Commercial SCD constructs and select definitions
| Commercial SCD constructs | Select definitions |
|---|---|
| CODP | Separates forecast and order-driven activities (Mason-Jones et al., 2000b) |
| Competitive priorities | Manufacturers’ choice of tasks or key competitive capabilities (Chen and Paulraj, 2004) |
| Cost | Logistics costs, infrastructure, inventory (Schnetzler et al., 2007) |
| Delivery/Lead-time | Delivery-times, high fill rate (Schnetzler et al., 2007) |
| Dependability | Punctuality, delivery reliability rate (Schnetzler et al., 2007) |
| Flexibility | Managing changes and uncertainties (Schnetzler et al., 2007) |
| Quality | Meeting higher customer demands (Schnetzler et al., 2007) |
| External contingencies | Product/market requirements (exogenous variables) in SCD (Basnet and Seuring, 2016) |
| Demand variability/uncertainty | The inability to forecast product demand accurately (Basnet and Seuring, 2016) |
| Desired customer lead-time | The importance placed by the customer on quick delivery (Basnet and Seuring, 2016) |
| Product variety | Products may be characterised as standardised (low variety) or customised (high variety) (Basnet and Seuring, 2016) |
| Supply uncertainty/risk | Disruptions by various causes, such as natural disasters, yield losses, quality issues, etc. (Basnet and Seuring, 2016) |
| SC strategies | Specifies how a company can achieve its competitive advantage through its competitive priorities (Qi et al., 2011) |
| Agility | The ability to respond rapidly to unpredictable changes in demand or supply (Christopher and Peck, 2004) |
| Efficiency | Distinguished by longer production lead-times, high set-up costs and larger batch sizes that allow the efficient firm to produce at a low unit cost but often at the expense of market responsiveness (Randall et al., 2003) |
| ETO, BTO, MTO, ATO, PTO, STO, MTF/MTS | Involves postponement of design (ETO), purchasing (BTO), manufacture (MTO), assembly (ATO), packaging (PT0) and/or shipment (STO) or pure speculation (MTF/MTS) (Yang et al., 2004) |
| Full (pure) postponement | Both manufacturing and logistics activities are customer order initiated (Pagh and Cooper, 1998) |
| Full (pure) speculation | Based on forecasts involves full speculation of all manufacturing and logistics activities (Pagh and Cooper, 1998) |
| Leagility | Judicious selection and integration of appropriate aspects of lean and agile (Christopher et al., 2006) |
| Leanness | Means developing a value stream to eliminate all waste, including time, and to ensure a level schedule (Naylor et al., 1999) |
| Logistics postponement | Direct distribution of finished goods from centralised inventory (Pagh and Cooper, 1998) |
| Manufacturing postponement | Final manufacturing activities performed downstream in the SC (Pagh and Cooper, 1998) |
| Responsiveness | Distinguished by short production lead-times, low set-up costs and small batch sizes that allow the responsive firm to adapt quickly to market demand but often at a higher unit cost (Randall et al., 2003) |
| Risk-hedging | Aimed at pooling and sharing resources to enable risk sharing in supply disruption (Lee, 2002) |
