Sensitivity analysis of the scor metrics selected for the measurement of the management of a fruit-growing supply chain

Abstract

This paper presents the sensitivity analysis performed on metrics of the SCOR model in order to measure the management of a fruitgrowing supply chain of small producers. The methodology is presented in a detailed manner for the selection of metrics by using a multicriteria method such as the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The pertinence of the results is analyzed by taking into account three possible scenarios of assessment by the experts. The results of the sensitivity analysis show a certain degree of soundness in the solution given that the changes in the identified metrics within the three scenarios are minimal. Finally, a path for implementing of such metrics from the SCOR model is offered as a proposal to improve the administration and as a usage alternative of the SCOR model for these chains.Keywords: Supply chain; scor; management; multi-criteria analysis; analytic hierarchy process.Análisis de sensibilidad de métricas scor seleccionadas para medir la gestión de una cadena de abastecimiento frutícola ResumenEn este artículo se muestra el análisis de sensibilidad sobre métricas seleccionadas del modelo SCOR, para la medición de la gestión en una cadena de abastecimiento frutícola de pequeños productores. Se presenta de manera detallada la metodología para la selección de las métricas con el uso de un método multi-crietrio como el Proceso analítico jerárquico (AHP). Se evalúa la pertinencia de los resultados, considerando tres escenarios posibles de valoración por parte de expertos. Los resultados del análisis de sensibilidad arrojan cierto grado de robustez en la solución, dado que los cambios en las métricas identificadas en los tres escenarios son mínimos. Finalmente se ofrece un derrotero para la implementación de las métricas del modelo SCOR, como una propuesta de mejoramiento de la gestión y una alternativa de uso del modelo SCOR en este tipo de cadenas.

Integration maturity analysis for a small citrus producers' supply chain in a developing country

“…Culture and attitude, and acceptability, are pointed out as crucial factors in the implementation of collaborative strategies in the supply chain (Simatupang and Sridharan, 2002; González-Feliu and Morana, 2011), which acquire a special importance in collaboration horizontal. In addition, (Peña and Rivera, 2017) in their supply chain management analysis for small farmers using supply chain operations reference (SCOR) model, found important weaknesses at the planning, operation and information level that greatly affect their management, emphasizing in need of intervention. This situation was also addressed by (Kamble et al , 2020) who insist on the need to intervene in the visibility processes and use of available resources to make these small producer chains sustainable.…”

“…It starts from the background previously discussed throughout this document. Key aspects related to no coordination in strategic, tactical and operational processes in the supply chain are discussed widely in (Orozco et al , 2019; Peña et al , 2020; Peña and Rivera, 2017; Acosta et al , 2018).…”

“…Also, variables definition were done according with guidelines shown in (Gutierrez et al ., 2018). The valuation scale assignment is also based on information collected by the authors of this document, about small fruit producers supply chain, which was carried out from consultations to primary sources (for more information consult (Peña and Rivera, 2017) and secondary sources that discuss widely the operation of these chains (for more information consult Aksoy and Beghin, 2005; Amusquibar, 2006; Cabezas, 2016; Camargo, 2016; ECLAC et al , 2015; Christen and Anderson, 2013; FAO, 2013, 2015a, b; UN, 2014, 2017).…”
