Supplier Selection Construct: Instrument Development And Validation, Chin-Chun Hsu, Vijay R. Kannan, G. Keong Leong, Keah-Choon Tan

Management Faculty Publications

Purpose – To develop and test a reliable and valid supplier selection measurement scale that can be applied in different geographic regions, namely, the USA and Europe. Design/methodology/approach – A three-factor supplier selection measure is developed via extensive literature review and practitioner interviews. Psychometric properties of the survey instrument are evaluated using data from the ISM-US sample via exploratory factor analysis. Based on the results, the survey instrument is modified and the revised instrument is mailed to a larger sampling group (APICS-US and APICS-Europe). Confirmatory factor analysis is used to validate the proposed three-factor supplier selection construct and to test …

Techonology Usage In The Supply Chain: The Case Of Small 3pls, Pietro Evangelista, Edward Sweeney Jan 2006

Techonology Usage In The Supply Chain: The Case Of Small 3pls, Pietro Evangelista, Edward Sweeney

Articles

Purpose - In today’s supply chain management (SCM) practices, a successful strategy depends
increasingly on the performance of Third Party Logistics (3PL) providers as they play a key
integrative role linking the different supply chain elements more effectively. Information and
Communications Technology (ICT) has become an important element of 3PL competitive
capability as it enables higher levels of supply chain integration. Recent industry developments
have widened the technological gap between large and small 3PLs. This is critical particularly for
those markets populated by a large number of small 3PLs such as the Italian logistics industry. The
purpose of this paper …

Supplier Alliances: Differences In Attitudes To Supplier And Quality Management Of Adopters And Non-Adopters, Vijay R. Kannan, K. C. Tan Jan 2004

Supplier Alliances: Differences In Attitudes To Supplier And Quality Management Of Adopters And Non-Adopters, Vijay R. Kannan, K. C. Tan

Management Faculty Publications

Faced with increasing pressure to improve responsiveness to rapidly changing market needs, firms must respond to the challenge of how to improve supply reliability and quality, while simultaneously reducing costs. This has led to an increase in outsourcing and the adoption of supplier alliances with key suppliers. While much has been written about when and how to form such alliances and the benefits of doing so, little evidence exists of how alliance adopters differ from non‐adopters in their attitudes towards managing suppliers and their efforts to manage quality in the supply process. This study presents results of a survey of …

Optimization Of A Multi-Product, Multi-Period Distribution Network With Fixed Costs, For Refined Petroleum Products, Cynthia Diane Leach May 1989

Optimization Of A Multi-Product, Multi-Period Distribution Network With Fixed Costs, For Refined Petroleum Products, Cynthia Diane Leach

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The distribution network for refined petroleum products is multicommodity in nature since multiple products must share the same transportation resources. To satisfactorily model this network in order to study strategic decisions requires modeling multiple time periods and the use of integer variables for fixed costs. Although the problem can be mathematically formulated as a mixed integer linear program the number of variables makes it difficult to solve using standard linear programming software for real world problems. In order to exploit the structure of the problem, which includes coupling constraints, coupling variables and embedded networks, a three-level decomposition algorithm using the …
