Small and medium sized enterprises' (SMEs) environmental performance and activities have been often of great concern toward sustainability as they have been playing a critically important role in the economic and industrial development. Among many initiatives to engage SMEs into the sustainability framework, Supply Chain Environmental Management (SCEM) of large companies has a great potential to persuade SMEs to adopt environmentally improved activities. This study investigated the relationship between SCEM approaches of large companies and environmental activities of SMEs in the Korean electronics industry. A postal questionnaire survey was used as a data collection method, and factor analysis and regression analysis were applied to analyse the collected data. The empirical findings suggested that SCEM approaches of large companies have positive impacts on environmental activities of SMEs. Among SCEM approaches, the collaborative approach was more effective than the arm's-length approach. Additionally, this study found positive impacts of trans-national SCEM approaches on SMEs' environmental activities.

In the rapid change of business environment, it is crucial that several companies with core competence cooperate together in order to deliver competitive products to the market faster. Thus a lot of companies are participating in supply chains and SCM (Supply Chain Management) become more important. To efficiently manage supply chains, the analysis of data from SCM systems is required. In this paper, we explain how to analyze SCM related data with process mining techniques. After discussing the data requirement for process mining, several process mining techniques for the data analysis are explained. To show the applicability of the techniques, we have performed a case study with a company in South Korea. The case study shows that process mining is useful tool to analyze SCM data. On specifically, an overall process, several performance measures, and social networks can be easily discovered and analyzed with the techniques.

기업간 거래에서 다수의 공급자-수요자간 거래대상자의 선택을 인터넷(Internet)상의 e-Marketplace 시스템을 통해 효율화할 수 있을 것이다. 구매기업 중심의 공급자 선택이나 구매/조달에는 e-Procurement 시스템이 적절할 수 있다. 또한, 거래대상자의 선택이나 계약과정 이후, 다수의 공급자-수요자간 여러 협력관계 속에서 거래 물량의 효율적인 공급과 운송을 위한 시스템 기능 역시 필요한 것이다. 지능형 에이전트를 비롯한 지능형 시스템은 인터넷 거래상에서 공급자-수요자간 경쟁이나 선택 또는 거래절차의 처리에 대해 활용방안이 제안되고 범위를 넓혀 가고 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 본고에서는, 공급자-수요자간 경쟁이나 선택과정의 다음 단계에 필요한, 다수의 공급자-수요자간 실제 거래 물량의 공급을 위한 최적 공급망운영(supply chain operation) 시스템을 지능형 에이젼트 체계를 활용하여 구성하였다.

Recently, firms confront to rapid environmental changes due to scientific development and demand change. Firms are trying to improve supply chain capability to react these environmental changes. Being in these improvement processes, it is important to collaborate with other partners in the supply chain. Firms have tried to outsource their in-house activity to other partners and have eliminated wasteful factors in their process and the supply chain is getting leaner. This study investigates the effect of waste factor degree on supply chain performance under external risks. Test results in this paper show that waste level has negative relationship with supply chain performance. The effect of waste level on the supply chain performance is influenced by external risk. As waste level increases, risk has moderating effect between waste level and supply chain performance. That means it is important to focus on utilization, productivity or integration properly for managing the external risk in order to improve the supply chain performance.

This study empirically investigated the direct and indirect effects of inter-organizational relationships control mechanisms (IRCM; prudent partner selection and complex contract) on the decrease of inter-organizational risks (i.e., relational risk and performance risk). The empirical results showed that prudent partner selection has a positive impact on the degrees of inter-organizational cooperation and the levels of inter-organizational information flow. The effects of complex contract on the inter-organizational cooperation and information flow were not significant. In the results of the decrease of inter-organizational risks, it was observed that inter-organizational cooperation has significant positive effects on the decrease of both relational risk and performance risk. It was found that partner selection only influences the decrease of performance risk. The impact of inter-organizational information flow on the decrease of inter-organizational risks was not statistically significant. The indirect effects of IRCM on the decrease of performance risk through inter-organizational cooperation were also empirically demonstrated. The significant impact of inter-organizational cooperation on the decrease of risks implies that high levels of collaborations among employees decrease the risk of opportunistic behavior as well as the possibility of low degrees of performance through cooperative efforts. According to the results of the effects of risks on supply-chain performance, only the impact of performance risk was negatively significant. This result points out that the low levels of performance cause delays in delivery and product launch, deterred production and delayed market response, and these deteriorated managerial activities necessarily decrease the degrees of supply-chain performance.

