“…The mediation effect of operational performance also implies that the inclusion of appropriate mediators may help to better explain the impact of SCC on financial performance. The present study provides some interpretations with regard to the inconsistent direct effects of SCC on financial performance [2,83,86,87] and consistent with the indirect effects of SCC on financial performance [23,24,88].…”

“…Nowadays many scholars have observed the impact of supply chain management systems on supply chain capability and firm performance [8,21]. Furthermore, several studies [13,83,84] have identified supply chain capability benefits which include operational performance and financial performance of an organization. It is expected to improve organizational performance mainly through innovation frequently, time to market, reduced lead time, delivery reliability, short delivery time and customer service.…”

To be sustainable and growing amongst uncertain environments and intensive global competition, supply-chain network leaders have established supply-chain management systems (SCMS) to leverage the resources and knowledge of their partners to achieve greater supply-chain capabilities (SCC) to respond to market changes and complexity. Although several studies have investigated the benefits to network leaders from these systems in various industries, little attention has been paid to the delivery of substantial benefits and advantages to its partners. Based on information technology (IT) applications and SCC literature, this paper proposes a model relating partners use of SCMS to benefits. Data from 168 partners using an SCMS implemented by a leading bicycle supply chain in Taiwan to test the hypotheses that SCC and operational performance has a mediating role linking SCMS use in order to affect a partner's performance. The results indicate that SCMS implementation has a significant impact on SCC, which in turn create a significant positive effect on operational (sustainable) performance, ultimately leading to improved growth rate and profitability in partners. Another interesting finding of the research is that SCMS cannot directly affect financial performance. In addition, from sustainable performance aspects, it is revealed that IT enables supply chain management (SCM) to achieve environmental value through information sharing (up and down), process integration (vertical and horizontal) and automation (i.e., planning, operation and control). This finding highlights the importance for maximizing benefits and sustainability for the whole supply-chain partners, the IT implementation must be integrated with the sustainable development goals and inserted in the eco-operation supply-chain platform process. The results also contribute to the debate in prior studies by disclosing why so many partners could not find to gain benefit from these IT implementations. Furthermore, this study represents the first attempt to examine how partners benefit from IT use in SCC for traditional industry.

“…Despite the difficulties to implement such action, the advantage is the fact investing in new equipment is supposed to be inviable for the familiar companies, which will be at risk of not survive on the market. This cooperative action can be classified as a supply chain collaboration, as recently seen in the Taiwan networking communication industry [16].…”

Over the decades, companies have been taking cooperative actions in organized groups (clusters). They seek to gain mutual benefits, as they can be more innovative and create more jobs. This exploratory study investigated the 35-company cluster of Aluminium utensils and products (CAUP), located in Latin America, in Brazil. First, through a qualitative approach, the cluster coordinator explained the upcoming challenges and difficulties. The research suggests the potential implementation of a both lean and green strategy for the new product development processes (NPD) of the studied cluster. Secondly, a case study is presented investigating how an SME of the CAUP addressed the NPD maturity level. The maturity analysis suggests that the NPD processes need to evolve. This paper has shown that there is potential for the implementation of lean and green practices. The wide variety of products urges for more efficient portfolio management in this cluster.
