Integrating environmental management and supply chain strategies

The decisions related to managing the supply chain and supply chain strategy are already considered important in many organizations. As more executives adopt environmental practices, supply chain strategies will only increase in importance. In this paper, we review how companies develop environmental supply chain strategies. Our interviews with companies from The United States, The United Kingdom, Japan and Korea, along with prior research, are used to develop a framework for environmental supply chain strategy decision‐making. We then use this framework to suggest guidelines for how companies might change their current supply chain practices to successfully integrate environmental issues into their supply chain strategy.

库存-运输整合优化问题（ITIO）是供应链协调的重要方面,是将供应链中的库存和运输问题综合分析,以期降低供应链成本,提高供应链绩效,实现库存和运输的协调。本文探讨了仿真方法在库存一运输整合优化战略层面的应用,并进行了实证分析。     

The Role of Green Collaborative Strategies in Improving Environmental Sustainability in Supply Chains: Insights from a Case Study

This article aims to quantify to what extent collaborative strategies are more effective than internal or organization‐level actions to green supply chains. In this regard, the impact of decisions made at different stages of a supply chain in a product's carbon footprint is quantified. Organizational and product carbon footprints are calculated using the Compound Method Based on Financial Accounts (MC3). The results underline that concentrating reduction efforts in some stages of the supply chain is more effective than implementing individual actions by the participants. Collaboration among the participants is needed to decide what practices are implemented, at what stage they are needed and how they are to be implemented. This article adds to the literature on supply chains and sustainability. Previous research suggests that collaborative strategies have great potential for reducing the carbon footprint of products, while indicating the need for empirical research to support this statement.

基于库存管理ABC分析的运输与库存整合

运输与库存整合优化是供应链管理中的重要研究课题。论文研究由一个供应商和多个零售商组成的分销系统,在库存实行ABC管理的基础上,零售商采取周期订货策略。在每个零售商处的客户需求是随机的且服从一定的概率分布。我们的目标是在满足给定的客户服务水平的条件下。寻求该供应链运输和库存总费用的最小化。通过对库存水平及它们与客户随机需求变量之间的关系分析,得到最优的订货策略。     

An exploration of factors influencing the choice of commodity price risk mitigation strategies

Most firms are exposed to price volatility associated with commodities, which can significantly affect the price paid for raw materials, energy, packaging, shipping, and component purchases. Commodity price risk represents the financial, operational and informational effects of commodity price volatility (CPV). The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the supply chain risk management literature by providing a taxonomy of commodity price risk mitigation strategies and factors that may influence the adoption of these strategies. A qualitative study was conducted using a grounded theory approach, based on case studies of companies with home operations in Italy, Germany, and the US. The paper provides some initial evidence for theory and practice as to: 1) how firms can mitigate the risk from CPV by implementing various sourcing, contracting, and financing strategies; and 2) the influence of commodity/product factors, buying organization factors, supply chain factors, and external environment factors on strategy capability and choice.     

“双循环”新格局下我国跨国制造企业的供应链战略

文章主要研究"双循环"新格局下我国跨国制造企业的供应链战略。考虑当前国家发展战略,我国跨国制造企业全球供应链宜采取双供应链模式。通过对一些典型跨国企业的跨国战略及供应链模式进行分析,再基于已有的理论研究成果和风险共担原理,进一步提出双供应链的优化结构,即"星状"生产模型。"星状"生产模型是由中国本土生产基地和许多海外微型"速度工厂"组成。基于这种双供应链的跨国战略很好地权衡了全球化与响应性两种目标,既能够降低生产成本又可及时响应海外市场。     

供应链管理中企业间冲突的解决策略研究

为了探索解决我国供应链企业冲突的途径,对我国供应链企业间冲突形成的原因进行了分析,并在此基础上对提出了冲突解决策略。分析发现：供应链企业的目标不相容、任务完成的相互依赖、对有限资源的争夺、管理模式难以统一、长鞭效应等问题都会造成供应链各企业间冲突,而通过加强供应链合作伙伴的挑选、建立战略合作伙伴关系及有效的沟通机制、供应链核心企业的主导作用、依据目标升级法设置超级目标等策略可以有效地解决供应链各企业间的冲突。     

Optimal strategic alliance in multi-echelon supply chains with open innovation

We propose a game-theoretic approach to examine several possible coalition strategies in a four-echelon supply chain consisting of a supplier, manufacturer, wholesaler, and retailer. A solitude model is used to probe the role of learning in quality improvements, and experimental design is conducted to evaluate all possible supply chain coalition strategies between echelons. The novelty of this study is the comprehensive evaluation of knowledge-sharing strategies in collaborative supply chains. The results confirm that the Delta model with a coalition among a supplier, manufacturer, and retailer is the best strategy.     

封闭供应链概念及其基本特征研究

在梳理供应链运行策略理论发展脉络的基础上,从产品安全的视角出发,归纳提出了封闭供应链的概念。通过比较封闭供应链与其他供应链运行策略的差异,进一步总结了封闭供应链的基本特征。     

The effects of innovation–cost strategy, knowledge, and action in the supply chain on firm performance

Despite the importance of supply chains within today's economy, we know little about how the knowledge of supply chains can contribute to superior performance at the firm level. Building on the resource-based view, knowledge-based view and strategic choice theory, we develop hypotheses linking two knowledge-driven supply chain phenomena (i.e., knowledge development capacity and intellectual capital), innovation–cost strategy, and action to firm-level performance. Using survey and archival data from 489 firms, we found that performance is influenced by how well knowledge development capacity and intellectual capital efforts complement alternative chain strategies. More specifically, each strategy type requires different constellations of knowledge development capacity and intellectual capital to enhance action and create superior firm performance. These results highlight the importance of supply chain phenomena for firm-level performance, and more broadly, the value of supply chains as a competitive weapon in contemporary firms.
