Supply Chains are often required to absorb unexpected pressure, turbulent changes in demand and disruptions across their structural components. In this paper, we acknowledge both the inter-organizational and collaborative nature of supply chains and explore how established logistics structures respond to conditions of crises as a result of unforeseen natural events and disasters. After a brief review of existing practices in the area of Disaster Supply Chain Management (DCSM) we focus on identifying and presenting the sharing 'realities' of inter-organizational networks through a short case study showcasing the situational, complex and temporal nature of responsive networks under pressure.

In this competitive business world most of the supply chains are struggling to sustain competitively in the global supply chain due to its increasing complexity in each phase of the supply chain operations. Many companies are facing financial difficulties and some have shut down due to poor supply chain management practices. Companies have to be smarter by incorporating the necessary technologies to be more competitive and sustain in the global supply chain, that processes can be better managed and automated where necessary. Most companies fail due to poor integrations of technology in their supply chain. It is important that companies be smarter in order to strive hard to reduce cost, improve customer services and to increase return of investments throughout the supply chain. While a few industries are taking a major leap; it is vital for other companies to adopt to the changing nature of the digital supply chains and embrace industry 4.0, leveraging Internet of Things (IoT). The primary goal of this study is to improve inbound and outbound operations to better manage and optimize and automate operations in an ERP system through the use of RFID technology and Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) technology in SAP. The existing ERP system was thoroughly analyzed using mixed method approach and was followed-up in assessing how transactions can be better executed in the system.

The purpose of this paper is to apply value stream mapping (VSM) for making improvement roadmap in a discrete manufacturing organization. This study provides an up-to-date, review of value stream mapping. A systematic methodology is presented in this paper for selecting product family and processes for improvements. A current state map is developed after critical observations, calculations, and analysis for identifying wastes in current system. The various tools of lean manufacturing are then discussed to establish improvement roadmap, which lead to future state mapping. The improvements evaluated on key performance indicators such as lead time, inventory reduction and increased value addition. In order to implement VSM in a discrete manufacturing organization, this study gives a complete overview of conducting value stream mapping study. The value stream mapping study reported is an original work of the authors which conducted in discrete manufacturing scenario represented by low volume with high variety products. With this context of complexity to develop value stream maps, the study is considered to be highly valuable.

This review paper considers a supply chain collaborative initiative which is Vendor Managed Inventory or VMI. VMI systems have received significant attention in the last two decades from researches worldwide due to its proved capability in effectively coordinating various parties in the supply chain through information sharing and exchange .In simple terms VMI allows suppliers to manage their retailers inventories and to decide on replenishment policies for their retailers. Generally contributions to literature of VMI are divided in to (1) Modeling of VMI systems (2)Practical implementation of VMI .This paper aims to analyze the various research aspects of VMI based on extensive literature search and to generate a classification scheme from which students, researches and practitioners can benefit. We could identify that there exists three different angles of research on VMI: (1) General (2) Modeling (3) Case studies. We further breakdown the classification to obtain the following classification scheme (1) Modeling (Mathematical/Simulation) (2) Case studies (3) Benefits (4) Challenges success factors. Under Mathematical model we have three subsections (1) Optimal replenishment dispatching policies (2) Pricing under VMI (3) VMI and contractual agreements.
