This research aims to identify risks in RSC operations, analyze existing methods and approaches, and improve a further framework model for managing the risk of RSC for the sustainability of the agricultural food industry. Using the PRISMA protocol, data was collected from a systematic review and synthesis of 78 articles published between 2012 and 2021. The result showed that although several research have been carried out on RSC risk, there is still very little research on risk management in the agri-food industry. It also found the potential aspects for future research in managing RSC risk in the agri-food industry, include process risk by considering product damage, supply-demand uncertainty, quantity and quality product return uncertainty, transportation and technology, and financial and environmental risk. According to the literature, MILP and integration with other approaches are frequently used in decision-making to manage the risk of RSC. Exploration of future research requires developing RSC risk management in the integrated agri-food industry. Furthermore, it is important to optimize the risk management of the RSC by considering the complexity of the risk and designing the sustainability of the RSC network in the agri-food industry. Focus is presently on the Hybrid Intelligent Decision Support System (HIDSS) approach for the development of a concept is the most appropriate new concept to reduce various types of risks in the RSC of the agri-food industry.","PeriodicalId":43857,"journal":{"name":"Operations and Supply Chain Management-An International Journal","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135362906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both strategies have resulted in a divergence in business strategy orientations, resulting in a misalignment of the national target. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between SOLS 2040 and Industrial 4.0 strategies incorporating an analytic induction method, which is a systematic way of validating the correlation between both strategies. A systematic analysis revealed a positive correlation between the two visions, owing to the importance of technology in achieving the SOLS 2040 vision. The correlation between SOLS 2040 and Industry 4.0 is an important step toward developing a comprehensive framework for the Oman logistics industry that will benefit all stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":43857,"journal":{"name":"Operations and Supply Chain Management-An International Journal","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135362897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Predictive analytics comes in very handy in various fields such as finance, manufacturing, healthcare, and even supply chain. Not only in those fields, but predictive analytics is also useful in managing inventory. However, we find that there is a lack of studies focusing on the implementation of predictive analytics to predict inventory status (overstock, understock) by considering inventory level and demand forecast. This study is inspired by a real-world problem at one of the largest FMCG companies in Indonesia. With so many product types to manage, this company often faces problems of understocked and overstocked inventory. This study attempts to solve that problem by employing big data and predictive analytics approaches. The gradient boosting model is used because it is an improvement of the decision tree model. The data that are used as predictors are inventory level, inventory week cover, historical sales, and demand forecast. The target variable for classification is inventory status which is divided into three classes, namely understock, normal, and overstock. Meanwhile, the target variable for the regression model is the amount of understock/overstock. The result of the classification model has an accuracy of 0.84 for category 1 products, 0.76 for category 2 products, and 0.74 for category 3 products. While the result of the regression model is an R 2 of 0.89 for category 1 products, 0.76 for category 2 products, and 0.74 for category 3 products. The data that comes from the prediction model are visualized in a dashboard. The visualization dashboard displays the data using heatmaps and line graphs, so the information can be used for further analysis.","PeriodicalId":43857,"journal":{"name":"Operations and Supply Chain Management-An International Journal","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135465855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This effect negates the direct LP-BP effect (the so-called “total eclipse effect”). The authors analyze the individual contributions that the different SCF dimensions (sourcing flexibility; operating system flexibility, distribution flexibility and information system [IS] flexibility) make to the “total eclipse effect” between LP and BP produced by SCF. The relational resources-based view and resource orchestration theory are used to support the theoretical framework.\u0000\u0000\u0000Design/methodology/approach\u0000Covariance-based structural equations modeling (CB-SEM) is used to test the SCF LP-BP total eclipse hypothesis and four additional mediation hypotheses, one for each of the SCF dimensions.

Two other dimensions (sourcing flexibility and distribution flexibility) have partial mediation effects, so they also contribute to developing the eclipse effect, although to a lesser extent. Finally, IS flexibility is neither a full nor a partial mediation factor and does not contribute to the eclipse effect.\u0000\u0000\u0000Originality/value\u0000These findings have some important implications.

It draws on the case of the Australian Defence Manufacturing SN (ADM SN) during COVID-19 disruptions. A total of 28 interviews with senior decision makers from 17 companies, complemented by 5 interviews with the Australian Defence SC organizations and secondary data analysis, support the findings.\u0000\u0000\u0000Findings\u0000Individual organizations’ SC visibility and flexibility enabled by effective risk management and collaboration enhance the ability of the SN to anticipate and prepare for disruption. At the same time, the strength of SC relationships reduces resilience. SN disruption response velocity is enabled by inventory redundancy, process flexibility at the organizational level and visibility and collaboration at the SC level. Institutional support at the national industry level, development of value-adding capabilities and manufacturing process flexibility at the organizational level enhances the SN’s ability to re-organize. The transition from hierarchical to decentralized collaborative governance enhances SN resilience.\u0000\u0000\u0000Practical implications\u0000From a practitioner’s perspective, the findings highlight the need to embrace a broader view of SC beyond immediate tiers. Decision-makers in multinational companies must recognize the long-term impact of their procurement decisions on the supplier ecosystem. Developing local supplier capabilities rather than relying on established global SCs will pay off with future resilience. It, however, demands substantial investment and radical changes across all SC tiers. The lesson for smaller firms is not to over-rely on the existing relationships with supply partners. Although trust-based relationships and collaboration are essential, over-commitment can be counterproductive during global disruptions.
