An evaluation of value-transfer within a modular supply chain
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper explores the impact that modularization is having on the structure of supply chains in general and on the role of rst-tier suppliers in particular. Two concepts are presented to illustrate rstly the need to rede ne the term ‘ rst-tier’ supplier and secondly to determine how and why value can be transferred within a modular supply chain. The rst concept, the ‘continuum of rst-tier suppliers’, contends that only certain ‘ rst-tier’ suppliers will be able to compete within a modular environment, whilst the second concept, ‘value-added second tier’ examines the role (in many cases, the enlarged role) that second-tier suppliers are likely to play within a modular landscape.

متن کاملPerformance evaluation of efficiency change and productivity growth in Supply Chain Management
The performance of a supply chain can be evaluated in either a cross-sectional or a time series manner, and data envelopment analysis is a useful method for both types of evaluation. In this paper we develop an index and indicator of productivity change that can be used with radial and non-radial models for supply chain malmquist index. The supply chain malmquist productivity index (SCMPI) can ...
