PublicationKünstliche Intelligenz in der Supply Chain: Wie Unternehmen die richtige KI-Lösung identifizieren und ihre Supply Chain optimieren.Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) wird das Potenzial zugesprochen, das Supply Chain Management (SCM) grundlegend zu verändern. Da KI eine vielverspre chende Lösung zur Analyse grosser Datenmengen, präzisen Vorhersagen und Optimierung der Effizienz in der Supply Chain darstellt, hat dies zu einer ver stärkten Auseinandersetzung mit den Möglichkeiten dieser Technologie geführt. Vor dem Hintergrund der dargelegten Entwicklungen wurde diese Untersuchung initiiert, um verschiedene KI-Lösungen im SCM zu analysieren und deren spezifische Anwendungsgebiete zu identifizieren.Type: journal articleJournal: Lagersysteme der ZukunftVolume: 1

PublicationEmpirical Insights in Multi-Tier Supply Chain Financing Strategies( 2024-03-25)This study presents an empirical investigation into multi-tier supply chain financing strategies, focusing on deep-tier financing mechanisms to foster financial stability and resilience across supply chains. Through a directed qualitative content analysis of grey literature, I explore structural arrangements of multi-tier supply chain management, including closed, open, and transitional triads, and their implications on financial flows. The study underscores the importance of extending financial strategies beyond first-tier suppliers to include SMEs, highlighting the necessity for inclusive financing approaches in mitigating disruptions in complex supply chains. This research contributes to both academic knowledge and practical applications in supply chain finance, offering insights into the development of resilient financial frameworks for supply chains.Type: conference paper

PublicationA configurational model for financing the upstream supply chain network( 2023-06-16)This research aims to examine the pertinent attributes of supply chain networks that impact upstream supply chain financing, while also creating a model that elucidates these attributes from the perspective of buying companies during the implementation of supply chain financing. To achieve this, the study employs a comprehensive review of existing literature on supply chain financing, yielding insights into the relevant characteristics of supply chain networks that are influential in facilitating financing for upstream suppliers. Moreover, the study provides an extensive comprehension of these characteristics and their interdependencies, accompanied by exemplary approaches to specific configurations of these characteristics. The findings of this study have significant implications for buying companies, as they offer a foundation for the development of more effective approaches to supplier financing at lower levels of the supply chain. By incorporating these identified characteristics, buying companies can enhance overall supply chain resilience and efficiency. Consequently, the study fills a critical knowledge gap by shedding light on the domain of supplier financing at lower levels of the supply chain, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of supply chain financing dynamics.Type: conference paper

PublicationBroadening the purposive scope of supply chain financing: Insights from a focus group of anchor corporations( 2023-04-05)The purpose of supply chain financing is evolving from a tool for cost-efficient management of working capital towards an instrument for purpose-driven supply chain management. Sustainable and resilient considerations are increasingly being incorporated into financing arrangements, while digitalization offers opportunities to engage small and medium-sized suppliers in the upstream supply chain. Our research, conducted through multiple focus groups, reveals how large buying companies can leverage purposive usage. While supply chain financing is increasingly becoming a holistic instrument for addressing specific purposes relating to direct suppliers, expanding the impact of supply chain finance to upstream suppliers remains a challenge.Type: conference paper

PublicationArtificial Intelligence in Supply Chain Management - Between Aspiration and RealityAs Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize industries worldwide, its omnipresence becomes increasingly evident in Supply Chain Management (SCM). This Consortium Study, conducted by the Institute of Supply Chain Management (ISCM-HSG) at the University of St.Gallen and its promotional association, examines the integration of AI in SCM and aims to address the gap between expectations and reality. The study provides a knowledge foundation to assist supply chain managers in developing realistic expectations of this technology. Considering the rapid advancement of AI technologies and their potential impact on SCM, this study explores the current state of AI in SCM and analyzes the disparity between expectations and reality. Through a comprehensive market analysis of AI solutions offered in SCM, opportunities for improvement are identified. The study focuses on aligning expectations and reality by fostering a better understanding of the capabilities of AI in SCM. Additionally, the study investigates obstacles to successful AI integration, including data quality, integration challenges, and unrealistic expectations of potential benefits. Through the collaborative efforts of the participating organizations, this Consortium Study offers a collective understanding of the current state of AI in SCM. It serves as a valuable resource for industry professionals, and academia facilitating the successful integration of AI and driving operational excellence in SCM.

PublicationA conceptual approach to systematizing mechanisms for financing cash-strapped suppliers in supply networks( 2023-07-19)Multi-tier Supply Chain Financing (MTSCF) has been identified as a compelling solution to support the growth and development of small and cash-strapped suppliers, particularly in developing countries. Currently, the research focus on MTSCF is primarily on its technological function, which is based on blockchain technology. However, from a technology-agnostic perspective, MTSCF combines multi-tiered supply chain management with the concept of SCF, which essentially describes the approaches of extending financing mechanisms to the deeper levels of supply chains. In this presentation, existing MTSCF mechanisms are differentiated to develop a systematic framework that can be used to categorize the mechanisms. In this way, the basis for further developing innovative MTSCF solutions is providedType: conference speech
