Abstract

In today’s business world, financial constraints are one of the most important reasons for supply chain failures. In such an environment, supply and demand mismatch, lack of cash flow, and inventory shortage lead to poor financial performance. This study proposes a framework to develop a system dynamics model of multi-echelon supply chains called the ‘SSB model’, with financial attributes and ordering policies to explore how payment delays affect financial performance. The SSB model was tested in grocery distribution in Morocco using system dynamics. From this study, the authors have identified how payment delays affect supply chain surplus, cash in hand, and supply chain coordination. Moreover, the study addresses how payment delays influence the financial performance of the entire supply chain. Practitioners and researchers can refer to this study to make better decisions in supply chain transactions.

摘要

在当今的商业世界中，财务限制是供应链失败的最重要原因之一。在这样的环境下，供需不匹配、现金流不足、存货短缺导致财务表现不佳。本研究提出了一个框架来开发称为“SSB 模型”的多级供应链系统动力学模型，该模型具有财务属性和订购政策，以探索付款延迟如何影响财务绩效。SSB 模型使用系统动力学在摩洛哥的杂货配送中进行了测试。通过这项研究，作者确定了付款延迟如何影响供应链盈余、手头现金和供应链协调。此外，该研究还探讨了付款延迟如何影响整个供应链的财务绩效。
