  • Managing risks in just-in-sequence supply networks: Exploratory evidence from automakers
    Item type: Journal Article
    Wagner, Stephan M.; Silveira-Camargos, Victor (2012)
    IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management
    Todays automakers are under an enormous price and cost pressure arising from both increasing competition and complexity of operations. One way to deal with this challenge is to outsource value creation to the supply network (SN), which then assumes the responsibility for producing variant-specific modules and delivering them just-in-sequence (JIS). This results in tightly coupled buyer-supplier relationships that operate with short reaction times and are characterized by high time dependency and minimal buffers. It increases the risk exposure of buyers to disturbances in their SNs and failures propagate quickly, causing production disruptions. Based on data collected at 14 car-manufacturing plants located in Germany, this research provides an overview and exploratory evidence of current JIS market practice and proposes ways of actively managing the risks inherent in JIS SNs. © 2006 IEEE.
  • Fintech Development and Firm Technological Innovation Efficiency: Empirical Findings in China
    Item type: Journal Article
    Xu, Yong; Yuan, Ling; Lee, Hyoungsuk; et al. (2024)
    IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management
    As a new combination of finance and technology, fintech not only makes people's daily life more convenient but also brings new opportunities for firm growth. Yet, although multiple parties in society have benefited tremendously from the development of fintech, its actual impact on FTIE remains unclear. For this purpose, we adopted a two-way fixed-effect model and considered the data of A-share-listed companies from 2011 to 2019 to analyze the impact of fintech development on FTIE in China and its associated mechanism. We found that fintech development negatively affected FTIE by increasing business risks and debt pressures through risk transmission and regulatory arbitrage, respectively. This finding remains robust after using instrumental variable tests and adopting Poisson and Tobin regression models. Furthermore, such negative impacts are higher for firms in the eastern region, nonmanufacturing firms, and state-owned enterprises. Our findings contribute significantly to the literature on technological innovation and financial regulation by shedding light on the negative impacts of the dominating fintech development on FTIE.
  • Bonus or Penalty? Designing Service-Level Agreements for a Decentralized Supply Chain: The Implication of Return on Investment
    Item type: Journal Article
    Woerner, Stefan; Wagner, Stephan M.; Chu, Yueshan; et al. (2024)
    IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management
    We study the coordination of two-echelon supply chains via service level-dependent bonus and penalty contracts and assume that the manufacturer maximizes its profit while enabling the supplier to achieve its performance target. Profit and return on investment (ROI) are considered as the supplier's performance measures. We compute optimal contract parameters and perform a numerical study. In addition, we perform a simulation-based study to analyze the profit risk of the considered parties. For supplier profit targets, bonus and penalty contracts lead to the same profit for both parties, but bonus contracts lead to lower costs, hence, a higher ROI. For supplier ROI targets, bonus contracts always lead to higher manufacturer profit, and no optimal penalty contracts exist. For every contract service level, optimal bonus contracts exist that maximize profit and ROI of the manufacturer simultaneously. Thus, we analyze the profit risk for the manufacturer and the supplier and show that it can be significantly reduced by setting an appropriate contract service level. The manufacturer usually should prefer bonus contracts. They allow to optimize profit and ROI simultaneously and even offer an additional degree of freedom to reduce the profit risk.

  • A Supply Chain Perspective on Product Safety Risk
    Item type: Journal Article
    Schumacher, Roman; Klöckner, Maximilian; Wagner, Stephan M.; et al. (2025)
    IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management
    This study investigates the relationship between supply chain complexity, operational efficiency, and product safety risk. We consider three different dimensions of supply chain complexity-horizontal, technological, and spatial complexity-and examine their effect on product safety risk, proxied by severe product recalls. We also examine the effect of operational efficiency in this context. Our analysis is based on regression modeling, using financial, supply chain, and recall data from the medical device industry. Our findings indicate that all three dimensions of supply chain complexity increase product safety risk and that operational efficiency reduces product safety risk. We also provide evidence that operational efficiency serves as a critical moderator for the relationship between supply chain complexity and product safety risk. Given the increasing frequency of high-profile recalls caused by product failures in upstream supply chains, our study makes a timely contribution to the operations management literature.
