“…Capacity constraints in supply chains arise frequently and cause significant economic loss through associated delivery delays/short supply to customers (Chopra and Sodhi, 2004;Wagner and Bode, 2008). They are also difficult to avoid given that knowledge of echelon capacities is dispersed across the supply chain (Norrman and Jansson, 2004), and market demand and operations failures that cause capacity constraints are unpredictable in nature.…”

Purpose -The ability to detect disturbances quickly as they arise in a supply chain helps to manage them efficiently and effectively. This paper is aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of automatically, and therefore quickly detecting a specific disturbance, which is constrained capacity at a supply chain echelon.Design/Methodology/approach -Different supply chain echelons of a simulated four echelon supply chain were individually capacity constrained to assess their impacts on the profiles of system variables, and to develop a signature that related the profiles to the echelon location of the capacity constraint. A review of disturbance detection techniques across various domains formed the basis for considering the signature based technique.Findings -The signature for detecting a capacity constrained echelon was found to be based on cluster profiles of shipping and net inventory variables for that echelon as well as other echelons in a supply chain, where the variables are represented as spectra.Originality/value-Detection of disturbances in a supply chain including that of constrained capacity at an echelon has seen limited research where this study makes a contribution.

“…Wright (2013) states that robustness to supply chain disruptions is considered to be a key priority in this ever-changing business environment. Having material on hand or inventory means carrying costs composed of the cost of capital, stores, personnel salaries, facilities, field delivery, obsolescence of inventory, information systems, utilities, insurance, security, and so on (Wagner & Bode, 2008;Narasimhan & Talluri, 2009).…”

In an era characterised by a volatile economy, intense competition, and rising energy and material costs, improving operational efficiency has become a necessity for margin purposes and long-term business success. This research study attempts to develop a model for process operations variability reduction that integrates the fundamental drivers, the intermediate measures and the four traditional competitive capabilities: quality, cost, delivery reliability and speed of delivery. In addition, it highlights the precise mechanisms in plants that lead to multiple competitive capabilities development. The concept of a routine-based approach to capabilities development provides a nexus between the earlier actions by the organisation and competitive advantage. Using longitudinal data from the Manufacturing Circle of South Africa, a statistical analysis was conducted to support the model, and path analysis models were developed which confirmed that the performance frontier is really a surface that spans many different dimensions. It is observed that the model clearly outlines pathways to process operations variability reduction through better execution of the routines concerned with maintaining the performance by current processes, improving existing processes, and transforming or changing to new processes.

“…An example of a contemporary aspect that could have tremendous impact on the long term vulnerability of supply chain systems are the environmental impact and related sustainability of the systems, e.g., as denoted through new carbon footprint measures (Asbjørnslett, 2008). Vulnerability of modern supply chains can subsequently result in supply chain disruptions and detrimental effects for firms (Hendricks and Singhal, 2005;Wagner and Bode, 2008). Now the question which appears is how much risk one is ready to abide to improve efficiency of supply chain, in proportion to increased vulnerability?…”

To inflate monetary earnings, many organisations execute initiatives such as comprehensive reach of supply chains, amplified outsourcing, shorter product life cycles, reduced buffers and centralisation. These initiatives are effective in stable surroundings, but they could make supply chain vulnerable to various types of disruptions. The main thrust of this research is, to propose a conceptual model for endowing deeper knowledge of how uncertainty from suppliers, customers and existing supply chain structure amplifies vulnerability and consequently increases supply chain risk exposure. In accordance with fitness landscape theory, this paper accepts a complex systems perspective to view supply chain organisations and understand their capabilities. It focuses on diminishing the vulnerability of supply chain systems and the ability to design systems to be more resilient to change.Keywords: supply chain management; supply chain resilience; vulnerability; supply chain risk.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Soni, U., Jain, V. and Salmador, M.P.
