Understanding The Impact Of Environmental Uncertainty On Efficiency Performance Indicator Of Thai Rice Millers, Phatcharee Thongrattana, Ferry Jie, Nelson Perera

Sydney Business School - Papers

The purpose ofthis paper is to investigate seven uncertain factors (supply, demand, process, planning and control, competitors' action, climate condition and Thai government policy uncertainty) affecting on efficiency of Thai rice millers. The conceptual framework for this study is developed based on literatures in the environmental uncertainty of agri-food supply chain and its performance field. Efficiency is one important performance indicator in supply chain as well as agribusiness. Therefore, understanding certain uncertain factors influencing on efficiency of Thai rice millers is very crucial to manage them properly, and to obtain sustainable efficiency performance. The findings of this research show that …


Identifying Sources Of Perceived Environmental Uncertainty Along Thai Rice Supply Chain, Ferry Jie, Phatcharee Thongrattana Jan 2009

Identifying Sources Of Perceived Environmental Uncertainty Along Thai Rice Supply Chain, Ferry Jie, Phatcharee Thongrattana

Sydney Business School - Papers

Uncertain factors cause to generate any unstable processes along supply chains, and then also reduce supply chain performance. Some sources of uncertainty of agri-food supply chains are distinct from general supply chains such as variable harvest and production yields, and a huge impact of climate conditions. Thus, it is crucial to deeply understand which distinct perceived uncertain factors in agri-food supply chain that can affect to its management and its performance in order to allow agribusiness to deal with these effects properly. The purpose of this study is to discuss the perceived environmental uncertainties in the context of rice supply …
