Goal: This study investigates the impact of Supply Chain Environmental Uncertainty (SCEU) on competitive advantage and operational performance in manufacturing companies. The mediating role of competitive advantage and the moderating role of supply chain environmental uncertainty in the relationship between competitive advantage and operational performance were examined. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: This paper used quantitative approach to confirm the conceptual model. Data was collected through questionnaires from directors/operational managers in 121 large and medium-scale manufacturing companies in Southeast Sulawesi Indonesia. The analysis employs Generalized Structured Component Analysis (GSCA) to test the direct, mediating, and moderating effects of supply chain environmental uncertainty. Results: The findings demonstrate a significant positive influence of supply chain environmental uncertainty on competitive advantage and operational performance. However, competitive advantage does not significantly affect operational performance. The study reveals that competitive advantage is perfect mediator between supply chain environmental uncertainty and operational performance, while supply chain environmental uncertainty is a moderating predictor between competitive advantage and operational performance. Practical Implications: The research has implications for manufacturing company managers adapting to supply chain environmental uncertainty through supplier, customer, and technology considerations. It emphasizes the importance of adapting to supply chain environmental uncertainty to enhancing competitive advantage and operational performance in the manufacturing industry. Efforts to improve operational performance and strategically integrate competitive advantage should consider the business environment, including suppliers, customers, and technology. Limitations: This research is limited to large and medium-scale manufacturing industries, hindering generalization to other industries, particularly small-scale ones. Additionally, researchers can consider additional contextual factors such as supply chain integration, supply chain agility, and total quality management. Originality/Value: This study expands the theoretical framework of supply chain environmental uncertainty, competitive advantage, and operational performance through empirical testing of a theoretical model. The findings support the proposed model's validity and highlight the mediation role of competitive advantage and supply chain environmental uncertainty, providing a reference for future theory development and model building.

Supply Chain Environmental Uncertainty, Competitive Advantage, and Operational Performance in Manufacturing Industry

制造业供应链环境不确定性、竞争优势与运营绩效

Goal: This study presents a four-steps methodology for the definition of the weights of sustainable indicators in the Swine Supply Chain (SSC) considering the Triple Bottom-Line (TBL) perspective. Design/Methodology/Approach: The methodology proposed was based on the Bellagio principles that guide the definition of importance levels for TBL criteria. It was applied to the swine supply chain using Saaty’s scale and information obtained from managers of two agribusiness companies, adjusted by the AHP method. Results: The results showed the relevance of an appropriate definition of the preferences of decision-makers to decide on the best actions towards environmental, economic, and social sustainability. Limitations: The limitations of the proposed model are mainly its subjective nature. Despite being necessary in multi-criteria methods, it could be a limitation if more quantitative indicators are relevant or demanded. Nevertheless, the proposed methodology also provides a quantitative perspective, as a result of using the Saaty scale. Practical implications: The definition and application of importance levels within a TBL-based model can help managers to prioritize environmental, social, and/or economic dimensions under a large diversity of alternatives toward more sustainable scenarios. The AHP method used in this work is a hierarchy method, particularly appropriate for defining weights that are essentially compensatory by nature. Originality/value: The correct definition and weight of the different dimensions, sub-dimensions, and respective indicators is currently one relevant gap in the literature, limiting the design and prioritization of corrective actions in each stage of the SSC and in the different dimensions of the TBL.

Goal: The minimal inter-firm resource sharing has raised problems for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). There has been little focus on a thorough understanding of supply chain collaboration in the context of SMEs in Pakistan. This research looks into the antecedent impact of governance mechanisms and collaborative culture on supply chain collaboration (SCC), as well as the direct influence of supply chain collaboration on SMEs' performance in developing countries. Design/Methodology/Approach: The data was collected using a closed-ended questionnaire from randomly selected respondents from Pakistani SMEs. SMART PLS 3.0 software is utilized for statistical analysis. Results: The findings showed a significant positive link between SCC and the performance of small businesses. Moderation was investigated between the variables. This means that supply chain technology Implementation (as moderator) is a process that provides SMEs to improve collaboration between partners through information and advanced manufacturing technology and provide suitable solutions to achieve performance. Limitations of the investigation: It is a cross sectional study and front line managers are eliminated from the study, however they are also the key respondents of supply chain (SC) implementation. Implications: The implications of this research for SC managers and researchers involved in supply chain collaboration adoption in SMEs are important. Originality/ Value: Findings supported the concept that if the organization has a supportive culture towards supply chain collaboration adoption then SMEs will improve their performance.

Enhancing SMEs Performance through Supply Chain Collaboration and moderation of Supply Chain Technology Implementation

通过供应链协作及供应链技术实施的调节作用提升中小企业绩效

A methodology that can support the decision process for selecting an Electric Vehicle (EV) is crucial. Considering the quantity, diversity, and complexity of existing EV models, their advantages and disadvantages, and people's increasing concern for sustainability, selecting and buying a personal EV appropriate to one's needs and requirements is not a simple task. Currently, criteria such as price, consumption per 100 km, range, comfort, brand, safety, and technology can be used to analyse available EV models. In this context, the decision-making process can be supported by the Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), “a method that clearly structures and evaluates complex problems with several alternatives, conflicting criteria, and complex scenarios. The novelty of this paper is to present a hybrid MCDA approach, combining two powerful methods (AHP and PROMETHEE) into a single framework to assist EV selection by any given person who has no multicriteria knowledge. A survey was conducted to define relevant criteria for a private person selecting an EV. The approach was validated for EV selection, considering the available offer within a target value, based solely on available public data, and excluding qualitative criteria. The paper discusses a case study whereby the proposed approach, using both quantitative and qualitative criteria, assists a decision-maker in selecting an EV from a set of alternatives, validated by the decision-maker, proving the importance and relevance of supporting the decision-making process.

