    Recently in supply management research, the power theme has gained growing interest. The analysis of power in the context of dyadic relationship between a buyer and supplier has been criticized for having a limited viewpoint because it fails to explain multiple interactions. Power is a socially embedded phenomenon and, therefore, the transactions and relationships included in supply networks should also be taken under scrutiny. Thus, the aim of this study is to analyze the impact of network effects and the influence of power on the nature of collaboration between buyers and suppliers within a supply network. The case study analyzes the issue in the Finnish food industry. The results show that the power relations have an influence on the nature of the relationship, and the sources of power that are based on the network effects may crucially determine the power position of the network actor and, moreover, the power relation between two actors.

    The recent global economic recession has forced many business firms to increase efficiency, cut waste and invest in innovation in order to sustain competitiveness. The purpose of this study is to explore how firms handle their returns processes, an area which can impact on competitive advantage. The research focuses on short life-cycle products. The study used case study methodology, conducting in-depth interviews with key logistics managers in four companies. The findings revealed that, although each company had different emphasis in handling product returns, three key drivers, namely information technology, knowledge sharing and relationship networks, had positive impacts on its reverse logistics capabilities and consequently on their competitive advantage.

    In this globalization era, manufacturing industries have experienced many significant changes, indicated by highly-innovated and short-aged product emerging today. This condition has forced manufacturing industries to put more consideration to their core capability, thus consequently has made outsourcing activities become an important and strategic decision. A company’s efforts in achieving competitive benefits begin with managing its suppliers. In real conditions, selecting suppliers is not an easy thing to decide, yet it needs a correct strategic way in order to get potential suppliers. Furthermore in Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturer, supplier selection is an important strategic issue for the company, because it is a long-term investment and success key to the JIT philosophy implementation. The objective of this paper is to design a framework for supplier selection in JIT manufacturing based on multivariate approach. This paper is based on a study in the largest JIT automotive manufacturer in Indonesia. The design begins by applying factor analysis to settle attributes used in the supplier selection process. Afterward, a conjoint analysis is used to find out the company’s preferences of its suppliers through the assessment of profiles, which are the combinations of attributes and levels used in the selection process. Selecting potential supplier can be established using Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) method. This method would specify company’s preferences visually in a multidimensional space, and in the end it would set the Euclidean distance for each supplier compared to the ideal point. Eventually, this perception map would help the company in choosing suppliers which are located within their ideal point.

    The purpose of the paper is the elicitation of customers’ perception information regarding consumer goods within different levels of accuracy. In the industry for consumer goods many efforts are carried out for the elicitation of customer information, but a systematic preparation and distribution of the gathered information is missing. Information with different level of accuracy circulates within a company but is not centralized for corporate use. Based on a proposed holistic framework for objectifying customer information for supply chains’ product specifications study procedures have been developed and corresponded studies were conducted. The results show that a gradual approach objectifies customers’ perception. Products can be divided into sub-elements by identifying perception clusters and quality attributes. First correlations between customers’ judgment and characteristics of quality attributes can be shown.

    Supply chain management is a cross-function approach to manage the movement of products toward consumers. Here, we propose a supply network which considers multiple food products with time windows. The proposed model considers different customers who are serviced by one supplier. The supplier provides various products being kept in different depots. Each depot uses different types of vehicles to satisfy the orders. Initially, all depots are stationed at the designated locations. The applicability of the model is illustrated using a numerical experiment. A comprehensive sensitivity analysis is worked out to show the flexibility of the proposed mathematical model.
