The framework includes a series of mutually associated processes as follows: risk sources and profiles, risk and performance drives, risk and performance consequences, risk management responses, and risk and performance outcomes. Furthermore, every process is elaborated on in detail. Thereinto, organizational performance consists of efficiency and effectiveness which is linked to risk drivers and risk management responses. Finally, some necessary discussions and supplements are put forward from a practical point of view. This study is to some extent expected to be conducive to the theories and the practice of supply chain management for contemporary enterprises.展开更多

From the space perspective and BSC, the performance evaluation system composed of four primary indicators (financial dimension, customer dimension, internal business dimension and innovation/learning perspective) and 26 secondary indicators. From the time perspective and BSC, the system could be divided into four stages, including formation stage, development stage, matu- rity stage and recession stage, with a total of 30 indicators.展开更多

First, the rough set theory is used to remove the redundant factors that affect the performance evaluation of supply chain to obtain the core influencing factors. Then the support vector machine is used to extract the core influencing factors to predict the level of supply chain performance. In the process of SVM classification, the genetic algorithm is used to optimize the parameters of the SVM algorithm to obtain the best parameter model, and then the supply chain performance evaluation level is predicted. Finally, an example is used to predict this model, and compared with the result of using only rough set-support vector machine to predict. The results show that the method of rough set-genetic support vector machine can predict the level of supply chain performance more accurately and the prediction result is more realistic, which is a scientific and feasible method.展开更多

The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of trust and communication on the e-SCM usage. Moreover, the study investigates the effect of the trust and communication on the firm’s performance while the e-SCM usage is used as a mediating factor on firm’s performance. The proposed research model was validated by distributing 250 survey questionnaires to the manufacturing sector in Jordan. Structural equation modelling (SEM) technique was used to analyze the results. One of the main limitations of this study was that the results could not be universal since the study was limited to Jordan. We discussed the implications of our results for research and practice.展开更多

Then the characteristics and problems of CSC are identified. The authors also describe the progress towards adoption of supply chain management (SCM) in the construction industry. Traditional construction management approaches (CMAs) are compared with new SCM-based CMAs. The authors suggest that integrated SCM based on cooperating competition is crucial to improve construction performance. Based on relevant results from related research, a framework for integrated construction supply chain management (CSCM) is developed to guide the effective implementation of SCM in construction.展开更多

FCM can be a useful tool in a group decision-making environment by using scientifically integrated expert knowledge. The theories of FCM and balance scorecard (BSC) both emphasize cause-and-effect relationships among indicators in a complex system, but few reports have been published addressing the combined application of these two techniques. In this paper we propose a FCM simulation model for the sample performance measurement system of Internet-based supply chain, which is constructed by BSC theory. We gave examples to explain how FCM can be adapted to execute the causal mechanism of BSC, and also how FCM can support group decision-making and forecasting in performance measurement.展开更多