Goal: This paper utilizes a practice-based view (PBV) and technology-organization-sustainable framework to create and evaluate a research model. The model examines how industry 4.0 (I4.0) affects sustainable development, focusing on the mediating role of 10R advanced manufacturing capabilities. Furthermore, the study also analyzes the moderating influence of environment dynamism (ED). Sustainable development is assessed based on two key factors - financial performance (FP) and sustainable performance (SP). Design / Methodology / Approach: The data is collected by surveying upper management in the GCC manufacturing sector through questionnaires. A total of 232 responses were included in the primary analyses. Data analysis was carried out with the help of SPSS 25.0 and SmartPLS 3.2.8. The dependability and path analysis were established using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results: The results show that I4.0 increases FP, whereas the I4.0-SP relationship is statistically insignificant. However, the I4.0-SP insignificant relationship is moderated by ED. Further, ED also moderates the relationship between I4.0 and 10R advanced manufacturing capabilities, as well as 10R advanced manufacturing capabilities and sustainable development (FP and SP). The 10R capabilities partially mediate the I4.0-FP relationship, whereas the study finds full mediation for the I4.0-SP association. Research limitations: The study employed Google forms to conveniently collect data from GCC industrial senior management using a cross-section design. Originality / Value: This study has identified a business model that impacts sustainable development by integrating I4.0 technologies, ED, and 10R. The study findings have significant implications for managers and policymakers.

Impact of Industry 4.0 on firms' sustainable development in the GCC economies

GCC经济体中工业4.0对企业可持续发展的影响

Goal: Despite the increased attention to the role of supply chain collaboration on firm performance, insufficient evidence exists about the relative importance of each dimension of supply chain collaboration on manufacturing competitiveness. The purpose of this study is to examine the influence and relative importance of supply chain collaboration dimensions on manufacturing competitiveness based on resource-based theories. Design/methodology/approach: This study employs a deductive approach to derive empirical evidence from the responses of 300 officials of manufacturing firms. The PLS-SEM is used to test the significance of conceptual predictions and IPMA is used to benchmark the most important collaborative dimensions. Results: It is revealed that manufacturing firms capitalize on all supply chain collaboration dimensions. However, customer collaboration and supplier collaboration have a significant and positive direct influence while internal collaboration exhibits a complementary partial mediation effect. Customer collaboration is the most important dimension followed by internal collaboration and supplier collaboration. Limitations of the investigation: This study employed a cross-section design lacking the longitudinal effect. Nevertheless, the identification, testing and validation of the conceptual model, backed up by an extensive literature review, could assist researchers in developing meaningful comparative studies. Originality/value: The study applied PLS-SEM and IPMA to reveal the role and relative importance of supply chain collaborative dimensions on manufacturing competitiveness. Managers of manufacturing firms can emulate this knowledge within their settings and be able to compete amid increased competition and supply chain complexity.

Benchmarking supply chain collaboration dimensions with insights from resource-based theories

基于资源基础理论的供应链协作维度基准研究

Goal: The purpose of this article is to analyze how digital transformation can contribute to increasing the sustainable competitiveness of the shipbuilding industry in a developing country like Brazil. Design / Methodology / Approach: To achieve this, a conceptual model was proposed, built from a literature review and interviews with 14 experts in the naval and offshore industry. The model was then validated through structural equation modeling, considering 326 responses from professionals in the researched sector. Results: As a result, a model was developed, suggesting that to establish a Shipyard 4.0, enhancing the sustainable competitiveness of shipbuilding, it is necessary to align corporate strategic management with sustainable management of complex projects. This alignment should focus on the qualification of specialized labor to execute the entire Smart product lifecycle, encompassing intelligent design, manufacturing, assembly, and operation, all of which are integral to a Shipyard 4.0. Limitations of the investigation: Bibliography searches on the topic were limited to thematic areas such as: digital shipyard, shipbuilding, digital transformation, intelligent manufacturing, automation, management, productivity, sustainability, people, security, labor, engineering, energy, computer science, economics, mathematics. The research aimed to provide results that characterized the application of a model that integrated digital transformation into the shipbuilding industry, in the thematic areas considered in the bibliographical research. Practical implications: It is expected that this model will be applied in a shipyard as a pilot for validation through a case study, aiming to enhance the competitiveness of companies in the sector while considering the sustainable aspects associated with such endeavors. Originality / Value: In this exploratory essay, we seek the intersection of themes such as Effective Management, Smart Manufacturing, Sustainable Project and Digital Shipyard. Brazil in 2018 had around 42 shipyards as Sinaval (2018) indicates on its website, through the map of shipyards and it is believed that the research can meet future demands of the sector. It is noted that there is no digital production line in Brazil at the end of 2018, therefore the thesis proposal is innovative.
