    Identification and modelling of factors influencing service recovery
    (Inder Science, 2024-04) Sharma, Satyendra Kumar; Chanda, Udayan
    All supply chain around the world are established with an aim of reducing customer order cycle time, drive customer value and facilitate financial success. This also results in implementing effective service recovery strategies to achieve these goals. This paper identifies and analyses various factors which influences and contributes to service recovery process by exploring the existing literature on service recovery. Based on these factors, decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method is illustrated to precisely measure causal relations between all factors and define the processes influencing these factors. The results of this study state that proactive recovery capability, communication from suppliers in form of early warnings, focus on service outcome failures and moment of truth are the key enabling factors for service recovery, while customer commitment level, original cost and placing inventory close to customers are the most direct influencing factors

    Capital budgeting practices: a survey in the selected Indian manufacturing firms
    (IDEAS is a RePEc, 2019) Chadha, Saurabh; Sharma, Satyendra Kumar
    The purpose of this study is to investigate the capital budgeting practices prevalent in the selected Indian manufacturing firms. The study also determines the factors which sample firms consider for the ascertainment of their cost of capital. Further, the study throws a light on some of the issues which led to the ignorance of scientific evaluation techniques of project appraisal. The study was conducted with the help of survey method. The findings of the survey show that payback period method and NPV method are the two most popular techniques of capital budgeting in the Indian manufacturing sector. Although, the overall weightage of the non-discounting technique is more when compared to the discounting methods. It was also found that WACC is the most used method to determine the cost of capital in the sample firms. Thus, this study provides a useful insight of capital budgeting practices of Indian manufacturing firms. The study will be helpful for investors who are looking to invest in Indian manufacturing sector under the Make in India program and it is the first study of its kind which covers the ignorance aspect of the capital budgeting techniques.

    Retail Location Decision Using an Integrated DEMATEL-ANP method: Retail Location
    (IGI Global, 2018) Sharma, Satyendra Kumar; Routroy, Srikanta
    This study focuses on developing a model for making retail location decisions which addresses the limitations of existing methods. The integrated DEMATEL-ANP method used here successfully accounts for interdependencies between the selected criteria. After reviewing the existing methods for decision making, the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation (DEMATEL) and the Analytical Network Process (ANP) methods were chosen. DEMATEL evaluates the degrees of influence the criteria have on each other. ANP is used to assign weights to criteria and the sub-criteria, and eventually derive the weights for the alternative locations. The integrated model helps prioritize among the available alternatives based on scientific methods, much more reliable than intuition and experience based methods still practiced today. Adopting this method can help retail chains make more informed decisions. This is the first time an integrated DEMATEL-ANP method has been applied in the context of retail location decision.

    Risk Management in Construction Projects
    (Sage, 2011-07) Sharma, Satyendra Kumar
    Risks are unavoidable in almost every construction project whether it is building projects, civil works, or any other type of construction projects. Risk is inherent in all human endeavors, including construction activities, and the risk factors involved are diverse and varied. Managing construction project risks is considered as compulsory for any project to be successful. Thus, this study aims to identify and classify the types of construction project risks, to evaluate the level of construction project risks and finally, to identify the methods available to reduce or mitigate the construction project risks. This study also demonstrates a quantitative approach to Construction Risk Management through Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The entire methodology is explained through a case study of the Delhi metro bridge collapse and its effectiveness in building a speedy and well judged response is demonstrated.

    Risk Management in Construction Projects Using Combined Analytic Hierarchy Process and Risk Map Framework
    (SSRN, 2014-07) Sharma, Satyendra Kumar
    This paper aims at developing a risk management framework for project risk management in construction projects and demonstrate its application in an ongoing construction project in Amravati, Maharashtra, India. The various risk factors encountered in construction projects and various risk management methods already in use are identified and then a framework is developed which combines the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and risk map methods. The data was collected from various stakeholders in the construction project. The findings reveal that the proposed framework helps managers to objectively find out the most important risk factor associated with the project and accordingly work towards risk minimization.

    An Empirical Study on Supply Chain Risk Management Strategies in Indian Automobile Industry
    (SSRN, 2015-08) Sharma, Satyendra Kumar; Bhat, Anil Kumar; Routroy, Srikanta
    Supply chain disruptions, major or minor, have affected supply chains negatively. Literature shows that supply chain disruptions also lead to reduction in shareholder value. Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) has become a concern for boardrooms, and companies have started to think how they can better manage their supply chains to survive and continue operations. This paper provides insights into SCRM in Indian automobile sector. Strategies used to deal with supply chain risks are explored in this paper. First a taxonomy is suggested based on the review of the extant literature, i.e., proactive strategies, coping strategies, aligning strategies, early warning strategies and survival strategies. These strategies are then empirically tested in the context of Indian automobile industry. A total SCRM strategy index is calculated and the status of Indian automobile industry in SCRM is discussed.
