... analytics tools, the essential foundation and focus on restoring stability remain unchanged and limit the capacity of SCP to adapt to uncertainty. We aim to address this limitation and the way forward in research and practice of SCP through adaptable supply chain planning (ASCP). Design/methodology...

...Aleksi Harju; Elina Karttunen; Jukka Hallikas Purpose This study aims to investigate how different sources of uncertainty hinder the measurement and reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the steel supply chain (SC). It also examines how information processing mechanisms can support SC...

... There is an increasing importance of considering uncertainty, an increasing interest in dynamic phenomena, such as the transient response(s) to disruptions, and an increasing need to consider complementary outcomes, such as sustainability, which many researchers believe can be tackled by big data and modern analytical...

... and spatial complexity with the geographical dispersion of the suppliers. Complexity in modern and global supply chains is one of the most critical problems in today's business context. Several market uncertainties drive companies to manage a certain level of supply chain complexity in order to carry...

... combined replication and comparison logic with coding. Findings This study identifies four major distinctive dimensions of Ecosystem PMMS under uncertainty: (1) Integrative Performance (considering the different ecosystem actors’ performance), (2) Interdependence Performance (mutual, yet...

... environment. Common understanding is a starting point for changing decision-making structures to improve the overall performance of a demand-supply chain. Sharing high-quality information in time is an essential means of decreasing uncertainty. Anticipating upcoming orders lowers the costs of buffering...

...Melanie E. Kreye The purpose of this paper is to investigate how the complexity of the service offering (service complexity) affects the uncertainty during service operations in engineering services. Specifically, the authors compare the existence of organisational, relational, environmental...

...Melanie E. Kreye Purpose Relational uncertainty determines how relationships develop because it enables the building of trust and commitment. However, relational uncertainty has not been explored in an inter-organisational setting. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how organisations...

... – structural, uncertainty, dynamics, pace and socio‐political complexity. These five dimensions present individuals and organisations with choices about how they respond to each type of complexity, in terms of business case, strategic choice, process choice, managerial capacity and competencies. Originality...

...Edmund Prater; Markus Biehl; Michael Alan Smith Firms operating in an international environment face a host of uncertainties that make it difficult to meet deadlines reliably. To be reliable in an uncertain and changing environment, firms must be able to quickly respond to changes. The ability...

... the system′s status information, and a set of pseudo‐performances. Pseudo‐performances are estimated future performances based on a series of “what‐if” scenarios and have an important role in determining actions to achieve desired goals. Uncertainty and complexity are well‐known as two main problem...

...Per Lindberg Asks how implementation management affects implementation uncertainty, adaptation cycles and performance. Assesses retrospective case studies of three Swedish FMS implementation processes. The cases represent technically similar systems, but with different project characteristics...

...Kenneth R. Baker Three approaches to the problem of determining buffer stocks to protect against uncertainty in product mix are presented. Each approach can be adapted to recognise the total cost, rather than the total size of component safety stock. Uncertainty in product mix arises because...
