How relevant are business sciences to managerial practice?

by Daniel Dumke in SCRM Blog - Supply Chain Risk Management

There are only very few studies, which investigate the impact of research in business has on the actual research field.
In other fields the impact is easily seen. Without research there would be no modern medicine, without research there would be no buildings rising 800m and more.
But where would business be without research in the business and economics sciences?... Read more »

Improving Supply Chain Performance and Managing Risk Under Weather-Related Demand Uncertainty

by Daniel Dumke in SCRM Blog - Supply Chain Risk Management

The demand of many products is connected to the weather patterns during and before the selling season. Ice cream can be best sold during warm summers, of course. But also other food products or clothes exhibit weather dependent demand pattern.
This article by Chen and Yano (2010) has a look at improving contracting between a manufacturer of a product with weather dependent demand and its retailer. One is for sure: uncertain demand causes negative effects for the whole supply chain, and should b........ Read more »

Supply Chain Management Book Review (Demand Forecasting, Resilience and Mapping)

by Daniel Dumke in SCRM Blog - Supply Chain Risk Management

I am a huge fan of Open Access in research and a while ago I was made aware of a book on supply chain management, which has recently been published under an open access license. The full book can be downloaded on the web site of the publisher.
The book contains 27 chapters / articles on a range of supply chain related topics, such as optimization, public sector supply chains, modeling and simulation, but also several papers which addressed supply chain risks in one way or the other.
I was espe........ Read more »

Discovering the Right Planning Approach for your Supply Chain

by Daniel Dumke in SCRM Blog - Supply Chain Risk Management


Some weeks ago I wrote about Fisher’s suggestions on how to select the right supply chain for your product. But how to continue from there? How do different products affect the further planning steps needed?
So I looked for another article to fill the gap and found “Selecting the right planning approach for a product” by Kaipia and Holmström (2007) which covers different planning approaches for different products.
This review is based on the review of Fisher’s mode........ Read more »

Matching Product Architecture with Supply Chain Design

by Daniel Dumke in SCRM Blog - Supply Chain Risk Management

This review is about a preprint article which already has been accepted for publication by the “European Journal of Operational Research”. But since there is only a limited space for articles in each issue of the journal, final publication of the article is delayed.
One could now argue in a general note that this behavior also signifies a delay of the progress of supply chain research over all, with all its negative long term effects. Furthermore, in the days of the internet journal........ Read more »
