| Abstract | The aim of this study is to examine the role of additive manufacturing (industry 4.0) and supply chain management in improving supply chain performance. In this research, the supply flexibility has been investigated through the lens of RBV, and in this regard, contributions have been made to the existing literature on flexibility in supply chains. By recognising the role of resources in the flexibility of supply, the supply flexibility concept has been developed. The two distinct dimensions of supply flexibility were investigated: supply network flexibility and supplier flexibility. The complications in the network of the supplier can be explored with the instruments developed for supply flexibility. This can provide a great understanding of the contribution of supply flexibility in achieving competitive advantage. It is interesting to know whether the improvements in supply flexibility create an influence on product development and manufacturing flexibility. The SEM-PLS is used to analyse the data. The findings of the study have provided support to the hypothesised results. DKSH Thailand is taken as a final sample of the study. The results of the study have shown the relationship between supply flexibility, SC management and SC performance. It has been found that the current performance of the companies can be improved in the uncertain and dynamic business environment by linking the capabilities of supply network flexibility and practices of SC management. The industry 4.0 appeared as moderator. |
