    A fundamental challenge in the resource-based view (RBV) research is the identification of strategic resources and capabilities, whether they lie within a firm’s boundaries or in its supply chain. RBV theorists regarded the identification of the strategic resources as the first step in the analysis of the resources, followed by development/maintenance of the resources and finally their deployment. Some authors developed frameworks for the analysis of strategic resources within a firm’s boundaries. Many believe that a firm’s strategic resources and capabilities are not limited to the firm’s boundaries, extend its network. In this paper, we classify supply chain resources and capabilities into two categories: internal resources and capabilities (based on RBV) and relational ones (based on RV). We then develop a framework for the identification and analysis of these resources and capabilities and apply it to the supply chain resources and capabilities of two automobile manufacturing companies in Iran.

  3. Multi Attribute Decision Making Based on Fuzzy Logic and Its Application in Supplier Selection Problem

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm0120077
    It is a complex situation when a decision is to be made under uncertainty. The uncertain information has been treated mathematically in the literature from different angles. This paper presents a novel method towards this problem based on fuzzy sets. The approach is constituted using distance between triangular fuzzy numbers. The proposed approach allows decision makers (DMs) to evaluate and improve supplier selection decisions in an uncertain situation. Finally, a numerical example on the supplier selection problem is proposed to illustrate an application of the methodology.

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm0120078
    In make-to-order (MTO) system, deciding which order to accept and which to reject from an incoming orders is one of the most challenging tasks for the decision maker (DM) of manufacturer. When the new order arrives, order acceptance (OA) decision is affected by two kinds of satisfaction level. One is the satisfaction level expected by the DM. This level indicates the acceptance threshold of DM. Next is the satisfaction level that will be generated by the order. In this paper, we propose a method that reflects OA decision as interplay between the DM’s acceptance threshold and satisfaction level generated by the order. We investigate this less researched topic in a job shop environment with uncertain scenario. In the proposed method, the DM’s acceptance threshold is shown to be the function of workload in the production system and their aggressiveness. While, we consider four criteria to access the satisfaction level generated by the order. They are reputation in terms of delivery reliability, profit both at present and in the future and the utilization of available capacity. We present a numerical analysis by considering various parameters under two different cases of due dates to demonstrate the working mechanism and effectiveness of proposed method.

  5. A Note on Non-linear Profit-Maximization Entropic Order Quantity (EnOQ) Model for Deteriorating Items with Stock Dependent Demand Rate

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm0120079
    A new type of non-linear profit maximization replenishment policy is suggested in an entropy order quantity model for deteriorating items with stock dependent demand rate. This model represents an appropriate combination of two component demand with entropy cost, particularly over a finite time horizon. Its main aim lies in the need for an entropic cost of the cycle time is a key feature of specific perishable products like fruits, vegetables, food stuffs, fishes etc. To handle this multiplicity of objectives in a pragmatic approach, entropic ordering quantity model with two component demand of perishable items to optimize its payoff is proposed. Two non-linear profit-maximization models are formulated by considering the effects of entropy cost and without entropy cost. Finally to clearly illustrate the non-linear profit maximization EnOQ model a numerical example and the sensitivity analysis are also conducted in the optimal solutions when different parameters are changed. It is considered that if the entropy is allowed in the model, the profit is approximately less in comparison to the non entropic model but the order quantity is more in EnOQ model. In addition, a comparative analysis between the profit-maximization models is conducted.

  6. A Framework for Healthcare Supply Chain Improvement in Thailand

    Abstract Full PDF Cite DOI: 10.31387/oscm0120080
    Logistics and supply chain management has become a competitive tool in many industries in Thailand. Supply chain perspective has led the industry to see through the process integration from upstream to downstream. In Thailand, healthcare supply chain has only been introduced to hospitals. Operations and co-ordinations across players have still been neglected. The supply chain concept for this industry is in a very early stage. It is evidenced that healthcare industry in Thailand still suffers from inefficient process, inconsistent and inaccurate data information. Lacking of transparency throughout the chain makes it difficult to track and trace patient data and product data. Furthermore, each player in healthcare supply chain, manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, healthcare providers, tends to develop its own data communicating language. Therefore it discourages the player to communicate and share information with its partner. The lack of integrity in supply chain has become a facilitating factor for the growing problem of counterfeiting. It is undeniable that an influx of counterfeit drug affects both public and private sectors negatively. This problem not only leads to economic loss but also has a negative impact on patient safety in Thailand. The purpose of this paper is to review problems that occurred in healthcare area regarding to supply chain management and identify challenges. It is found that standardised drug coding, operational re-engineering and implementing information technology are promising performance improvement in healthcare supply chain. The paper develops a framework for healthcare supply chain improvement in Thailand. It urges both policy makers and implementers to realize national health problems as well as identify rooms for further research and improvement.
