A gestão da cadeia de suprimentos é uma forma que as organizações têm para orquestrar seu diferencial competitivo e maximizar o valor, sendo feita por meio da adoção de práticas de gestão da cadeia de suprimentos. Porém, para gerar uma vantagem competitiva sustentável, elas precisam ser valiosas, raras e difíceis de imitar, caminhando em linha com a visão baseada em recursos. Desta forma, o propósito desta pesquisa é identificar quais práticas de gestão da cadeia de suprimentos os gestores deveriam adotar, de modo que tragam desempenho superior para suas empresas. Para tanto, será utilizada a abordagem quantitativa para analisar a influência das práticas de gestão sobre as métricas de desempenho operacionais das empresas. Serão analisadas cerca de 800 empresas espalhadas entre 13 tipos de indústrias. Como resultado, espera-se compreender quais práticas realmente impactam o nível de desempenho das empresas, considerando diferentes tipos de indústrias, tamanho de empresa e região continentais. E consequentemente, contribuir para acadêmicos da linha de pesquisa de 'Estratégia e Operações', quanto para gestores que trabalham na gestão da cadeia de suprimentos.

[pt] A gestão da cadeia de suprimentos (Supply Chain Management - SCM) vem sendo introduzida com o intuito de gerar vantagens competitivas através de uma redução de custos ao longo da cadeia e de um aumento no nível de serviço prestado aos clientes. A tecnologia de informação é um viabilizador para o sucesso da SCM, onde os sistemas (ou aplicativos, ou softwares) têm um papel muito importante. A presente dissertação tem como objetivos propor um modelo de referência que incorpore os principais sistemas de informação (SI) integrados utilizados para SCM e aplicá-lo de forma a analisar os principais macro-processos de negócio de uma empresa de eletroeletrônicos na forma de um estudo de caso sob a perspectiva da distribuição e vendas. Esta análise é feita em conjunto ao mapeamento dos macro-processos de negócios da empresa. A empresa escolhida foi a divisão da Sony Electronics que atua no Brasil como Sony Brasil Indústria e Comércio Ltda, que nesta dissertação é chamada de Sony Brasil. O estudo de caso contou também com dois operadores logísticos e com um grande varejista que fazem parte da cadeia de suprimentos da Sony Brasil. A metodologia científica incluiu: uma revisão bibliográfica da literatura referente ao tema; diversas entrevistas estruturadas e não estruturadas; observações diretas e visitas in loco em diversas instalações pertencentes à cadeia analisada. Esta dissertação é concluída com uma análise crítica da SCM da Sony Brasil sob a perspectiva dos sistemas de informação voltados para as atividades de distribuição e vendas. / [en] Supply Chain Management (SCM) - has been introduced aiming to create competitive advantages through cost reduction alongside the chain and of an increase of service rendered to clients.

[pt] A globalização da competição tem forçado as organizações a buscar e implementar novas vertentes geradoras de vantagens competitivas. Como na atualidade a competição ocorre freqüentemente entre cadeias de suprimentos e não entre empresas isoladas, a Gestão da Cadeia de Suprimentos (Supply Chain Management - SCM) aparece como uma nova fronteira a ser explorada. Em função dessas considerações, esta dissertação tem por objetivo de aplicar o Modelo para SCM de Aragão et al. (2004) para analisar cadeias de suprimentos baseadas em dimensões-chave necessárias para uma bem sucedida SCM. As dimensões-chave consideradas neste modelo são: integração de processos de negócios, identificação dos membros-chave da cadeia, compartilhamento de informação e medidas de desempenho relacionadas à cadeia de suprimento de uma empresa fabricante de gases industriais no mercado Brasileiro. Este fabricante é considerado nesta dissertação como a empresa focal da cadeia de suprimentos. Cinco membros-chave desta cadeia são também incorporados na análise. Conclui-se que a empresa focal possui diferentes formas de gerir a sua cadeia em função de cada membro chave. / [en] The globalization of competition has forced the organizations to seek and to implement new forms to create competitive advantages. Nowadays, as competition occurs effectively between supply chains and not between isolated companies, SCM (Supply Chain Management) appears as a new frontier to be explored. Within this context, this dissertation has the objective to apply the model for SCM proposed in Aragão et al. (2004) to analyze the supply chains based on key-dimensions for a successful SCM. The key- dimensions considered in this model are: business process integrations, identification of the supply chain key-member, sharing of information and measures of performance related to the supply chain of an industrial gas manufacturer in the Brazilian market. This manufacturer is considered in this dissertation as the focal company of the supply chain. Five key-members of this chain are also included in the analysis. As a result the analyses, it is possible to conclude that the focal company develops different ways to manage its chain depending on each of its key members.

