Rapid construction method of emergency material supply chain based on shared platform covering market resources

In the early stages of emergency response, access to a robust information flow and sufficient materials is the basis for ensuring the efficient operation of the emergency material supply chain. Based on a summary of the structure and operational processes of the emergency material supply chain, this paper analyses the key elements and sources of supply chain information flow and proposes a method for integrating information flow based on shared platform. First, basic disaster information and multiscale population data are combined to determine the distribution of the affected population or shelters, and the demand assessment is completed. Then, the market material supply source information is mined, the national reserve information is integrated, and the quantity and distribution of supply sources are analysed. Finally, traffic information is obtained by calling on the real-time Amap API, the supply and demand of emergency materials are matched, and a reasonable emergency material dispatching plan is proposed. This paper considers both historical and recent cases, with case applications to the Lushan County, Ya 'an City, Sichuan Province MS7.0 earthquake; and the 2023 MW7.8 and 7.5 Turkey earthquakes, among others. The results verify that the proposed method can effectively integrate and construct the information flow of the emergency material supply chain and that the rational use of market resources can compensate for material shortages. The information flow and material flow of the emergency material supply chain can thus be maximized, indirectly reducing the losses caused by disaster emergencies.

Decentralization of information and supply chain self-organization: the resulting effect on network performance in the transitive service triads

PurposeThis study considers transitive service triads, which consist of three dyads formed by three actors: supplier, logistics service provider and customer, who remain directly linked by one or more of the upstream and downstream flows of products, information and finances. This paper aims to explore the link between information governance, decentralized information technologies and supply chain self-organization, and their resulting impact on network performance in the transitive service triads.Design/methodology/approachDrawing upon the tenets of the theory of complex adaptive systems and supply chain practice view, this paper involves an empirical investigation that uses survey data gathered from transitive service triads in the European countries. The study uses partial least squares structural equation modeling to estimate the formative-reflective hierarchical component model and test the research hypotheses.FindingsInformation governance defines how supply chain information flows are controlled, accessed and used by a focal organization and its business partners. As empirically evidenced in this study, it can be depicted as a latent construct consisting of three distinct dimensions of information custody, information ownership and right to data access. Likewise, the study also indicates that supply chain self-organization, as a second-order construct, consists of three interactive self-organization actions undertaken by specific firms participating in the triadic arrangement. Supply chain self-organization is thus produced by firms that are reciprocally interrelated and interacting, having effects on one another. Furthermore, the study also highlights that information governance creates an environment for applying decentralized information technologies, which then positively affects supply chain self-organization. Finally, the research also empirically operationalizes the construct of network performance within the transitive service triads.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the results provide several major contributions to theory and implications for practitioners, the study still demonstrates some methodological constraints. Specifically, although the study uses a relatively large research sample of 350 transitive service triads, it still focuses only on a selected group of industries and is limited to investigating solely a particular type of service triads.Originality/valueGiven the increasing interest in investigating triads, this study examines how information governance and decentralized information technologies support supply chain self-organization to yield network performance in transitive service triads.

Blockchain-Based Supply Chain Information Sharing Mechanism

This paper proposes a blockchain-based supply chain information operation method to solve the current shortage of business information sharing in the supply chain. These approaches include the idea of blockchain application to realize the sharing of supply chain information, the supply chain architecture of production enterprises based on blockchain, and the hierarchical model of supply chain information flow based on blockchain. This paper proposes the information block recording method of internal and external data sources in the supply chain, including the composition structure and the analysis of the multisource data inside and outside the supply chain. In addition, the multisource data information block recording method is also proposed. Building a blockchain-based supply chain system can improve the integration and reconstruction capabilities of the supply chain. The information recording of the internal data of the supply chain and the external related multisource data in the block can improve the learnability of the supply chain. The internal and external information block connection of the supply chain system is the further integration and reconstruction of the supply chain information resources in the blockchain system. The information storage and access control of the blockchain-based supply chain is an information security guarantee system in the supply chain information sharing environment. Through the method of this study, the system can form a business architecture system based on blockchain-based supply chain information sharing.

