...Supply Chain Management of the Year Article Review Pamela N. Hardnett BUS 612: Advanced Project Procurement Instructor: Kevin Kuznia August 24, 2014 Supply Chain Management of the Year Article Review In reading the assigned article from this week’s readings, we learned about John MacLean and his awesome supply management skills. MacLean encouraged others to think big and think out of the box (Teague, 2009). Maclean's endeavors to increase the worth acquiring and production network put up to American, including income creation, speedier time for sale to the public, better-quality items and different measurements. He pushes others to take accountability for their actions. I am honored to be on his team. As my project sponsor, I know that he will be available upon request to assist me in obtaining the necessary support needed in order to make decisions, and to successfully create my project. Carrying on without an effective sponsor raises the probability of project failure and I as the project manager will be held accountable for that failing (Lynda Bourne, 2012). As the project manager of American Airlines, I think that I would be a great leader when it comes to the upgrading of our technology. Every organizational endeavor is structured to ensure efficient, lean and effective supply chain (Benton, 2013). My main focus would be to come up with a strategic plan that would assist my team in implementing a better system to track the location of our planes. In making a...

Pharmaceutical companies, a major player of the drug supply chain, are subject to many risks. These risks disrupt the supply of medicine in many ways such as their quantity and quality and their delivery to the right place and customers and at the right time. Therefore risk identification in the supply process of pharmaceutical companies and mitigate them is highly recommended. Objective: In this study it is attempted to investigate pharmaceutical supply chain risks with perspective of manufacturing companies. Methods: Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science bibliographic databases and Google scholar scientific search engines were searched for pharmaceutical supply chain risk management studies with 6 different groups of keywords. All results found by keywords were reviewed and none-relevant articles were excluded by outcome of interests and researcher boundaries of study within 4 steps and through a systematic method. Results: Nine articles were included in the systematic review and totally 50 main risks based on study outcome of interest extracted which classified in 7 categories. Most of reported risks were related to supply and supplier issues. Organization and strategy...

Literature survey and citation/ co-citation analysis are used to fulfil the research task. Literature survey has undertaken a thorough search of articles on selected journals relevant to supply chain operations management. Meanwhile, citation/co-citation analysis uses Web of Sciences database to disclose SCRM development between 1995 and 2009. Both the approaches show similar trends of rising publications over the past 15 years. This review has piloted us to identify and classify the potential risk associated with different flows, namely material, cash and information flows. Consequently, we identify some research gaps.

The study aims at revealing the basic research methodologies/approaches followed, problem areas and requirements for the performance management of the new supply chain era. The review study covers articles coming from major journals related with the topic, including a taxonomy study and detailed investigation as to the methodologies, approaches and findings of these works. The methodology followed during the conduct of this research includes starting with a broad base of articles lying at the intersection of supply chain, information technology (IT), performance measurement and business process management topics and then screening the list to have a focus on supply chain performance measurement. Findings reveal that performance measurement in the new supply era is still an open area of research. Further need of research is identified regarding framework development, empirical cross-industry research and adoption of performance measurement systems for the requirements of the new era, to include...

Changes in supply chain management have been truly revolutionary, and the pace of progress shows no sign of moderating. In our increasingly interconnected and interdependent global economy, the process of delivering supplies and finished goods (and information and other business services) from one place to another is accomplished by means of mind-boggling technological innovations, clever new applications of old ideas, seemingly magical mathematics, powerful software, and old-fashioned concrete, steel, and muscle.

Further posting, copying or distributing is copyright infringement. The Threat of Global Gridlock COPYRIGHT © 2009 HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL PUBLISHING CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. by George Stalk, Jr. As our worldwide transportation network becomes less and less able to support the demands of a global economy, we’re heading straight into a crisis. A crisis? How can we be facing a critical shortage in transportation capacity when plummeting demand and rising protectionism have reduced the flow of goods around the world to a trickle? When container ships are being laid up and the rail and trucking industries are laying off workers? When the United States is spending billions of economic stimulus dollars on improving its transportation infrastructure? Today’s economic meltdown masks the threat. But if prerecession trends reappear when the economy recovers, lack of infrastructure capacity, in combination with rising oil prices, will constrain global trade and drive up costs. The U.S. stimulus package, with its focus on “shovel-ready” projects that quickly create jobs, will produce newly painted bridges and newly paved roads but is unlikely to address the capacity problem. Few executives realize the magnitude of the challenges that are about to hit them. Even fewer are investing to reduce transportation ...

Gargeya b,1 School of Management, Enterprise Hall, MSN 5F4, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030-4444, United States b Information Systems and Operations Management Department, 479, Bryan Building, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, NC 27402, United States Abstract In this paper, we review decision support models for the design of global supply chains, and assess the fit between the research literature in this area and the practical issues of global supply chain design. The classification scheme for this review is based on ongoing and emerging issues in global supply chain management and includes review dimensions for (1) decisions addressed in the model, (2) performance metrics, (3) the degree to which the model supports integrated decision processes, and (4) globalization considerations. We conclude that although most models resolve a difficult feature associated with globalization, few models address the practical global supply chain design problem in its entirety. We close the paper with recommendations for future research in global supply chain modeling that is both forward-looking and practically oriented. Ó 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

...FACTORS INFLUENCING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF SUPPLY CHAIN 1. RESEARCH AREA The importance of operations logistics and supply chain management has shown a tremendous growth in the past decade. One main area which remains underestimated and not taken care of by supply chain practitioners is sustainability management. The practice of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) is still untouched by many organizations and not fully understood by many practicing companies. So this led to increasing amount of research in this area of supply chain management. (Seuring & Muller, 2008) This paper aims to address the research questions which can able to explain the major factors influencing the sustainable process of supply chain management. On the sustainable side, it involves addressing environmental, ethical, social, economic problems. So the purpose of this paper is to give a proposed approach to effective SSCM. (Faisal, 2010) 2. RESEARCH PROBLEM Acquiring and maintaining sustainability in supply chain management has become the key problem in supply chain practices. SSCM has gained more interest by the companies and also by the researchers. (Colicchia et al, 2011) The more vital process involved is quantifying the sustainability. On considering quantifying, the key issue is considering system boundaries, i.e. analyzing the single organizational operations or the entire supply process as a whole, or considering the direct impact from internal environment or the direct impact...
