Disentangling Resilience, Agility and Leanness: Conceptual Development and Empirical Analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a framework for measuring and evaluating the supply chain performance of the Volta Aluminium Company and upon the results, make recommendations and suggestions to the management, which can assist other companies in their decision-making.

TL;DR: It is concluded that a comprehensive approach to network resilience quantification encompassing the supply chain in the context of other social and physical networks is needed to address the emerging challenges in the field.

TL;DR: In this article, a critical analysis of various performance metrics for supply chain management (SCM) used by a specific manufacturing company is presented, and the authors summarize how economic theory treats multiple performance metrics.

TL;DR: A data-driven literature review of sustainable supply chain management trends toward ambidexterity and disruption leads to the identification of the knowledge frontier, which leads to a discussion of prospects for future studies and practical industry implementation.

TL;DR: In less turbulent times, executives had the luxury of assuming that business models were more or less immortal as discussed by the authors, but they seldom had to get different--not at their core, not in their essence.

Abstract: At first glance, each of the three books listed above appears to fall into a different category in the literature of public administration. David and Pollock's study might be described as instrumentalist and policy-oriented, drawing heavily on clinical studies of administrative organizations in operation. Marx's "introduction to bureaucracy" appears to be a study in comparative administration. And Selznick's "sociological interpretation" seems to belong to the literature of theories of organization and organizational behavior. However accurate such designations may be, they are misleading. For the first bears the identifiable stamp of the Brookings "problem paper"; the second, for all its historical learning and references to the record of various sovereign states, is the product of perceptive observation and experience rather than research guided by a conceptual framework of comparative analysis; and the third happily is devoid of a single word of jargon and deals in stimulating fashion with a subject that has been neglected in the current literature of organizational theory. Their common concern with some personnel aspects of large organizations justifies a joint review.

TL;DR: This paper discusses the concepts and the development of a methodology to achieve agility based on the emerging paradigm is agile manufacturing, which in concept is a step forward in generation of new means for better performance and success of business.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a cyclic migratory model which describes the PC supply chain attributes during its evolution from traditional to its present customised "leagile" operation.