The Small and Medium-size Enterprises are the key bone of the economy of many nations. The usual definition of SME’s, make up 99.8% of the approximately 19 million enterprises of the European Union (ISO, 2002) and Sweden is not an exception. That is why SME’s faces the strategic challenge of achieving sustained profitable growth. To meet this challenge, SME’s must develop capabilities to integrate their systems. Since ICT gives so many advantages to support the Supply Chain, and MRPII software’s have become a very popular tool in the last thirty years; Our purpose is to answer the following research question: How can MRP II-type computer systems be used effectively to support the manufacturing and organizational integration? The research started with on-site observations and interviews but the development of a model and a survey was needed. After, we linked the research with an already accepted model. The results show how important the human aspect and the accuracy are in the effective usage of an MRP II. It also demonstrates that the MRP II philosophy must be accepted to use the MRP II software profitably. Nevertheless, we modeled the vicious cycle that our case company might deal with, tried to find the root cause and give recommendations to break it. / Små och Mellan- stora företag är många nationers byggstenar. Den vanligaste definitionen av SME´s utgör 99,8% av de uppskattningsvis 19 miljoner företag inom Europeiska Unionen (ISO, 2002) och Sverige är inget undantag. Det är anledningen till att SME´s möter den strategiska utmaningen att uppnå ihållande och vinstgivande tillväxt. För att ta sig an denna utmaningen måste SME´s utveckla förmågor att integrera sina system. Eftersom ICT ger så många fördelar att stödja utbudskedjan, och eftersom MRP II mjukvaror har kommit att bli ett populärt verktyg de senaste trettio åren, kommer vårt syfte bli att svara på följande fråga: Hur kan datasystem av typen MRP II användas för att på ett effektivt sätt underlätta integrering av tillverkning och organisation? Undersökningen startade med observationer samt intervjuer på plats, men utförandet av en statistisk undersökning och en modell var nödvändig efter det att vi redan hade kopplat ihop arbetet med en redan accepterad modell. Reasultaten visar hur viktig den mänskliga faktorn samt exaktheten är i användandet av en MRP II. Den visar också att MRP II filosofin måste vara accepterad innan man kan använda MRP II mjukvaran på ett fördelaktigt sätt. Likväl har vi illustrerat den onda cirkeln som vårt företag måste försöka ta sig ur, försökt hitta den underliggande orsaken och slutligen att ge rekommendationer för att bryta den.

Lean production and Lean philosophy have been developed, studied and implemented over the world since it was know from Toyota Production System. International manufacturers/OEMs have more or less developed their own Lean production systems. Over the years, arising challenges from new technology and internationalization have force the OEMs to understand and evaluate the design of supply chain to support their lean production system, and to manage the SC and compete as a whole against other supply chains. When apply Lean principles to the level of Supply Chain, coordination is an essential element to success. Today, researches have been done on joint efforts on decision making among supply chain actors, and applying Lean tools such as VSM on an extended level, namely a supply chain. Whereas the methods to improve SC coordination when implementing Lean through SC remain undeveloped. By interviewing Lean supply chain experts, experienced personnel in Supply Chain Management, and Lean experts from various organizations, a methodology to identify and visualize the improvement areas in supply chain coordination was designed. The methodology was then tested in a European OEM’s supply chain. Value Stream Mapping, as the base, was adapted to support identification and visualization of improvement areas in supply chain coordination. Several misalignments in the SC coordination were found in the current state, then visualized in current state map and approved by various SC actors. The methodology was then improved according to the process of testing. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a methodology to identify and visualize the improvement areas in (manufacturing) supply chain coordination within a Lean perspective.

