Abstract
Competitive advantage and understanding of the environment greatly affect competitiveness in an environment that demands to compete. Competence essentially aims to give effect to the development of the company. Achieving competitive advantage is based on the ability to innovate, integrity of work culture, and operational performance. This competitive advantage will change if the competitive environment changes as well. Environmental monitoring is assessed on the importance of success on the six forces of threats of newcomers, competition between existing companies, product threats or replacement services, buyer bargaining power, supplier bargaining power, and relative strengths of other stakeholders.
One of the activities that can affect the performance of competing companies in meeting the demands of customers is the supply chain system (Supply chain). The supply chain is all about everything that is directly or indirectly related to customer demand fulfilment. The supply chain is dynamic and involves a constant stream of information, products, and funds at different stages. The adaptation of one structure causes changes in the other related structures. The changing conditions of competition and increasing levels of environmental turbulence and requirement for organisations to become more responsive to the needs of customers, is driving interest in the concept of supply chain agility.
Agility in a supply chain is the ability of the supply chain as a whole and its members to rapidly align the network and its operations to dynamic and turbulent requirements of the customers. Agile supply chain attributes are customer sensitivity, virtual integration, process integration, Network based, supplier, market, product, facilities, products, services, delivery time, cost and information.
