Abstract

Unsold products represent a persistent operational and financial challenge for manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. This paper aims to address the problem of unsold inventory management by developing a decision-support framework for clearance strategies. Based on the newsvendor model, the proposed approach jointly optimises supply chain profit from regular market sales and clearance sales. The optimisation relies on a qualitative risk–performance assessment of alternative clearance strategies, incorporating managers’ industrial knowledge. A numerical illustration highlights the main drivers influencing the selection of an optimal clearance policy, namely acceptable risk levels, expected clearance revenues, and capacity constraints. The results provide actionable managerial insights and are synthesised into a practical decision-making approach to support practitioners in selecting effective clearance strategies. The proposed framework is applicable to both seasonal and non-perishable products.

Abstract

Plastic supply chains have enabled global manufacturing and trade efficiency, yet weak end-of- life management and uneven adoption of circular economy practices have created significant environmental and public health challenges. In Southeast Asia, regulatory gaps and limited waste recovery infrastructure have allowed transboundary plastic waste flows, informal recycling, and open dumping to become embedded in supply chain end-of- life processes. These practices expose communities to toxic emissions, contaminated food chains, and degraded ecosystems, making public awareness a critical factor in driving behavioural and policy responses. This study investigates public awareness of health and environmental risks associated with plastic waste dumping in Malaysia and Indonesia. Using a qualitative research design, data were collected from 162 respondents through an online survey assessing awareness, media exposure, perceived personal health risks, attitudes toward economic trade-offs, and behavioural intentions. The analysis is guided by the Health Belief Model, Risk Perception Theory, Knowledge–Attitude–Behaviour framework, and Theory of Planned Behaviour to explain how perceptions and social contexts influence environmental decision-making. Thematic and empathy mapping reveal widespread concern regarding respiratory illness, chronic disease risks, environmental degradation, and food contamination. Findings indicate that while general awareness of plastic waste hazards is high, gaps remain in understanding specific health impacts and in translating concern into sustained behavioural action. Media exposure and perceived personal risk emerge as key drivers of pro-environmental intentions, while limited trust in enforcement institutions constrains public expectations of regulatory effectiveness. The study contributes to supply chain and circular economy literature by highlighting how failures in plastic end-of-life governance manifest as community health risks and by demonstrating the importance of public perception in supporting circular transition policies. The findings provide evidence to inform targeted education initiatives, stronger enforcement mechanisms, and community engagement strategies, supporting regional implementation of global plastic governance initiatives, including the United Nations Global Plastics Treaty.

Abstract

Materials management and quality management are critical for organizational efficiency and national economic development, especially in Cameroon, where their evolution has been shaped by colonial influences, economic reforms, and globalization [1]. This review explores the development of these disciplines in sectors such as agriculture, oil, and manufacturing, drawing on global and regional literature and practical case studies. The integration of quality management systems such as Total Quality Management (TQM), Six Sigma, and ISO standards has promoted continuous improvement and customer satisfaction [2]. Influential figures like Walter Shewhart, W. Edwards Deming, and Joseph Juran laid the foundations for modern quality practices, with Japan emerging as a leader in TQM by the 1960s [3]. Despite the widespread adoption of QMM in developed regions, Cameroonian organizations still face challenges related to implementation, customer satisfaction, and adapting to local market needs [4].The study offers recommendations for policymakers and business leaders aiming to advance sustainable growth and operational excellence in Cameroon and similar emerging.

Abstract

In the dynamic and globalized logistics landscape, supply chain competitiveness increasingly hinges on responsiveness and punctuality. This study investigates how this critical speed dimensions contribute to competitive advantage in Malaysia and Singapore, two strategically located nations in Southeast Asia. Drawing on qualitative survey data from logistics professionals and the general population, the research examines the multifaceted causes of lateness and delays, encompassing individual behaviours, organizational practices, and systemic infrastructural factors. Findings reveal distinct cultural and operational differences influenced by Hofstede’s Long-Term vs. Short-Term Orientation framework, highlighting Singapore’s emphasis on discipline and future planning versus Malaysia’s flexible time management approach. The study underscores the necessity for integrated behavioural and structural interventions, such as improved communication, real-time updates, and organizational policy reforms, to enhance supply chain performance and customer satisfaction. By contextualizing supply chain speed beyond mere transportation velocity to include communication and decision-making efficiency, this research provides actionable insights for practitioners and policymakers aiming to bolster logistics effectiveness and regional competitiveness.

Abstract

Digital Procurement Transformation (DPT) is also taking the form of a strategic capability that transforms procurement into more of a value-generating centre in the supply chain ecosystem rather than a transactional and cost- oriented operation. The paper explores the management ambition and digital leadership which are driving DPT through testing a leadership-focused model that incorporates four enabling factors (digital strategy, skill upgradation, collaborative networks, and supply chain uncertainties) and four barrier factors (poor strategy, skill gaps, lack of collaboration, and supply chain barriers). The result, based on online survey of 50 international procurement and supply chain professionals and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) is that collaborative network development and skill upgradation did have significant strengthening effect on management ambition, whereas poor digital strategy and lack of improvement in skills had their material weakening effect; on the contrary, digital strategy (as a direct facilitator) and supply chain uncertainties did not exhibit statistical significance in this model. The paper is valuable and directly contributed to vital information in terms of procurement leadership and digitalization, because it (i) empirically confirms a leadership-based DPT framework that simultaneously models enabling and inhibiting factors, (ii) pinpoints the organisational drivers that are most closely related to management ambition, and (iii) translates the findings into practical advice that procurement leaders should follow regarding adopting an ecosystem collaboration strategy, building workforce capabilities, and implementing a strategy.

