Supply Chain Plasticity: Redesigning Supply Chains to Meet Major Environmental Change
提出供应链可塑性概念,指快速大幅调整供应链以应对商业环境重大变化的能力,并区分了可塑性与灵活性,同时介绍了本期期刊中关于可持续供应链的专题文章。
Supply chain plasticity refers to the capability of rapidly making major changes to a supply chain in order to accommodate significant shifts in the business environment. We call for research in supply chain plasticity, as the need to adapt to environmental change has never been greater. Further, a distinction between supply chain plasticity and flexibility is provided. We also introduce the articles appearing in this issue of the Journal of Business Logistics , including three papers dedicated to the Special Topic Forum titled “Sustainable Supply Chains in a Digital Inter‐connected World.”
