Conceptual Frameworks for Supply Chain Management

  • Chapter

Abstract

In this chapter, the issues in agile, flexible and responsive SCs and related categories of postponement, virtual enterprises (VE) and coordination are considered. Different interrelations of these categories are examined. We also present the state of the art of adaptive SCM (A-SCM). Subsequently, the basics of the conceptual vision of the A-SCM approach at the organizational level are considered. We start with the main definitions, and then we consider the A-SCM framework as composed of elements drawn from SCM, VE, agile/responsive SCs, and sustainable SCM. In the A-SCM framework, we do not set off different value-adding chain management strategies with each other, but consider them as an integrated framework. All three value chain drivers – products and their life cycles, customers and their orders, and suppliers/outsourcers – are enhanced by combining the elements from SCM, agility, and sustainability. Moreover, these drivers are interlinked within a unified information space.