[pt] A gestão da cadeia de suprimentos envolve múltiplos participantes, inúmeras incertezas e alta complexidade devido a um ambiente de negócios cada vez mais fragmentado e que envolve grandes volumes financeiros. A governança surge então como um caminho para melhorar o desenvolvimento de toda a cadeia de suprimentos, por meio de uma abordagem multidimensional e com foco no desempenho. No contexto da administração pública não é diferente, para as Forças Armadas a questão orçamentária é um desafio constante, nesse escopo, a Marinha do Brasil (MB), tem buscado austeridade nos gastos públicos, a despeito da necessidade de manter seus meios operativos em condição de plena eficiência, diante de um cenário de crescente participação em ações socias e operações que visam, por exemplo, a saúde de populações ribeirinhas e o combate a ilícitos. Dentro deste contexto, esta dissertação tem como objetivo melhorar o processo de compras da MB no escopo da cadeia logística de combustíveis, lubrificantes e graxas à luz dos preceitos e mecanismos de governança. Inicialmente, portanto, foi realizada uma revisão de escopo (RE) da literatura, tendo como resultado uma taxonomia e um framework que articulam os elementos basilares do conceito de governança na cadeia logística e as interações entre eles, corroborando a visão de interdependência entre os agentes da cadeia, seus processos e práticas. Os resultados da RE foram, então, aplicados em um estudo de caso na MB, através da análise inicial das publicações oficiais, da revisão do processo atual à luz dos conceitos que emergiram da RE e por meio de entrevistas com especialistas da MB. Como resultado, este estudo de caso proporcionou um processo de compras mais eficiente para a cadeia logística de combustíveis, lubrificantes e graxas da MB. / [en] Supply chain management involves multiple participants, numerous uncertainties and high complexity due to an increasingly fragmented business environment that involves large financial volumes. Governance thus emerges as a way to improve the development of the entire supply chain, through a multidimensional and performance-focused approach. In the context of public administration, it is no different, for the Armed Forces the budget issue is a constant challenge, in this scope, the Brazilian Navy (MB) has sought austerity in public spending, despite the need to keep its operational means in good condition. of full efficiency, in the face of a scenario of increasing participation in social actions and operations that aim, for example, at the health of riverside populations and the fight against illicit activities. Within this context, this dissertation aims to improve MB s purchasing process in the scope of the fuel, lubricant and grease logistics chain in the light of governance precepts and mechanisms. Initially, therefore, a scoping review (RE) of the literature was carried out, resulting in a taxonomy and a framework that articulate the basic elements of the concept of governance in the logistics chain and the interactions between them, corroborating the vision of interdependence between agents chain, its processes and practices. The results of the RE were then applied in a case study at MB, through the initial analysis of official publications, the review of the current process in the light of the concepts that emerged from the RE and, finally, through interviews with experts from the RE. MB, with the objective of proposing a new purchasing process for MB by enabling more efficient processes aimed at increasing the expected performance in the purchasing process.