Abstract

Delivery reliability remains a critical determinant of competitiveness in modern supply chains. Despite technological advancements, many organizations continue to experience delays caused by operational and logistics-related inefficiencies. This study investigates the key operational and transportation factors influencing delivery delays using business intelligence and data-driven analytical techniques applied to secondary supply chain data. The research integrates regression modeling, clustering analysis, and mode-based performance evaluation to examine how lead time components and transportation modes jointly affect delivery reliability. The findings demonstrate that delivery delays emerge from systemic interactions among processing, shipment, and coordination phases rather than from isolated bottlenecks. Furthermore, distinct delivery- performance profiles highlight the importance of risk- based order segmentation and mode-specific logistics strategies. The study contributes to the supply chain literature by proposing an integrated analytical framework that combines business intelligence tools with operational modeling to enhance delivery performance management. The results provide actionable insights for managers seeking to improve reliability, optimize lead-time structures, and implement data-driven decision support systems in global supply chain environments.

Abstract

This This study develops a comprehensive multi-sourcing framework enabling organizations to mitigate Calendar Year 2025 datacentre infrastructure tariff exposure through strategic supplier diversification across multiple countries of origin. Enterprise server, storage, and networking procurement faces unprecedented cost volatility driven by Section 301 supplemental tariffs imposing 25-27.6 percent duties on China-origin products while alternative origins including USMCA partners, Southeast Asian manufacturing hubs, and emerging Indian production facilities offer zero-tariff treatment. Drawing upon supply chain risk management theory and portfolio optimization methodology, this research proposes a Total Cost of Ownership framework that integrates origin-dependent tariff structures, logistics costs, quality considerations, and risk premiums to enable systematic supplier allocation decisions. This research makes three primary contributions to supply chain management literature. First, it extends portfolio optimization theory to origin-based supplier allocation decisions under trade policy uncertainty. Second, it develops an enhanced TCO framework incorporating origin-dependent tariff structures as primary decision variables. Third, it provides the first systematic examination of India as an emerging datacentre infrastructure manufacturing origin for international procurement. Implementation guidance encompasses a sixteen-week execution program, financial justification models demonstrating 12-18 percent TCO reduction potential, and governance mechanisms for dynamic portfolio management.

Abstract

Monopsony theory predicts that a single buyer facing multiple sellers should command decisive pricing power. This paper challenges that assumption in the context of specialized silicon procurement, where a sole buyer often confronts a monopolistic or near-monopolistic supplier. Drawing on practitioner experience in strategic sourcing and supply chain leadership within the consumer electronics industry, this paper identifies and formalizes the Monopsony Paradox: the counterintuitive phenomenon whereby single-buyer leverage diminishes – rather than intensifies – as supplier specialization and mutual dependency increase. This research makes three distinct contributions to supply chain management theory and practice. First, it defines and validates the Monopsony Paradox as a distinct theoretical phenomenon, providing a structured explanation of inverted buyer leverage in specialized silicon markets. Second, it develops the Triple-Constraint Negotiation Framework (TCNF), a novel procurement approach that simultaneously optimizes cost extraction, supply security, and supplier viability – representing a fundamental departure from conventional zero-sum negotiation models. Third, it provides empirical validation through detailed case analysis demonstrating how TCNF enabled a substantial reduction in manufacturing value-add while qualifying alternative suppliers and preserving vendor financial stability, with implications applicable across monopolistic procurement categories. The framework is illustrated through sensor silicon procurement in the consumer electronics industry, where significant double-digit cost reductions were achieved in the vendor’s manufacturing value-add while simultaneously qualifying an alternative supply network and preserving the incumbent vendor's financial health. Unlike conventional procurement models that treat vendor negotiations as zero-sum, this framework argues that short-term profit maximization through aggressive cost extraction can be counterproductive when the buyer depends on a sole-source vendor for mission-critical components. The paper offers practical implications for procurement leaders operating in bilateral dependency environments across semiconductor, display, battery, and other specialized technology supply chains.

Abstract

Counterfeit products are disrupting automotive supply chains globally, especially in the aftermarket sector. This study investigated and sought to address the challenge of counterfeits in the automotive aftermarket sector of Zimbabwe by applying the Extended Resource-Based Theory. This study employed the Interpretivism philosophy, the qualitative research approach, and a case study design. The researcher used interviews and a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) as research instruments. Purposive sampling was used to draw a sample of 23 participants that was made up of aftermarket businesspeople, automotive companies, a regional automotive association, policymakers, automotive clients, logisticians, researchers, and academia. The saturation point determined the cut-off point for the number of samples. Data analysis was carried out using Thematic Analysis. The study concluded that counterfeits are causing negative financial impacts on clients, automotive aftermarket businesses, and governments. Law enforcement enhancement, policy reviews, and stakeholder collaborations were identified as critical success factors in the fight against counterfeits in the automotive sector after-market. The major finding from the study was that application of the Extended Resource-Based Theory in the fight against counterfeits has the potential to mobilize strategic resources that can help bring back sanity to the local automotive aftermarket sector supply chains. The recommendations include conducting awareness campaigns that educate customers, training law enforcement agents in the requisite skills to combat counterfeits, and investing in technologies that detect and deter the smuggling and trading of counterfeits. Lastly, further research is recommended to establish the impact of policy on the fight against counterfeit automotive products and the role of technology in this fight. This paper contributes to policy and practice by advancing the application of the ERBT theory in driving collaborations to solve contemporary business challenges, such as counterfeiting in the automotive aftermarket sector supply chains.
