This study outlines possible risk factors in the SCM of a company and correlates risk assessment, the strategy of risk management, and the supply chain performance. The data is surveyed from an international Korean company and is analyzed by the structure equation model of actual proof. The research model verifies the correlation between the risk assessment, the strategy of risk management, and the supply chain performance as dependent variables after the risk factors of the SCM are defined as independent variables. The research shows that there are consecutive links among the risk factors of the SCM, the risk assessment, and the strategy of risk management. The strategy of risk management was conclusively determined to have an effect on supply chain performance. Therefore, improving the supply chain performance of a company requires the constructive process for risk management based on a correlation between risk assessment and the strategy of risk management.

This paper focuses on a proposal of alternatives with reasonable positioning like most of enterprises willing to overcome such as carelessness and unready strategy of investment, additionally, the thesis should effort to find an element through an analysis of cases, a statistical method of effective SCM, and actual survey to propose an alternative between Positioning & Strategy in Enterprise SCM.

Competition in the industrial world in the era of globalization is increasingly tight line with advances in information technology. Advances in information technology companies make every attempt to improve its internal business processes. To optimize its business processes, companies should not only be oriented to internal processes, but rather an external process that involves a relationship with the companies involved as a business. XYZ Corporation is a company engaged in manufacturing plastic household goods. The resulting products include a variety of bottles (which are used for soap, lotion, shampoo, and ink), bottle caps, cans, mannequin body fit, and others. XYZ is facing problems of a delay in arrival of raw materials, stock-checking errors, and delays in delivery of goods to the customer. Based on the problems that arise, the authors propose to use the e-SCM applications to XYZ because the e-SCM can help coordinate all the activities of the supply chain from raw material procurement to distribution to the customer, especially considering the number of suppliers that work with XYZ.

The purpose of this study is to develop an empirical model focusing on information exchange among partners in supply chain, and to analyze the main factors influencing the causal relationship between information exchange and performance. Based on cross-sectional questionnaire survey on Korean manufacturing firms, this study analyzed the factors influencing information exchange such as environmental factors, organizational factors, relationship factors, and information characteristics of the sample firms. Our major findings might provide many useful insights for managers in exploring the most efficient system for information exchange among partners in the context of SCM.

본 연구에서는 프랜차이즈 시스템을 서비스 공급사슬의 한 형태로 인식하였다. 서비스 공급사슬의 중심기업이 유통협력사에게 전달하는 지식이전을 확대를 위한 전략을 제시하면서, 그 선행요인으로 사회적 자본 관점을 고려하였다. 중심기업은 실존하는 고객(Customer presence)에 대한 관리를 유통협력사의 성과에 의지해야하는 특성이 있으므로, 중심기업의 경영성과는 개별 협력사들의 경영성과의 합으로 나타날 것이다. 따라서 전통적 공급사슬관리에서 제시되어 온 ‘중심기업-유통협력사’ 양자 간의 관계관리 보다는, ‘중심기업-유통협력사-고객’의 삼자관점(Triad)에서 공급사슬전략을 고려할 필요가 있다. 삼자관점에서 볼 때, 고객관리 역할을 잃게 될(Bridge decay) 중심기업의 전략은 고객관리의 주체가 될 유통 협력사의 역량을 강화시키는 것이 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 중심기업의 노력에 의해 형성된 사회적 자본이 유통협력사의 지식이전 수용을 강화하여 경영성과로 반영되는 프레임웍을 제시하였으며, 이를 구조방정식 모형을 통하여 실증하였다. 연구결과에 따르면, 구조적 사회적 자본과 인지적 사회적 자본은 관계적 사회적 자본인 신뢰를 형성하는 데 유의미한 선행요인으로 나타났으며, 형성된 관계적 사회적 자본은 지식이전을 매개로 하여 유통협력사의 경영성과에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 서비스업 경영성과 향상의 선행요소로 제시되어 오던 서비스 혁신성은 경영성과 향상에 유의미한 관련성이 없는 것으로 나타났는 데, 이는 프랜차이즈 시스템의 특이한 특성으로 해석되었다. 이를 포함한 한계점과 더불어, 이론적, 실무적 시사점이 제시되었다.

This study explores services supply chain management(SCM) strategy in Franchise system with the lens of social capital and knowledge transfer. Conventional SCM strategies have been focusing on dyadic relationship between focal company and supplier, where customer presence in services SCM. Li and Choi(2009) insist that triadic relationship among “focal company ?supplier ? customer” will be reasonable framework to understand service supply chain, and focal companies would experience “bridge decay” after the agreement of services outsourcing contract. Building social capital with supplier can be a strategy for focal companies in this“hands-off” situation to influence supplier’s performance through knowledge transfer from focal company. Results show that the structural and cognitive social capital can enhance relational social capital(trust), and that established trust will positively influence supplier’s performance with mediating effect of knowledge transfer. Theoretical and managerial implication have beenn discussed with the limitations and extended research topics in the further researches.

