Abstract

Since about the year 2000 it has become clear for many businesses, especially those in the fields of the manufacturing industry and the wholesale/retail trade, that in the present competitive environment the performance and efficiency of the supply chain are necessary conditions for the business to succeed. To assist in ensuring that these conditions are supported, adaptable supply chains or adaptive supply chains are currently being discussed. Terms such as adaptive networks, agile supply chains and adaptive business networks may be found for this purpose.

Supply chain design, planning and operation decisions play a significant role in the success or failure of a business. To stay competitive, supply chains must adapt to changing technology and customer expectations.
