This book explains supply chain management (SCM) using the
strategy-structure-process-performance (SSPP) framework. Utilizing
this well-known framework of contingency theory in the areas of
strategic management and organizational design, SCM is firmly
positioned among management theories. The author specifically
proposes a theoretical foundation of SCM that will be relevant to
such areas as operations management, logistics management,
purchasing management, and marketing. Both the static and dynamic
sides of SCM are reported. On the static side, supply chain
strategies are divided into three patterns: efficiency-oriented,
responsiveness-oriented, and the hybrid efficiency- and
responsiveness-oriented pattern. For each strategy, suitable
internal and external supply chain structures and processes are
proposed. On the dynamic side, the big issue is to overcome
performance trade-offs. Based on theories of organizational change,
process change, and dynamic capabilities, the book presents a model
of supply chain process change. On structure, the focus is on the
role of an SCM steering department. Illustrative cases are included
from such diverse industries as automobiles (Toyota and Nissan ),
personal computers (Fujitsu), office equipment (Ricoh),
air-conditioning (Daikin), tobacco (Japan Tobacco), chemicals and
cosmetics (Kao), and casual fashion (Fast Retailing and
Inditex).The strategy and organization of SCM is systematically
presented on the basis of the SSPP framework. In particular, the
relationships among three management elements-strategy, structure,
and process-can be identified in an SCM context. From many of the
cases contained in this volume, there emerges an understanding of
how to analyze the success and failure factors of SCM using the
SSPP framework. In addition, the reader sees not only the static
side SCM such as process operation but also its dynamic side such
as process innovation and process improvement.
