Abstract

Project-driven supply chains (PDSCs) integrate offsite and onsite supply chain activities and are used to manage complex projects. However, the risks associated with numerous suppliers in a PDSC pose a threat to project performance. To reduce the impact of supplier risks, this study identifies 24 factors and subfactors, derived from extant literature and expert consultation, that promote supplier resilience—supplier’s ability to reduce their vulnerability or to respond effectively to risks. We also propose an approach to measure supplier resilience and apply to New Product Development and Construction projects. Supplier resilience assessment is carried out using grey relational analysis to handle subjectivity and vagueness involved in human judgments. Results show that supplier resilience is sensitive to project context and can be used by managers to assess and select suppliers based on their resilience capabilities. It also allows managers to anticipate risks and proactively work towards enhancing the resilience of PDSC suppliers.

摘要

项目驱动的供应链 (PDSC) 整合了场外和现场供应链活动，用于管理复杂的项目。然而，与 PDSC 中众多供应商相关的风险对项目绩效构成威胁。为了减少供应商风险的影响，本研究确定了 24 个因素和子因素，这些因素和子因素来自现有的文献和专家咨询，以提高供应商的弹性——供应商降低其脆弱性或有效应对风险的能力。我们还提出了一种衡量供应商弹性并应用于新产品开发和建设项目的方法。供应商弹性评估使用灰色关联分析来处理人为判断中涉及的主观性和模糊性。结果表明，供应商弹性对项目环境敏感，管理者可以根据其弹性能力评估和选择供应商。它还允许管理人员预测风险并积极努力提高 PDSC 供应商的弹性。
