Abstract

Specific transformation approaches for the contemporary supply chain can be configured by juxtaposing its building blocks in view of the business drivers of today including market-volatility, technology, and globalization. While building blocks such as modularization and flexibility address market responsiveness, tracking and drop-shipping building blocks help enhance rapid fulfillment. Companies must be able to identify appropriate building blocks and apply them strategically. The intent is to design flexible and responsive supply chains that are capable of shifting back and forth between the complexity of customization and the simplicity of standardization.