This paper examined the supply chain management Integration factors and evironmental performance in Korean industry. As SCM got evolved, the importance of Socially and Environmentally Responsible Supply Chain among the Supply Chain members are increased. we should consider the following critical factors such as SCM Integration, environmental practice, SCM performance and environmental performance. The purpose of this study is to focus on linkage between conventional SCM factors with new environmental factors to clarify the critical factor for the SCM firms who may concerns about environmental performance. Based on the analysis of sixty-two cases, the following results were found. First, SCM Integration factors of supply chain management have a positively significant influence on SCM performance and environmental performance of supply chain management. Second, SCM performance have a positively significant influent on environmental performance. Third, environmental practice factors of supply chain management have a positively significant influence on SCM performance but not significant influence on environmental performance. This study suggests that with high level of Integration and environmental practice, firms may have good result on SCM performance and environmental performance. Especially, our empirical evidence shows that environmental practices without good SCM performance, may not have good result on environmental performance.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze how ZARA and H&M's global supply chain management is carried out, how they reduce production time from 6-9 months to 3-5 weeks, and ensure product quality. Research design, data, and methodology: In order to achieve research purposes, this paper analyzes and summarizes relevant academic papers, degree thesis, and official website related reports. In order to ensure the accuracy of the data, all data related to sales and production are subject to the official website data. Results: The global supply chain management of ZARA and H&M has made them the king of speed in the apparel industry. The supply chain has shortened the speed of products from design to sales. It has won the favor of consumers. At the same time, the two will not produce the second time for products with good sales and out of stock, which increases the scarcity of the products. At the same time, the products in the store are updated every 2 to 3 weeks, which also increases the number of customers to the store. Conclusions: In order to analyze ZARA and H&M supply chain more accurately, this article analyzes ZARA and H&M supply chain from product design, raw material purchase, product design, product transportation, sales and promotion. The two shortened the entire supply chain to 3 to 5 weeks. The shortest time of the ZARA supply chain was 21 days. It can be said that it created the fast supply chain myth of the apparel industry, and of course gave up some economic benefits for this myth. Although the two have increased the speed of the supply chain, they have not given up the quality of the products, thereby further increasing the customer's purchase desire and satisfaction. This makes ZARA and H&M more competitive than other apparel companies. So that the company gains benefits. The pursuit of details has achieved the success of ZARA and H&M. They have designed different customers in different regions. H&M has put the cooperation with star designers to the extreme, not only increasing sales, but also improving the brand’s Image.

A supply chain is the flow ofmaterials,information,money,and services fro raw material suppliers through factories and warehouses to the end customers. The term supply chain comes from the concept of how the partnering organizations are linked together. However, a supply chain is more than that, as it also movement of a product or a service. Managing supply chains can be difficult due to the need to coordinate several business partners, several internal corporate departments, numerous business processes, and possibly many customers. Supply chains can be very long, involving many internal and external partners located in different places. Two major problems arise when companies try to justify SCM in manufacturing companies. The first problem is the fact that most of benefits of SCM are intangible, and the second is that substantial can usually be reaped only from the major manufacturing companies. This study tried to find the effect of the determinants in the SCM of the china logistic firm. The result showed that the effect of the determinants was different across the various levels of the factors. However, more studies are required to generalize the result of this studies.

Under the borderless competition, the globalization of the management system is one of the key issues to survive. Especially, the wide utilization of internet brought the most of global companies with the advent of global supply chain management (Global SCM). Preceding studies on the SCM reveals the four categories of paradigm to introduce the global SCM. They are process integration, IT infra, integration of applied solution packages such as ERP, CRM, KMS, etc, and the strategic alliances. Among these, the basic factors for the successful implementation of SCM could be the IT infra and application integration as the hardware and software of SCM. The paper analyzes these paradigms and the key factors for the successful implementation of global SCM, based on the case studies of domestic as well as the global enterprises. The paper concludes wi the five benchmarking strategies from the case studies in practical as well as theoretical terms. Most of important conclusion from the study tells that the mind revolution and the enterprise cultural innovation should be preceded before the strategy for global SCM be implemented.

This paper examines the constructing strategy and business performance critical factor of Global Supply Chain Management(GSCM). Information system, quality of information and information network were used as proxy for the characteristics of information capacity of GSCM. Agility and flexibility of business performance were used as proxy for the business performance critical factor of GSCM. Based on the analysis of eighty GSCM cases, the following results are found. It was found that the information network of information capacity affects agility and that the quality of information of information capacity affects flexibility. But, information system of information capacity did not affect business performance critical factor of information capacity. However, there are several limitations such as characteristics of information capacity and measurement of business performance of stability, linkage, etc.
