Abstract
This chapter represents a view of the evolution of the supply chain literature from a wide range of perspectives including operations management, logistics, purchasing, and information technologies. First, a chronological view of the field is presented. Next, eleven major research streams are summarized.
The streams are:
-
(1)
inventories,
-
(2)
global supply logistics,
-
(3)
buyer/supplier dyads,
-
(4)
communication and the Internet,
-
(5)
lean supply chains,
-
(6)
process analysis,
-
(7)
power,
-
(8)
mass customization,
-
(9)
alliances,
-
(10)
market structures, and
-
(11)
environmental life cycle.
Conceptual models are provided to depict the influence of industry. Diagrams depicting interfaces among stakeholders in the aircraft, marine, and construction industries provide examples of more complex relationships as contrasted with the typical linear models of a retail industry. In summarizing similarities and differences among research streams, primary and secondary emphasis on seven areas of research are provided for each of the streams. Finally, four categories of organizational supply chain maturity are suggested. Progressive maturity levels are pretender, follower, thinker, and industry leader.
