply chain.…”

The complexities surrounding the supply chain logistics for perishable commodities within Bangladesh are extensive. Poor infrastructure, fragmented transportation and corruption compound the operational complexities within this emerging market. This case study analyses many of the day-to-day operational challenges and tensions inherent within Micro-Small-Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) forming the backbone of the Bangladesh socio-economic structure. The drive for transition toward greater levels of sustainability and corporate responsibility is problematic, affecting many levels within an extended and fragmented supply chain. The selected case study highlights the "lived in" geographical, environmental, economic and cultural factors that impact the ability of emerging market enterprises to remain profitable within emergency scenarios whilst transitioning toward a more sustainable model. This study, whilst detailing many of the tensions and critical issues facing MSMEs, highlights the benefits of direct Government intervention, criticality of a leaner and more efficient supply chain and reassessment of financial incentives to drive the transition to a more efficient and sustainable economy.

“…In the supply chain management literature, robustness is considered as the ability of a supply chain to continue to function well even when faced with disturbances in its processes (Dong, 2006;Tang, 2006;Waters, 2007;Stonebraker et al, 2009;Weiland and Wallenburg, 2012;Vlajic et al 2013). Figure 1: Framework for achieving robust supply chains (adapted from Vlajic et al, 2012) Generally, to achieve robustness supply chains have to manage disturbances successfully.…”

“…The selection of a particular redesign strategy depends on the characteristics of disturbances and its vulnerability sources (Vlajic et al, 2013). While the majority of papers in the supply chain risk management literature focuses on identification and analysis of risks and disturbances, as well as identification of appropriate or optimal redesign strategies that can be used when disturbances occur, there is little research devoted to opportunities and challenges of small and medium enterprises (SMEs)…”

“…For example, to reduce impact of disturbances in the case of supplier failure the company orders slightly higher quantities of raw milk than planned, which results in high utilisation of production capacity (c.f. Vlajic et al, 2013). In this way, variation in input does not affect required production output, and the company gets increased flexibility in realisation of the production program.…”

The aim of this paper is to analyse vulnerability and robustness of small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) supply chains and to consider contextual factors that might influence the success of their disturbance management: Risky product and business environment. By using an exploratory case study it is shown how these contextual factors attribute vulnerability sources, contribute to the robustness of a company's performance and supply chain vulnerability, as well as how a company seeks to manage internal and external vulnerability sources. The exploratory case is based on a fresh food supply chain of a manufacturing SME operating in a developing market.Case findings suggest that fresh food supply chains of a manufacturing SME in developing markets are prone to disruptions of their logistics and production processes due to 'riskiness' of fresh food products, the 'riskiness' of developing markets, as well as 'riskiness' of SMEs themselves. However, this does not necessarily indicate the vulnerability of an SME and its entire supply chain. Findings indicate that SMEs can be very successful in disturbance management by selective use of redesign strategies that aim to prevent or reduce the impact of disturbances. More precise, it is likely that an SME can achieve robust performance by employing preventive redesign strategies in managing 2 disturbances that result from internal, company related vulnerability sources, while impact reduction strategies are likely to contribute to robust performance of an SME if used to manage disturbances that result from internal, supply chain related vulnerability sources, as well as external vulnerability sources.
