Chapter 4 in Global Supply Chain and Operations Management, 2021, pp 87-124 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses basic supply chain and operations strategies. It starts with an introductory case study concerning supply chain strategies in the apparel industry. In the first part, operations strategies as well as the “strategic fit” are discussed. Subsequently, efficient and responsive supply chain strategies are distinguished. In the second part, the bullwhip effect and ripple effect in supply chain and mitigating coordination strategies such as Vendor-managed Inventory (VMI) and Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment (CPFR) are presented. Finally, issues of supply chain resilience, viability, and sustainability are discussed. The strategic frameworks of the viable supply chains, reconfigurable supply chains, and intertwined supply networks are presented.
