Companies-manufacturers have to deal with demand and supply uncertainties. They need to adjust\nto changing customer needs and to be able to pass new quality requirements through the\nsupply chain. Even if suppliers� performance is satisfactory in stable environment, they can behave\ndifferently in dynamic situation. Some suppliers can fail to meet new quality requirements or even\nquit the supply chain. Underestimation of suppliers� motivation can lead to loss of sales, customers,\nand can face the situation of need of new supplier search. The goal of this paper is to highlight an\nimportance of consideration of informal factors in relationships with supply chain and to discuss a\nmethodology of approach to predict high risk suppliers for changing quality requirements....
Risks faced by the trading firms cannot be eliminated completely due to the reasons arising from\nthe structure of international trade. Therefore, minimizing risk and managing it well lay down the\nfoundation of modern risk approach. The most important element of risk management is to define\nand categorize the risk. This study aims at perceptual description of risk within the scope of the\nfirms exporting agricultural products in Turkey. The main purpose is to classify the risks faced by\nthese firms. The study uses factor analysis to determine the behavioral and perceptional dimensions\nof the firms; and also uses multidimensional scaling in positioning the firms� risk perceptions.\nThe findings show that seven dimensions namely political, economic, trade, financial, food\nsafety and goods delivery formulate risk perception of the firms. Multi-dimensional scaling technique\nmaps the perception under two dimensions. The results of the research can be helpful for\nthe managers of agri-products export firms in designing risk management strategies....
With the booming of e-commerce business and high requirement of customer, the operation mode\nof e-commerce distribution center is changing. Automation equipment cannot be utilized fully due\nto the nature fact of electricity business, which can be described as small batch and high frequency.\nIn this article, we put forward a new electronic commerce operation mode which is named as e commerce\nlogistics distribution center storage integration system. This system is based on the\nwork of analyzing the shortcomings of current electricity distribution center business model and\ndrawing lessons from foreign advanced model. This model not only reduces human labor, but also\nuses labor resources reasonably. By focusing on the end link differentiation, we make this mode\nkeep the same pace with business mode reform....
The article identifies the essential dimensions in relation to outsourced logistic management,\nthrough a study of the outsourcing process of a large Brazilian wholesaler distributor�s logistic activities.\nThe author has developed a management tool able to guide and direct the outsourcing\noperators of integrated logistic services so as to allow them to organize their management system.\nThe author proposes a logistic architecture based on models which will facilitate the managerial\nwork and transform the logistic system into a strategic skill, thus leveraging its ability to compete\nin the market. This idea is focused on the client, and is capable of integrating and managing all the\ninterface elements of the logistic system, connecting and joining all of them in order to perform\nmore organized and structured logistic activities. Therefore, the logistic architecture based on\nmodels represents the nature and structure of a logistic system as well as determines the way for\nit to operate....
With the great development of China e-commerce industry, more and more business transaction is\nmoved from offline to online. Generated by a plenty series of transactions online, multi-dimensional\nuser data are used to promote the evolution of the Internet finance mode. In the era of ââ?¬Å?internet+ââ?¬Â,\nall industries are going through changes. The Internet process of supply chain finance\nalso accelerates. Based on the different characteristics on participants, source of different evolution\npaths, this paper gives an overall classification of supply chain finance under the background\nof internet, which includes supply chain finance ââ?¬Å?1 + Nââ?¬Â mode dominated by commercial banks,\nsupply chain finance web 2.0, core enterprise and logistic companyââ?¬â?¢s extensive in supply chain\nfinance. Finally, we analyze the characteristic of the different models and summarize the operational\nmechanism and development trend in the future....
Due to the illiquidity of inventories pledged, the essential of price risk management of supply\nchain finance is to long-term price risk measure. Long memory in volatility, which attests a slower\nthan exponential decay in the autocorrelation function of standard proxies of volatility, yields an\nadditional improvement in specification of multi-period volatility models and further impact on\nthe term structure of risk. Thus, long memory is indispensable to model and measure long-term\nrisk. This paper sheds new light on the impact of the existence and persistence of long memory in\nvolatility on inventory portfolio optimization. Firstly, we investigate the existence of long memory\nin volatility of the inventory returns, and examine the impact of long memory on the modeling and\nforecasting of multi-period volatility, the dependence structure between inventory returns and\nportfolio optimization. Secondly, we further explore the impact of the persistence of long memory\nin volatility on the efficient frontier of inventory portfolio via a data generation process with different\nlong memory parameter in the FIGARCH model. The extensive Monte Carlo evidence reveals\nthat both GARCH and IGARCH models without accounting for long memory will misestimate the\nactual long-term risk of the inventory portfolio and further bias the efficient frontier; besides,\nthrough A sensitive analysis of long memory parameter d, it is proved that the portfolio with\nhigher long memory parameter possesses higher expected return and lower risk level. In conclusion,\nbanks and other participants will benefit from the long memory taken into the long-term\nprice risk measure and portfolio optimization in supply chain finance....
A century (1890s to 1990s) of urban development planning and management in Tanzania has witnessed,\namong other things, a growing demand for planned and serviced land in urban areas. In\nresponse, the planning machinery has attempted to reduce the chronic gap between demand and\nsupply of planned land, albait in vain. The methodology adopted involved a review of secondary data\nsources, interviews and analysis. The findings of this research present a multidimensionally reciprocating\nrole of Private Public Partnerships (PPP) in the delivery of planned and serviced land in\nTanzania. Taking the role of Private Public Partnerships into account, effective implementation of\nurban development planning and management proposals is alternatively possible using resources\namalgamated through workable Public Private Partnerships....
