Understanding The Role Of Logistics Capabilities In Achieving Supply Chain Agility: A Systematic Literature Review

---

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of logistics capabilities in achieving supply chain agility through a multi-disciplinary review
of the relevant research. The systematic literature review aims to provide the basis for formulating a conceptual framework of the relationship.
Design/methodology/approach – A systematic, comprehensive review of the literature on manufacturing, organizational and supply chain agility
from 1991 through 2010 was conducted. The literature on logistics capabilities was also examined to identify the various elements that contribute to
supply chain agility.
Findings – Supply chain agility has primarily been explored in the literature through a focus on manufacturing flexibility, supply chain speed, or lean
manufacturing. The role of logistics capabilities in achieving supply chain agility has not been addressed from a holistic conceptual perspective. This
research addresses that gap using a multi-disciplinary approach. As such, it is the first phase in theory building on the concept of supply chain agility.
Further research is needed to empirically test the conceptualized relationships.
Research limitations/implications – This research is a systematic, integrative review of the existing literature on the concept of agility and logistics
capabilities. As such, the next phase of research needed for theory building will be the operationalization of constructs and testing of the hypothesized
relationships proposed by the conceptual framework.
Practical implications – The level of agility in a supply chain can determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the collective efforts. It is important
that firms become more knowledgeable about the role of logistics capabilities in achieving agility.
Originality/value – Through a systematic, comprehensive review of the literature in four distinct areas, the paper explores the relationship between
logistics capabilities and supply chain agility.