Supply Chain Finance Innovation Using Blockchain

Blockchain, the underlying technology of digital currency, such as Bitcoin, has the characteristics of decentralization, stability, security, anonymity, and nontampering. Blockchain is being applied in an increasing number of fields. Supply chain finance is a financing model in which banks connect core enterprises with upstream and downstream enterprises to provide flexible financial products and services. In the traditional supply chain finance, the core enterprises with strong competitiveness and a large scale play an irreplaceable role in managing the supply chain information flow, logistics, and capital flow, which results in inequality and information asymmetry. Fraud in supply chain finance is also very serious. To solve the problems of the traditional supply chain finance, in this article, we build a new type of supply chain financial platform that uses blockchain technology to manage the whole process. This supply chain financial platform solves the problem of nontrust among the participants in the supply chain, improves the efficiency of the capital flow and information flow, reduces costs, and provides better financial services to the relevant parties in the supply chain. To protect users' privacy, we propose a new method of using homomorphic encryption in the blockchain to meet the needs of sensitive data privacy protection in supply chain financial scenarios.

Information flow in the pharmaceutical supply chain.

Managing the supply chain plays an important role in creating competitive advantages for companies. Adequate information flow in supply chain is one of the most important issues in SCM. Therefore, using certain Information Systems can have a significant role in managing and integrating data and information within the supply chain. Pharmaceutical supply chain is more complex than many other supply chains, in the sense that it can affect social and political perspectives. On the other hand, managing the pharmaceutical supply chain is difficult because of its complexity and also government regulations in this field. Although, Iran has progressed a lot in pharmaceutical manufacturing, still there are many unsolved issues in managing the information flow in the pharmaceutical supply chain. In this study, we reviewed the benefits of using different levels of an integrated information system in the supply chain and the possible challenges ahead.

Developing measures for the evaluation of information flow efficiency in supply chains

Member organisations in a supply chain are dependent on each other to provide material, services and information to perform optimally in the supply chain. Efficient, unrestricted information flow is needed in supply chains to function properly. Information flow is thus an element of supply chain management that needs to be managed. Yet, no indication could be found in supply chain management literature of the measurement of information flow efficiency. Hence, the aim of this article is to explore the measurement of information flow efficiency in supply chain management (SCM) and exploratively develop possible measures (indicators and associated metrics) to measure the efficiency of information flow.In this research the theory of information and related concepts, the basic notions of information systems and the models of business performance measurement were explored. Based on information flow theory and information flow characteristics a research instrument was developed. It was used in a survey to seek inputs from supply chain managers as to the usefulness of characteristics as indicators and metrics for the measurement of information flow efficiency in a supply chain. The main contribution of the study is the development of a conceptual framework of indicators and metrics that may be used to evaluate the efficiency of information flows in supply chains. The results of this study can be used as a basis for further studies to validate the instrument for measuring information flow efficiency and to develop scales to actually measure information flow efficiency.

AN OVERVIEW OF WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT SYSTEM STRUCTURE IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN

Supply chain is an inter-enterprise process that connects upstream and downstream companies closely. In order to accelerate the information flow in supply chain, therefore, we need an inter-enterprise and integrated information sharing method. The information sharing among enterprises can be transparency. Upstream and downstream companies access virtual data warehouse. That makes enterprise can achieve customer quick response by supply chain management. This study mainly proposed a reference model to adopt fast information flow mechanism and transfer information from customer demand to the manufacturing facilities. Besides, this study reviewed some key points for supporting business process collaborations when organizations implemented the work flow management system. Finally, we proposed our major findings and future directions

A-TEAM BASED SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT AGENT ARCHITECTURE

Today's supply chains increasingly involve complex sets of processes, objectives and constraints, and therefore agent-based architectures for supply chain management (SCM) become much more difficult to implement and maintain. The paper presents a multi-agent architecture for specifying, analyzing and developing SCM systems, in which asynchronous teams (A-Team) of problem solving agents exchange results within populations that provide effective management of information flows in supply chains, and cooperate to produce sets of non-dominated solutions that show the tradeoffs between objectives. Our approach distinguishes itself by improving problem-solving efficiency based on a diverse set of algorithms without complicated synthesis efforts, removing the focus from agent communication and coordination details, and improving reusability, flexibility and extensibility by supporting object-oriented and component-based programming style. We examine the effectiveness of the architecture through a real-world case study and experimental results.
