“…Tseng and Lin (2011), on the other hand, proposed a framework to evaluate enterprise agility based on fuzzy ratings and fuzzy-relation weights aggregation of agility drivers, capabilities and providers (resources). More supply chain agility assessment models for commercial supply chains can be found in AlKahtani et al (2019). However, these models cannot be used directly in the humanitarian context because certain indicators may not be relevant in HSCs.…”

PurposeThe article presents an evaluation of the supply chain agility of the Indonesian humanitarian organization Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT). It discusses the flexibility, responsiveness and effectiveness of ACT's supply chain.Design/methodology/approachThe supply chain agility metrics were assessed based on interviews with representatives from ACT and the National Agency for Disaster Management (Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana [BNPB]). Recommendations were made based on the assessment results.FindingsThe findings of this study indicated that ACT's supply chain agility maturity was at level 2 or repeatable. This meant that ACT's humanitarian supply chain (HSC) had demonstrated agility only on limited occasions. ACT's supply chain agility can be improved by enhancing the flexibility component.Practical implicationsThe study shows how to assess the supply chain agility of a humanitarian organization and identify the components/capabilities of agility that need improvement. The same assessment can be conducted by other humanitarian organizations to enhance their supply chain agility to improve their emergency response in the event of a disaster.Originality/valueThe study provides insights into the supply chain agility of a locally based humanitarian organization in an emerging country, which is rarely discussed in the literature.

“…The main objective of all these factors is to foster efficiency and performance of supply chain in different aspects. Additionally, researchers have neglected to highlight the use of information technologies in the assessment of agile supply chains and its effect on manufacturing strategies (Alkahtani et al, 2018). According to literature review, lack of case studies and empirical research continue to put the companies behind in terms of coming forward to implement various IT for achieving an integrated SCM (Gunasekaran et al, 2004) at the same time research in Iranian industry has been so limited in the field of supply chain agility, because agility is still an unfamiliar word within some industries in Iran; consequently, researches have not focused on the effect of IT on supply chain integration and agility simultaneously and finally on SCP.…”

In recent decades, companies have been trying to use various methods and means to meet customer's needs quickly in order to survive in competitive market and gain more profit. To reach this purpose, information technology has acted as an enabler in different parts of the supply chain and companies. Although there is a wide range of researches investigating the role of IT on supply chain performance (SCP), the literature review has had many gaps. The contribution of this work in comparison with previous models is the impact of studies simultaneously: 1) IT integration; 2) agility and integration on the performance which has not studied until now. This study proposed a new conceptual model to analyse the direct and indirect effect of these items on each other. In addition, a discussion about integrity and agility of the supply chain is a new issue in the Iranian market.

“…So, the number of experts at the case organization were surveyed to identify agility-capabilities, agility-enablers, and attributes. In addition, we referred to the literature that is related to the evaluation of supply-chain agility [27], and a comprehensive conceptual model is proposed (refer to Figure 1). The conceptual model is divided into three interrelated levels.…”

“…In order to answer these questions, a lot of knowledge is required in what you want to measure, how you will measure it and how you will read and assess the results. To deal with such decisions, an approach in context to Saudi Arabia is proposed after analysing the different factors which are vital to achieve supply-chain agility [27]. Here in the paper, the objective is to propose an assessment approach to quantify the relationships between supply-chain agility capabilities, enablers, and attributes to determine the needed supply-chain agilitylevel.…”

Worldwide business organizations realize that agility of sustainable supply-chain is a requisite need for survival in a dynamic, competitive, and unpredictable market. The contribution of this research is to explore and evaluate sustainable agility in supply chains for a dairy manufacturing organization located in Saudi Arabia. Other contributions of this research are to update the literature about the different factors contributing to achieve agile supply chain, propose conceptual framework and assessment approach incorporating the relationships between sustainable supply-chain capabilities, enablers, and attributes, and shortlisting the agility barriers and how they would facilitate manufacturing organizations’ performance. The paper presents supply chain agility evaluation approach, which covers identification of agile supply-chain capabilities and drivers. It also presents a conceptual model and a framework to define agility level and barriers within the supply-chain. In the paper, fuzzy logic approach is preferred, owing to its capability to incorporate and deal with problems involving impreciseness and vagueness phenomena. Threshold-value in this study for the case organization is set to 0.24829. The outcome of the adopted approach indicates that 21 attributes performed below the threshold value; these attributes are further categorized as agility barriers. These are the barriers within their supply chain that impact the agility-level. For the case organization, the foremost priority is to enhance maintainability and serviceability to make it flexible and inexpensive to establish an agile responsive supply chain. At the same time, it should have priority to focus on development and integration of their core competencies to deal with cross-functional and cross-enterprise issues in supply chain. For the case organization, the agility level was found “very agile,” although it is below the “extremely agile.” Thus, a study was developed to understand the behaviour of the supply chain agility and assess/evaluate it to support decision makers in order to develop a strategic solution for different organizational barriers.
