採購與供應鏈管理中的公共指標 —現狀評估和潛在改進

Abstract

無

Due to globally disruptive events in recent years supply chain bottlenecks have gained attention. Supply and production chains are the backbone of the economy. Furthermore, procurement and supply chain management are of increasing importance to businesses. Whilst the Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) has been researched extensively by economists, no source could be found that summarizes the status quo of all publicly accessible indices in this field and/or assesses them. The following research questions are addressed: 1. What does the status quo of public indices in procurement and supply chain management look like? What indices are available and how can they be classified? Are there any initial ideas to cover blatant gaps or to make obvious improvements? 2. How do these indices generally differ from the Purchasing Manager’s Index? 3. What criteria can be used to assess the quality and added value of such indices for practitioners? 4. Considering the current state of research, how do the Purchasing Manager’s Index, Logistics Manager’s Index as well as the Global Supply Chain Pressure Index fair under these criteria? In total 16 indices in Procurement, Logistics & SCM and Supply Chain Risk Management could be identified. As of now, the PMI dominates the field and gives actionable insights for practitioners. The LMI is of interest for logistics specifically. The GSCPI provides a straightforward overview on top of the PMI. Private service providers can use their data to create unique indices. There is a lack of indices depicting sustainability risk development.