[pt] O gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos tornou-se um tema de preocupação para administradores públicos de todo o mundo. O aumento no nível de consumo, somado ao uso indiscriminado de materiais descartáveis, despertou na opinião pública movimentos que cobram das empresas uma nova postura referente à preservação dos recursos naturais. O Green Supply Chain Management - GrSCM, surge como uma nova forma de gerenciamento da cadeia de suprimentos que leva em conta todo o ciclo de vida do produto, desde a extração de suas matérias-primas, até sua disposição final. Uma vez que a aplicação deste conceito ainda é incipiente, o presente trabalho inicialmente apresenta uma abordagem das principais definições descritas na literatura para os termos ligados ao GrSCM. Em seguida, a partir de um diagnóstico que referencia a situação dos resíduos sólidos na comunidade da Rocinha, uma favela no Município do Rio de Janeiro, propõe diretrizes gerais para um sistema logístico de recolha e beneficiamento destes resíduos (com destaque aos recicláveis) para áreas de favela em geral, buscando medidas práticas de aplicação do conceito de GrSCM em locais de ocupação irregular e pobreza acentuada. As diretrizes foram traçadas sob três perspectivas: a dos empresários geradores dos produtos; a dos moradores e organizações locais e a dos órgãos públicos e instituições responsáveis pela coleta e limpeza da região. Como conclusão, defende-se que para o bom funcionamento de um sistema de gerenciamento de resíduos a partir da aplicação do GrSCM em realidades tão complexas, governo e empresas privadas devem ser parceiros e atuar de forma coordenada. Cabe ainda aos moradores e organizações locais, o dever de cobrar, adotar, fiscalizar e promover ações que visem o bem estar do local onde vivem. / [en] Municipal solid waste management (MSCM) has become a topic of concern for public administrators all over the world. The increase in the level of consumption added to the indiscriminate use of disposables, gave rise to public opinion movements that require new approaches from companies in order to preserve the natural resources. The Green Supply Chain Management (GrSCM) emerges as a new way of managing the supply chain that takes into account the whole life cycle of the product, from the extraction of raw materials to its correct final disposal. Since the application of this concept is still new, this dissertation initially defines the main terms related to the GrSCM described in the literature. Following, based on MSW data obtained on the Rocinha community, in the Rio de Janeiro municipality, general guidelines of a logistic system for the collection and processing of waste (with emphasis on recycling) in slum areas aiming to achieve practical measurements for the application of the GrSCM concept are proposed. These guidelines were drawn from three perspectives: that of the entrepreneurs that generate the goods; that of the residents and local organizations; and that of the public agencies and institutions responsible for collecting and cleaning the area. In conclusion, it is argued that for the proper functioning of a MSW management system in complex neighborhoods based on the application of GrSCM, government and entrepreneurs must be partners and act in a coordinated manner. Besides, the residents and local organizations must adopt, promote and monitor actions that aim the welfare of the local where they live.

Taiwan steel industry has stepped from grown-up into mature period. Especially, the midstream and downstream of steel industries will face the problems of sterner challenges and overcapacity, because of the oversupply of global steel. Not only the prices of oil, coal, water and power have climbed, but also the shipping cost has increased continuously. The improvement of Supply-Chain-Management (SCM) has become a significant issue under the circumstances. The SCM of Taiwan flat cold-rolled steel industry is different from the other ones that it doesn¡¦t use BOM. The main feature of Technical System ¡V ¡§Standard of Operation¡¨(SOP) is the kernel module that links the sales order entry, production management, purchasing, ¡Ketc. The production type is to input a sole coil and output many sub-coils. It is not like the electronic industry to assemble many parts on a product. It only coats the surface of steel with microelements, such as oil, zinc, aluminum and paint. The feature makes it impossible to apply SCM or ERP package directly on this industry. The procedures of this study are mainly through the interview of steel companies, and review on the relevant reference documents related to the subject of those have been published domestically and internationally, meanwhile to get a better understanding on the most recent development of Supply Chain Management and e-business of steel industry. Besides, through the comparison of the similar companies, it is likely to understand the associated topics and models on the SCM and e-Business for flat cold-rolled steel industry. The key point is to analyze the characters of supply chain system of Taiwan cold-rolled steel industry and consider the features of flat cold-rolled steel ¡V SOP and coil- based Standard Cost system, to establish an appropriate e-SCM model, exploring the suitable information technologies and applications to improve the drawbacks of present SCM. Finally, to make a recommendation for the industry as their reference when they plan for the implementation of e-SCM.