In recent years, as there is growing concern with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), the strategic direction of business management is changing from maximizing shareholders wealth to maximizing stakeholders value. ESG is reshaping a corporation's supply chain management strategies. The purpose of this study is to explore the ESG challenges in supply chain management. As a result of network text analysis and topic modeling analysis on 3226 news articles, 'Suppliers', 'Sustainability', 'Shared Growth' 'Carbon Neutral', 'Safety and Health', 'Responsible Business Alliance', 'Supply Chain Due Diligence Law' were identified as the main issue. Since ESG initiatives in the supply chain are not limited to the efforts of individual firms, future research should focus on figuring out what difficulties and challenges exist in the diffusion of ESG practices along multi-tiered supply chains, and how to overcome them.

공급사슬의 구조가 복잡해지고 고객의 수요가 다양해지면서 공급사슬에서의 물류기능은 점점 중요시되고 있다. 지금까지의 생산자는 전체 물류의 60% 이상을 제 3자 물류 업체를 통하여 수행하였다. 택배 시스템은 자신의 서비스 능력과 상호보완관계에 있는 여타 서비스 제공업체와 연계하여 공급사슬 효율화를 효과적으로 지원할 수 있는 체계가 필요한데 공급사슬 전체에 대한 물류서비스를 여러 업체로부터 개별적으로 외부 위탁하는 경우보다 한 번의 계약으로 통합된 물류서비스를 제공받기를 원하는 경우가 많아지고 있다. 이에 협력택배시스템의 추진이 필요하고 있다. 타사에의 정보 누출을 꺼려 아직은 인식이 부족한 상황이나 보다 효율적이고 저렴한 물류비용을 위해서는 앞으로 제조업과의 다 자간 전략적 제휴는 필수적인 상황으로 전개될 것이다. 이에 현 3PL의 문제점을 살펴보고 제조업과의 협력 방안을 살펴보기로 하겠다.

공급사슬의 구성문제는 주문의 동적환경를 고려하여 전체 관점에서 스케줄링되어야 한다. 이러한 공급사슬구성문제를 본 연구에서는 에이전트 협상 방법론을 통해 해결하고자 한다. 에이전트 협상은 공급사슬망을 경쟁적 관계로 이해하고 개별목적을 가진 구성원 에이전트간의 협상과정을 통해 재스케줄링이 발생되어 공급사슬을 구성하게된다. 지금까지의 연구는 공급사슬 상에서 수직적 통합(vertical integration)을 중심으로 조직의 유연적 조정에 초점이 맞추어졌다. 그러나 본 문제에서는 구매자로부터 주문을 받기 위해 경쟁적 관계에 놓인 제조자가 도급계약(sub-contract)이 허용되는 환경에서 협력적 관계를 통해 개별적 이익을 최대화하는 동시에 공급사슬 전체의 관점에서도 비용 최적화를 이룰 수 있는 제조자 협상방법론을 제안하였다. 본 협상방법론을 통해 수평적 관계에 놓인 경쟁업체들의 협력적 관계 및 전략적 제휴의 중요성을 살펴볼 수 있다.

This study aims to examine the relationship between the economic, environmental and social activities of sustainable supply chains and the customer satisfaction and customer retention rate, which are the final results in the supplier's operational performance and the buyer's market performance. The survey was conducted on employees in charge of supply chain management, purchasing company, partner company, and logistics management in the company. The final 193 valid data were analyzed to verify the research hypothesis. The results of the study showed that the economic and social activities of the sustainable supply chain had a positive effect on the supplier performance and the purchaser performance, but environmental activities had a negative effect on the supplier performance. In addition, the purchasing company performance has a positive effect on customer satisfaction and customer retention rate. This study provides a theoretical basis for sustainable supply chain activities to affect the operating performance of suppliers and the market performance of buyers, and suggests implications for enhancing the competitiveness of companies through the performance creation process that affects customer performance.
