    This paper presents a conceptual model of a viable onshore, agile supply chain approach for innovative product manufacturers in the manufacturing sector. As such, this paper provides insight into the drawbacks of offshore manufacturing and an empirical investigation into the importance of the manufacturing sector. This study aims to answer the research question: how can agile supply chain management add value to the manufacturing to create innovative products closer to the end-user? A theoretical framework was developed through a qualitative methodology to demonstrate effective onshore operation and supply chain. For the first time, the combination of Dynamic Capabilities (DC) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) theories has been used as a lens to examine the location decision of a close geographical supply chain network – global supply chain debate. Offshore manufacturing and global sourcing do not appear to fit the DC theory in a geographically and culturally distant situation, especially when supply chains involve operations in different continents. The ‘theoretical perspective’, including DC and TCO suggests that companies should frequently integrate, build and reconfigure internal and external competences to promptly react to the changing environment and they should also wisely calculate all the indirect, hidden, lifecycle and transaction costs of an operation when considering moving production offshore. Although studies in the agile supply chain area have examined competitiveness from several perspectives, there has been little to no research focusing on the advantages of agile, nearshore operation and supply chain solutions. This research notably widens the theoretical perspective of agility and adaptability for innovative product manufacturers in the manufacturing sector, and the viability of remaining close to the market and apply agile supply chain.

    The emergence of industrial revolution 4.0, digital era, social media networks, ride-sharing transportation networks, video on demand, 5G network technology, and other cutting-edge technologies has transformed the current research paradigm in science into the fourth stage where “big data” is analyzed using various statistical explorations. Conversely, there are still deficiencies in scientific articles exploring “big data” in the logistics and supply chain research communities. Thus, the objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive review of the trends and the current status of big data analytics (BDA) in the logistics and supply chain research communities. An elaborate examination was performed by analyzing the big data papers published in logistics and supply chain journals. The results have uncovered three things: the changing roles of BDA; some daunting challenges of implementing big data analytics, along with its recommended solutions; and the promising future of logistics and supply chains. All the findings would be helpful for creating a good research design and for implementing big data analytics (BDA) in the related fields.

    Profit allocation is the main critical problem in the supply chain. In agro-industry supply chain, establishing a fair and reasonable profit allocation has been more challenging due to the influence of uncertain factors. Cooperative game theory with the Shapley value has an opportunity to solve this problem given its appropriateness for the key goals of the supply chain. Fuzzy Shapley value was developed to accommodate uncertain stakeholders’ payoff. In addition, uncertain risk and value added were considered for a reasonable profit allocation. This model succeeded in a case study of finding a fair profit allocation in the sugarcane agro-industry supply chain taking into account uncertain risk and value added. The model validation showed that sugarcane farmers, mills, and distributors achieved 35.38%, 30.11%, and 34.51% of profit share, respectively. Stakeholders achieved their profit share based on their marginal contribution, risk potential, and value-added contribution, which may increase supply chain stability.

    Lean manufacturing is essential for any company to remain competitive in the global business market. Companies in Singapore’s shipbuilding industry encountering fierce competition from overseas shipyards that have lower operating costs have now started to explore lean manufacturing in an attempt to lower their costs and improve the level of manufacturing quality while continuing to deliver high value to customers. Despite the importance of lean manufacturing to the shipping industry, few organizations in Singapore have succeeded in lean implementation. Thus, this study tries to explain the barriers to lean manufacturing as well as provide clarity and guidance to the companies aiming to adopt this practice to strengthen the probability of their success in its implementation.

    With the looming possibility of another recession, firms are wondering if their supply chain will be ready. This research helps firms understand the impacts of environmental and socially responsible activities on the financial performance of firms before and after the 2008 recession at different stages of the supply chain that includes four industries: Retail, Wholesale, Manufacturing, and Transportation. We found that the financial impacts of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities on supply chain firms have changed since the financial crisis in 2008 and that only in the retail industry both positive environmental and socially responsible activities have consistent positive impacts on the companies' profitability. The impacts of positive activities are mixed for the other supply chain industries. The negative environmental activities consistently have negative financial impacts on companies across all supply chain industries. In the transportation industry, negative social activities are consistently associated with positive financial impacts.

    Rush orders are characterised by time constraints and organisational priority. They are handled by the supplier with the aim of meeting customer requirements in as limited a timeframe as possible. Rather than focusing on rush orders as a deterministic planning problem, this paper takes an inter-organisational perspective that highlights the complex networked interactions between the supplier and the customers. In this single case study of an advanced sanitary product supplier, rush orders involve process prioritisation concerning both: (i) supplies of in-stock parts that are delivered with pre-set time objectives; and (ii) parts not in stock that must be quickly fabricated. This supply process is highly emergent, in that unexpected events or properties occur. This study considers the difficulties of determining and dealing with root causes, unexpected effects, and interventive solutions for rush orders. This operational level of analysis provides a foundation for advocating the application of complex systems thinking to solve or at least significantly mitigate the problem of rush orders. It also contributes to and advances further research on this subject.

    In the past few decades, supply chain management operations have increased manifold and much attention has been devoted to the evolution of supply chain management in the scientific literature. This has led to accommodating newer strategies and developments in technology. Channel partners are exploring newer methods that deliver accurate information in real time to have efficient flow within the supply chain. Existing processes and operations handled by channel partners in cement industry are constrained by time, location and lack of any technology for accessing and coordinating any information. The focus of this paper is the outbound supply chain in cement industry where complexity and cost of inventory management, compliance requirements, and managing warehouse are the biggest challenge. The success of the supply chain depends on coordination, communication, and collaboration among the channel partners. Visibility in supply chain will certainly enhance tracking, timely delivery, improved decision making leading to improved customer satisfaction. Literature explores the digital trends in supply chain management affect the overall business model. From sensors to big data, a number of technologies drive the business trend across globe. The research paper looks at how the channel partners can use the technology and smart devices closely within their day to day activities associated with their processes which could connect all channel partners continuously, and have improved visibility in the supply chain. The research has done an extensive literature review as well as primary research to explore the role of existing technology in the outbound supply chain of cement industry. The study further explores that how technology can act as an enabler and can be benefited in many ways for channel partners.
