Transformation of supply chain management to agile supply chain management: Creating competitive advantage for the organizations

Abstract

Agility and resilience have become increasingly important in recent years as sudden shocks to the supply chain have become more frequent. To improve the level of integration to increase the level of agile supply chain operations, coordinated supply metrics, supplier collaboration in product design, trust between suppliers are required, coordination within the organization, correspondence of information within the organization, products design based on interaction and sharing common interests are highlighted. When there is no integration and synchronized process of the supply chain, the relationship between the company and the supplier is poor, the distribution becomes unequal and the customer is not satisfied, which will lead to failure of business. To stay sustainable in time-based competition, companies must have a supply chain that responds to customer demand for shorter lead times and can meet expectations during times of high demand.
