International audienceThis paper examines well-accepted methodologies and rationales used to assert the presence/absence of trade-offs and compatibilities between manufacturing capabilities, and comparisons are made with respect to more recent theoretical developments. By means of a detailed analysis of a representative framework, important limitations and inconsistencies are identified. The proposal for the existence of zero-sum and frontier trade-offs intends to resolve some of those issues. Generally speaking, zero-sum trade-offs are identified by a statistically significant and negative correlation. On the other hand, frontier trade-offs are predicted to be observed after some level of compatibility between different capabilities is achieved. This means that, apart from widely-used probabilistic methodologies such as linear regression/correlation analysis, subsequent deterministic approaches and rationales need to be applied in order to acknowledge the potential existence of frontier tradeoffs. These and other implications are discussed in light of previous studies, and suggestions for future research are offered

“…The firm with more product variety will have more customers, sale and profits (Mapes et al, 1997). High variety of processed farm product provides an advantage to firms to capture an untouched market through over all care of customer's different needs.…”

The main objective of this study was to develop a set of measures, evaluate their importance and effect in cold supply chain performance. This investigation reviewed previous research works on all the stages of the farm product supply chain. Based on farm product supply chain, 4 measures with 31 metrics were identified and developed to measure the cold supply chain performance. A survey was organized to establish the importance and the effect of identified measures. The 5 point Likert scale questionnaire was distributed among SC academics and practitioners. The observed finding infers that the measurement instrument was substantiating for evaluating cold supply chain performance in farm industry. The new developed metrics will help firms improve the visibility of supply among partners and in better decision making. The investigation was enfolded up through the plan of direction intended for future study.Growing Science Ltd. All rights reserved. 5

“…According to Skinner, improvements in one goal lead to a decline in other factors (Skinner 1969, Skinner 1974. Subsequent tradeoff studies examine the need for plants to prioritise their strategic objectives and corresponding resources (Da Silveira 2005, Da Silveira and Slack 2001, Mapes et al 1997, Schroeder and Pesch 1994. In contrast, advocates of cumulative competitive priorities claim that global competition leads to increased pressure to compete on multiple priorities (Boyer and Lewis 2002).…”

Trade-offs are not exogenous

Trade-offs between competitive priorities are often seen as exogenous -managers accept them as a given downside while simultaneously addressing multiple competitive priorities. However, some companies seem to face fewer trade-offs than others. The question is how companies reduce their tradeoffs to successfully compete on multiple competitive priorities simultaneously. We address this question by theorising that bundles of action programmes are needed to reduce trade-offs between competitive priorities. We examine four Swiss manufacturing plants and show how the selection of action programmes influences the simultaneous competition on multiple competitive priorities. We show that successful competition on multiple competitive priorities does not happen by accident but is achieved by aligning competitive priorities, action programmes, infrastructural/structural changes and contextual factors.
