Analysis of supply chain response frameworks: a literature review

Various supply chain response frameworks (SCRFs) have been proposed in supply chain (SC) literature; but there is no in-depth analysis. This study analyzes the applicability of SCRFs in scenarios that require SC responses by examining the frameworks’ design and use in response situations. The analys...

Sumario:Various supply chain response frameworks (SCRFs) have been proposed in supply chain (SC) literature; but there is no in-depth analysis. This study analyzes the applicability of SCRFs in scenarios that require SC responses by examining the frameworks’ design and use in response situations. The analysis reveals that whereas these frameworks have been designed for specific situations involving single SC processes, they demonstrate weaknesses by failing to meet two requirements: 1) the stimulus being responded to is different from changes in demand, and 2) the response is generated by a process distinct from manufacturing. A qualitative analysis of 38 studies revealed weaknesses in SCRFs, which include the entity proposing the framework, stimulus being responded to, activities being responded to, objectives, and response evaluation criteria. Further research in SCRF that incorporates these weaknesses promotes the fragmented development of the SCR concept. A robust SCRF will enable its utilization in various SCRs, facilitating the comparison and evaluation of responses among different SCs to the same stimulus.
