    This document provides a literature review of 4 articles on supply chain modelling. It analyzes the differences between supply chain mapping and modelling, and recommends using "mapping" for the final thesis project. It also assesses two methods for measuring supply chain sustainability - VC4D and Rapfish - and concludes that Rapfish is more suitable, though some aspects of VC4D should also be considered. The goal of the project is to create a clear understanding of the supply chain system in Bangka Belitung province to help identify opportunities for improvement.

    Supply Chain Modelling
    Literature Review

    This paper is a review for 4 articles written on the previous SOTA Table made by the writer as a
    step to comprehend the topic of Supply Chain Modelling for the final thesis. This review will be
    delivered in 2 sections, describing thoroughly both differences and similarities from the articles
    focusing on Mapping, Modelling, and Sustainability. The discussion will also be followed by
    self-recommendation for the writers about what insight should be best taken into the further
    research.

    1. Mapping Vs. Modelling, which one is more suitable ?


    While reading the text from MacCarthy et al., 2022 and Batubara, 2017, writer found similarities
    between the graph that is being called as “Map” and “Model”. Those two terms are described by a
    set of entities involved in the supply chain system connected with a line. However, the map by
    MacCarthy seems to have inconsistency in describing WHO are the actors and HOW are they
    connected to each other. One map is illustrated in a more complex way with the information
    about each entity’s tier, while the other more simple one only consists of the entity and the flow line
    for material and information. On the other hand, the supply chain model by Batubara only
    represents entities and lines without any explanation of the flow types in between.

    According to an article by Min, modelling in the supply chain is an activity of making a model to be
    proposed in order to improve the current supply chain system. A model in the supply chain can be
    generated with a specific method or even using IT-related tools so that the objectives (e.g. cost
    efficiency, lead time minimization) can be achieved. Meanwhile, a supply chain mapping, on the
    other hand, is defined by Roberts as an activity of creating a clear picture of the current supply
    chain system. Mapping also helps the organization to raise awareness about how a decision in the
    management would impact each stakeholder.

    Based on the above analysis, writer decided to choose “Mapping” as the right term to use for the
    topic of the final thesis as the main goal of the project is to help the region gain a clear
    understanding about how their supply chain system really works. Moreover, understanding
    their own supply chain management will open a lot of opportunities for improvement later on, and
    that is how the process of making a supply chain model will come in.

    2. Assessing Sustainability
    A mapping will be useless if it can lead the Bangka Belitung province to sustainability practice. By
    creating the SOTA table before, it is clear that two articles by Ivonne Acosta-Alba, et al., 2022 and
    by Batubara, 2017 provide some information about how to assess the supply chain sustainability,
    namely the VC4D and Rapfish analysis. However, both of those methods surprisingly shared a
    similar focus, those are economic, social, environmental, and functional. The only difference
    between the two methods is Rapfish separates the resources and technological aspects instead
    of keeping them as one in the functional assessment.

    According to those references, it can be concluded that Rapfish appears to be the more suitable
    one for the measurement of sustainability in the context of writer's final thesis. While VC4D is a
    guideline developed by the European Commission and done in Gambia and Mali, the Rapfish
    analysis by Batubara is done in Maluku which increases the chance of similarities in most
    aspects for the Bangka Belitung project that will be conducted by the writer. However, some
    additional features from the research done by Ivonne, especially about the flooding stages for
    every season in the area should be considered in the writer’s research so that the analysis can
    be more accurate that it will benefit the people of Bangka Belitung even more.
