Examining the resiliency of intertwined supply networks: a jury-rigging perspective

Javad Feizabadi et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the importance of merging different supply networks to address shortages of critical products. Temporary jury-rigging behavior, which involves recombining components, has been utilized to find solutions. The design and change of interdependencies in supply chain networks have become relevant. By using a computational model, the study examines the isolated and combined effects of these mechanisms on supply chain network resiliency, demonstrating significant differences in adaptiveness and mortality rate between jury-rigged and non-jury-rigged supply chain networks, with these effects influenced by the level of coupling among the supply chains.

Summary: Social enterprises develop commercially viable businesses to address pressing social problems. However, balancing social impact and financial viability is challenging, requiring engagements with stakeholders to access resources. This study explores how social enterprises develop social capital in supply chain relationships and its impact on their pursuit of impact and viability. Findings show that different types of social capital are important for different supply chain relationships, with structural and relational capital valuable in core relationships and cognitive capital beneficial in peripheral relationships. Social enterprises sometimes prioritize impact over power but use relational capital to mitigate opportunism threats.

A stochastic optimisation approach to maintain supply chain viability under the ripple effect

Tadeusz Sawik

Summary: “This paper presents a novel quantitative approach and stochastic quadratic optimisation model to maintain supply chain viability under the ripple effect. Instead of viability kernel commonly used in the viability theory, this paper establishes the boundaries on acceptable production states for which the production can be continued under the ripple effect, with no severe losses. The findings indicate that for the extreme values of the weight factor, the viable production trajectory is inclined toward the corresponding boundary trajectory and remains in-between the two boundaries, when both objectives are equally important. Keeping production trajectory in-between the two boundaries makes the supply chain more resilient to disruption risks, while the supply chain resilience diminishes as the production trajectory approaches a boundary trajectory. Then a more severe disruption may push the production outside the viability region and cause greater losses.”

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant changes to grocery retailers, requiring them to adapt their operations to new health concerns and shifting customer behaviors. This study uses economic models to analyze the impact of pandemic conditions on grocery retailers, specifically looking at changes in customer shopping behavior and the influence of occupancy limitation guidelines. The findings reveal that while occupancy limitations reduce in-store foot traffic, they do not necessarily result in profit decline. Additionally, the study highlights the externality impact of online customers on in-store shopping behavior and the potential influence of delivery and curbside pickup services on store traffic and profit. Overall, this research provides valuable insights for retailers regarding occupancy limitations and health safety measures, and identifies operating modes that can help reduce infection risk and increase profit.
