Considering the many articles published on supply chain management, the question is, what are the most cited? Because the topic is so popular in academic research, this is a difficult question to answer. But, cocitation analysis can be used to narrow down the field. We were able to identify the most popular supply chain articles using the cocitation of a Supply Chain Management Association database. The International Journal of Supply Chain Management had the highest number of citations with 25,476. According to the most-cited article, the citations are divided into five categories. The order of the citations is not very predictable, since the International Journal of Supply Chain Management has a much higher citation count than most other journals.
Amazon's supply chain practices are the most widely cited article and the one that best reflects the research. Amazon is a company that connects buyers and sellers. The objective of this review is to discover what works, and what doesn’t. The article describes the pitfalls and opportunities Amazon faces and suggests some solutions.
Cross-sectional analysis of supply chain risks resulting in poor performance is the most commonly cited article. This study employs panel and regression data to examine the impact of supply risk on performance. It is no easy feat. The results are impressive. Particularly, the study shows that supply-chain risk management is the best option to improve long-term performance. This also has implications for other areas in corporate life such as procurement or customer service.
Not only is the most-cited article of the same quality, but so are other notable achievements. There are many publications in the Supply Chain Management Association databases, so it is no surprise that journals with the highest citations tend to be the same. The International Journal of Supply Chain Management (the flagship journal of Supply Chain Management Association) has the highest number of citations with 25,476. This is more than twice the number of citations in the sister journal of the Supply Chain Management Association, the International Journal of Logistics Research and Applications.
FAQ
What is the difference between Production Planning, Scheduling and Production Planning?
Production Planning (PP) is the process of determining what needs to be produced at any given point in time. This can be done by forecasting demand and identifying production capabilities.
Scheduling involves the assignment of dates and times to tasks in order to complete them within the timeframe.
Is automation necessary in manufacturing?
Not only is automation important for manufacturers, but it's also vital for service providers. It allows them to offer services faster and more efficiently. They can also reduce their costs by reducing human error and improving productivity.
Why automate your factory?
Automation has become increasingly important in modern warehousing. The rise of e-commerce has led to increased demand for faster delivery times and more efficient processes.
Warehouses need to adapt quickly to meet changing needs. They must invest heavily in technology to do this. Automating warehouses is a great way to save money. Here are some of the reasons automation is worth your investment:
-
Increases throughput/productivity
-
Reduces errors
-
Accuracy is improved
-
Safety is boosted
-
Eliminates bottlenecks
-
Companies can scale up more easily
-
Workers are more productive
-
The warehouse can be viewed from all angles.

How To
How to use 5S to increase Productivity in Manufacturing
5S stands for "Sort", 'Set In Order", 'Standardize', & Separate>. The 5S methodology was developed at Toyota Motor Corporation in 1954. It assists companies in improving their work environments and achieving higher efficiency.
This approach aims to standardize production procedures, making them predictable, repeatable, and easily measurable. This means that tasks such as cleaning, sorting, storing, packing, and labeling are performed daily. These actions allow workers to perform their job more efficiently, knowing what to expect.
There are five steps to implementing 5S, including Sort, Set In Order, Standardize, Separate and Store. Each step is a different action that leads to greater efficiency. If you sort items, it makes them easier to find later. When items are ordered, they are put together. After you have divided your inventory into groups you can store them in easy-to-reach containers. Finally, label all containers correctly.
Employees must be able to critically examine their work practices. Employees need to be able understand their motivations and discover alternative ways to do them. They will need to develop new skills and techniques in order for the 5S system to be implemented.
The 5S Method not only improves efficiency, but it also helps employees to be more productive and happier. They will feel motivated to strive for higher levels of efficiency once they start to see results.
