It has increasingly been argued in the literature that for a company which strives for market competitiveness, it does not suffice just to excel at managing company s assets. Indeed, it has been suggested that supply chains compete, not companies (Lambert and Cooper, 2000). To this effect supply chain modeling and improvement is gaining more and more attention from academics and practitioners. With the recent emphasis by businesses around the world on the division of tasks, more and more activities are being outsourced to manufacturing firms in developing economies. Being the source of primary raw material, the performance of firms in developing countries is expected to contribute to the improvement of the entire supply chain. It is, therefore, important to seek a business process oriented model that facilitates their modeling and improvement efforts. The need for such model is augmented afte...

With the recent advancement of information and communication technologies this participation are becoming as common business practice in developed countries firms. Companies are more integrating into the world market for the global nature of the sourcing, manufacturing and distribution. These changes create both challenges and opportunities for the manufacturing industries in developing countries. The objective of this paper is to examine the level of inter-organizational and intra-organizational supply chain integration practices in developing country, Ethiopia. Design/methodology/approach: An industrial questionnaire survey is used to collect the current practices of the manufacturing industries in Ethiopia as an example of the developing countries. Descriptive statistics is primarily used for the analysis. F...

The basic constituent of such models is the business processes. Firms in developing countries are lagging behind the recent trends of practices and researches. For continuous and sustainable improvement program that involves the entire supply chain including developing countries, it is necessary to have a well designed supply chain models that also consider the firms of the developing countries. The existing successful process-oriented models are highly dependent on the current business practices of the companies of the developed world. For both the new development and adapting of the successful models require the understanding of the characteristics of the existing supply chain processes and practices in the firms in a developing countries. The aim of this article is to identify the main...

The developing countries are becoming more open to adapting and accepting Western business practices. One of the important issues in this context is the use of the standard performance measurement systems. In the current literature, the capability to measure the performance of manufacturing industry operations can be seen as an important prerequisite for improvement. Companies have increased the capabilities of their performance measurement systems. The manufacturing industries in developed countries have been developed and implemented successfully multi-dimensional performance measures, and measurement systems for their business success. Whereas research results and data related to developing country's state of performance measures are very minimal. With the recent global integration and economic relevance of dev...

This research-developed a model by Analytic hierarchy pair wise that gives full information for a coffee processing plant to select a suitable location from alternatives as its objective. The main location factors were analyzed by the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) wise method to rank candidate alternative locations.The questionnaire analysis mainly used Statistical Packaging Social Software (SPSS) and AHP method for weighting and ranking alternative locations according to the evaluation of location criteria priority values. The discussion addressed as the misallocation has an impact on selecting a suitable location before, and it is good to follow this developed model. It is inevitable for the society to update with the growth model and generally pre-coffee processing plant owners are facing problems in selecting a suitable location from alternatives in a Guji Zone. The proposed...

These organizations are in a constant need to maintain a low cost of quality, reduce waste, trim production lines, and speed up manufacturing to achieve a maintain competitiveness. Companies both from developed and developing countries are striving to acquire the habit of improvement using Kaizen, as well as to focus on a customer-driven strategy to improve productivity. The quality of products and services are continuously amassing marginal improvements over time. Kaizen, a Japanese concept that calls for continuous improvement has introduced in Ethiopia to strengthen organization performance through productivity and quality improvement. Even though, the interest in Kaizen implementation has been elapsed twenty years officially, the fruits of implementation rarely observed. This paper examines the acceptability and feasibility of Kaizen among organization in Souther...

They have been focusing on achieving productivity gains in their operations by implementing best practices. However, these efforts could not lead to expected benefits. The main reasons for failure in adopting the best practice which it face new environmental scenarios different for which it was created. This paper explores the best practices implementation and challenges encountered during the process of adoption. The research methodology includes a literature review, questionnaire survey and semi-structured interview. The Ethiopian manufacturing firms were sampled for empirical study. The research survey was based on SCOR model best practices. The findings show that most of the respondent firms have shown interests and put efforts to implement some of them. But, the results were below the expectations. The implementation of the best practice has faced different challenges and unav...

Industry practitioners and academics are focusing on developing a modelling tool for this purpose. However, such efforts were unsuccessful. The main reasons for failure are that the existing models are developed and tested based on the experiences of manufacturing firms in the developed world. The nature of the existing firms, their operating and business processes situation in developing countries vary greatly from the manufacturing processes and the surrounding environment in developed countries. However, the absence of an agreed upon, common language and standardised modelling tools for the entire supply chains hampers the global supply chain improvement initiatives. This paper focuses on addressing the issue of a how standardised and widely accepted model, like the SCOR, can be applied despite the different circumstances. The firms’ supply chain characteristics and new requirement for the model adaptation were collected based on the available literature and field analysis results. The research paper results focus on the make and delivery processes for illustration and evaluation.

These create opportunities for the development of different models for supply chain modeling and improvement activities. SCOR model is one of those which consider nowadays as quasi-industrial standard. At the moment, developing countries have realized the benefits and shown an interest for its application. However, supply chains in developing countries are typically long and frag-mented, involving different actors in their production activities. The successful model in the developed nations scenarios may face different challenges in devel-oping countries which do not encountered there. There is, therefore, need to ex-amine the supply chain characteristics of manufacturing industry in the developing countries. A questionnaires survey and semi-structured interview questions were used to collect the current practices based on the SCOR. Based on the survey results analysis, we have indentified the supply chain characteristics. This paper presents the results of the changes related to the Deliver and Source processes. Future work will consider the adaptation of the model with its building blocks.
