Background: The animal feed supply chain in South Africa is an important industry that has experienced numerous changes as it evolved. However, not much is known empirically about the dynamics of implementing supply chain management (SCM) in the animal feed industry in specific South African contexts. Objectives: This study investigates the SCM-related factors for growth (enablers), barriers and disruptions within the animal industry in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Method: This study used a qualitative method in which managers drawn from the animal feed industry in the Western Cape Province were interviewed. The collected data were examined using thematic analysis. Results: This study showed that the use of technology to achieve goals, bargaining power of the industry and unity, and procurement and supply chain strategy served as the main SCM enablers. The lack of infrastructure, ineffective change management, health and safety, nature of the industry, and skills and qualifications are the primary barriers hindering the effective implementation of SCM. Economic factors, natural disasters and diseases, and a lack of customer loyalty within the animal feed industry were the main SCM disruptions highlighted in the study. Conclusion: This study provides information regarding the factors (enablers) that deserve attention when developing interventions to improve the performance of the animal feed supply chain. The information on SCM barriers and disruptions is relevant when developing risk management initiatives in the animal feed industry.

南非西开普省动物饲料工业中的供应链管理促成因素,障碍和破坏

背景:南非的动物饲料供应链是一个重要的行业,在发展过程中发生了许多变化。但是,在南非特定环境下,在动物饲料行业中实施供应链管理(SCM)的动力学方面,从经验上了解得很少。目的:本研究调查了南非西开普省动物产业中与SCM相关的生长(启动子),障碍和破坏因素。方法:本研究采用定性方法,采访了来自西开普省动物饲料行业的管理人员。使用主题分析检查收集的数据。结果:这项研究表明,使用技术来实现目标,讨价还价能力和行业团结,采购和供应链战略是SCM的主要推动力。缺乏基础设施,无效的变更管理,健康与安全,行业性质以及技能和资格是阻碍SCM有效实施的主要障碍。经济因素,自然灾害和疾病以及动物饲料行业内缺乏客户忠诚度是该研究强调的主要供应链管理中断。结论:本研究提供了有关制定改善动物饲料供应链绩效的干预措施时应引起注意的因素(促成因素)的信息。在制定动物饲料行业的风险管理计划时,有关SCM障碍和破坏的信息非常重要。健康和安全,行业性质以及技能和资格是阻碍SCM有效实施的主要障碍。经济因素,自然灾害和疾病以及动物饲料行业内缺乏客户忠诚度是该研究强调的主要供应链管理中断。结论:本研究提供了有关制定改善动物饲料供应链绩效的干预措施时应引起注意的因素(促成因素)的信息。在制定动物饲料行业的风险管理计划时,有关SCM障碍和破坏的信息非常重要。健康和安全,行业性质以及技能和资格是阻碍SCM有效实施的主要障碍。经济因素,自然灾害和疾病以及动物饲料行业内缺乏客户忠诚度是该研究强调的主要供应链管理中断。结论:本研究提供了有关制定改善动物饲料供应链绩效的干预措施时应引起注意的因素(促成因素)的信息。在制定动物饲料行业的风险管理计划时,有关SCM障碍和破坏的信息非常重要。这项研究强调了主要的供应链管理中断,以及动物饲料行业缺乏客户忠诚度。结论:本研究提供了有关制定改善动物饲料供应链绩效的干预措施时应引起注意的因素(促成因素)的信息。在制定动物饲料行业的风险管理计划时,有关SCM障碍和破坏的信息非常重要。这项研究强调了主要的供应链管理中断,以及动物饲料行业缺乏客户忠诚度。结论:本研究提供了有关制定改善动物饲料供应链绩效的干预措施时应引起注意的因素(促成因素)的信息。在制定动物饲料行业的风险管理计划时,有关SCM障碍和破坏的信息非常重要。