<p>Today’s business market is highly competitive, therefore companies need to be constantly updated and change the way they operate their business, in order to survive and remain competitive. The situation on today’s market requires that companies have the ability to quickly respond to market changes and new customer demands within short product lifecycles. In order to deal with this new market situation, companies need to improve the integration with other companies within their business. This integration facilitates the companies’ ability to quickly adapt to new market situations and survive on a fast changing market. One of the main underlying concepts of this collaborative commerce is Supply Chain Management (SCM) which integrates and coordinates a company’s processes both internally and externally. Information Technology (IT) could improve the effectiveness of SCM. IT-solutions make the business processes more effective and improves the integration with other actors within the supply chain. The purpose with this thesis is to describe and explain the effects for businesses and the consequences for its processes when implementing a real-time IT-Logistics solution together with identifying the critical success factors. The thesis has been conducted by studying theory regarding supply chain management, business renewal and implementation effects. Further, a case study has been conducted where three actors have been interviewed; a manufacturer (Volvo Powertrain), a subcontractor (Metallfabriken Ljunghäll AB) and a system developer (PipeChain). The analysis of the theoretical framework and the empirical research has contributed with an identification of major effects and consequences when implementing a real-time IT-Logistics solution. Some of the effects are: inventory reduction, higher delivery accuracy, improved relations and increased flexibility. Examples of consequences these effects have caused are: more accurate planning and production, effective production processes as well as an improved delivery process. Additionally, success factors for an implementation have been identified such as mutual trust, understanding of change and evaluation.</p> / <p>Konkurrensen är stor inom dagens affärsmarknad vilket medför att företag ständigt måste vara uppdaterade och förändra deras affärsverksamhet för att kunna överleva och vara konkurrenskraftiga på marknaden. Dagens marknadssituation erfodrar att företag snabbt kan reagera på marknadsförändringar och nya kundkrav vid allt kortare produktlivscyklar. För att företag skall kunna hantera denna nya marknadssituation måste företagen bli integrerade med varandra inom deras affärsområde. Denna integrering underlättar företagens förmåga att snabbt kunna anpassa sig till nya marknadssituationer och överleva på en snabbt föränderlig marknad. Ett utav de största grundläggande koncepten för denna integrering är flödeshantering (Supply Chain Management). Flödeshanteringen integrerar och koordinerar företagets processer både internt som externt. Informationsteknologi (IT) kan förbättra effektiviteten av flödeshanteringen. IT-lösningar skapar effektivare affärsprocesser och förbättrar integrationen med andra aktörer inom företagets försörjningskedja. Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva och förklara effekter för affärsverksamheten samt konsekvenser för dess affärsprocesser, vid en implementering av en realtidslogistiklösning. Uppsatsen syftar vidare till att identifiera framgångsfaktorer vid en sådan implementering. Uppsatsarbetet har genomförts genom en litteraturstudie där teori om flödeshantering, affärsförändring och implementationseffekter har behandlats. En fallstudie i uppsatsen har använts där tre aktörer har blivit intervjuade; en tillverkare (Volvo Powertrain), en underleverantör (Metallfabriken Ljunghäll) och en systemutvecklare (PipeChain). Analysen av litteraturstudien och den empiriska undersökningen har bidragit till en identifiering av huvudeffekter samt konsekvenser vid en implementering av en IT-logistiklösning. Några av dessa effekter är: lagerreducering, högre leveranssäkerhet, förbättrade relationer samt ökad flexibilitet. Exempel på konsekvenser dessa effekter har orsakat är: precisare planering och produktion, effektivare produktionsprocesser samt förbättrad leveransprocess. Vidare så har framgångsfaktorer för lyckad implementering identifierats så som ömsesidig tillit, förståelse för förändring samt utvärdering.</p>
