Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Paradigm Shift in Supply Chain Management (scm)(American Society for Engineering Management, 2013) Akyuz,G.A.; Gursoy,G.In today's world, the way we do business is not the only changing phenomenon but also the pace of change is changing. The business is global, highly competitive, technology-intense, prices are market driven with shorter product life cycles, integrated processes starving to collaboration. Within this context, supply chain management (SCM) has earned its right place in the strategic management arena. Technology became the enabler for SCM development, making visibility, transparency and integrity possible among the SC partners. This leads the transformation of SC's from dyadic, material management oriented relationships into complex, collaborative, networked, web-enabled, extended architectures. With multiple, global actors and complex dependencies, enterprise borders vanish and enterprise-centric strategy development becomes insufficient. What defines success in such an environment is a network-centric, collaborative and holistic approach characterized by network level strategy development and decision making based on business intelligence with the partners. Integration of multi-function and multi-agent systems will be the main key performance index (KPI) for the SCM development. This is a radical paradigm shift in which collaborative long-term partnerships reign, managerial borders extend, and network-level results dominate the enterprise-centric results. Thus, this study provides a comprehensive discussion of this paradigm shift in SCM from organizational, technological, and managerial perspectives. Following the "leagile" philosophy, capabilities and advantages of lean and agile SCM can be achieved. In this paradigm, network level performance and risk management is the key for chain-level managerial control and trust among partners is the vital binding glue keeping the partnerships alive.Article Citation - WoS: 2A Model To Evaluate Supply Chain Performance and Flexibility(Academic Journals, 2011) Bac, Ugur; Erkan, Turan ErmanIn present day's global competitive environment, enterprises have to focus on their supply chain performance to have a competitive advantage. Improving the effectiveness of the system is the only way to do so and, for this purpose, ongoing supply chain activities have to be inspected in pursuant of some performance measurements and metrics to cover the concept. There is a lack of effective mathematical models in the literature which enclose flexibility and its parameters in order to measure the performance of a supply chain by considering all of its vital elements. In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed to evaluate supply chain performance using some key performance indicators. This model can be used to evaluate the flexibility characteristics of logistic, market, supplier, machine, labor, information system, and routing of the supply chain.
