“…There are two elements to achieving supply chain transparency: visibility and disclosure (Bouchery et al, 2017). Visibility is the process of actively identifying and collecting data from suppliers, whereas disclosure is how this information is communicated both internally and externally as required.…”

PurposeCurrently there is no universally accepted approach to supply chain risk management and assurance. To begin to shed more light on the practical operational challenges presented when considering supply chain risk mitigation through the sharing of information, this paper discusses the results of an empirical study conducted with manufacturing supply chain professionals. The study examines state-of-the-art challenges to managing risk in today's supply chains by reporting on data collected in 2021.Design/methodology/approachTo develop a rich picture of the challenges of information sharing in multi-tier supply chains, the authors adopted a qualitative research design. The authors conducted 14 interviews with supply chain professionals and ran two focus groups that were industry specific: one focused on the nuclear industry and the other on automotive.FindingsThe study identifies contemporary practical challenges to information sharing in supply chains – specifically challenges related to data quality and the acceptance of sub-optimal normative supply chain practices, which have consequences for supplier assurance fatigue and supply chain transparency.Originality/valueThe topical and contemporary study shows how an acceptance of the normative practices of a supply chain can have a cumulative effect on the likelihood of supply chain disruption due to shortcomings in approaches to information sharing. The notion of the acceptance of the status quo in this context has received limited research attention, and hence offers an extension to current discourse on supply chain risk and resilience.

Evaluation and control of inventory distribution systems with quantity based shipment consolidation

Joint consideration of inventory and shipment decisions is an important aspect of obtaining economically and environmentally sustainable distribution systems. We consider this issue in the context of a one-warehouse-multiple-retailer inventory system with quantity-based shipment consolidation to groups of nonidentical retailers facing Poisson demand. The system is centralized, with free information sharing and access to real-time point of sale data. Thus, demand information at the retailers is immediately conveyed upstream to the warehouse without any fixed ordering costs. However, fixed costs associated with handling and transporting goods from the warehouse to the retailers are reflected in the shipment consolidation policy. Stock replenishments at the warehouse are made from an outside supplier/manufacturer according to an (R, Q) policy. For this system, we derive an exact recursive method for determining the inventory level distributions at the retailers. This allows us to evaluate the expected inventory and shipment costs, fill-rates, and transport emissions for the entire system. We also show how to optimize the system by providing bounds on the optimal shipment quantities and the warehouse reorder level.

Summary Within industrial ecology, there is a substantial community focusing on life cycle assessment (LCA) and corresponding tools and methods. Within the field of supply chain management, an increasing community is converging around sustainable supply chains. These two communities study the same underlying systems, but bring different perspectives to bear. We review seven issues that arise at this intersection of LCA and supply chain management, with the aim of illustrating how both communities can enrich each other by closer interaction. We conclude with some suggestions for how the two communities can further collaborate.
