In today\u2019s decentralized supply chains, companies increasingly depend on their suppliers for value creation. Hence, understanding the causes and consequences of sourcing flexibility is critical. Based on a survey of 336 companies from Europe and the U.S., we show that sourcing flexibility is curvilinearly (U-shaped) related to supply chain performance. Companies with either low or high levels of sourcing flexibility exhibit high supply chain performance, whereas medium levels of sourcing flexibility reduce a company\u2019s supply chain performance by up to 30%. That is, the \u201cstuck in the middle\u201d phenomenon, which is frequently observed in areas of strategy and organization, is evident in procurement decisions as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":97925,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[80138],"product_cat":[79304],"topic":[],"technology":[],"knowhow":[],"industry":[],"writer":[81632,81701,81319],"content-type":[],"potential":[],"solution":[67610],"glossary":[],"class_list":["post-90455","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","tag-supply-chain-management-en","product_cat-articles","writer-pan-theo-grosse-ruyken-en","writer-ruben-joenke-en","writer-stephan-m-wagner-en","solution-logistik-en","product","first","instock","downloadable","virtual","sold-individually","taxable","purchasable","product-type-article"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788.jpg",1400,788,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-666x375.jpg",666,375,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-768x432.jpg",768,432,true],"large":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-1024x576.jpg",1020,574,true],"front-page-entry":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-1032x320.jpg",1032,320,true],"post-entry":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-764x376.jpg",764,376,true],"post-teaser":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-392x320.jpg",392,320,true],"post-teaser-mobile":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-608x496.jpg",608,496,true],"post-custom-size":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-640x325.jpg",640,325,true],"whitepaper-teaser":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-274x376.jpg",274,376,true],"card-big":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-514x292.jpg",514,292,true],"card-portrait":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-320x440.jpg",320,440,true],"card-big-company":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-514x289.jpg",514,289,true],"gp-listing":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-196x180.jpg",196,180,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788.jpg",1400,788,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788.jpg",1400,788,false],"woocommerce_thumbnail":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-510x510.jpg",510,510,true],"woocommerce_single":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-510x287.jpg",510,287,true],"woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-100x100.jpg",100,100,true],"dgwt-wcas-product-suggestion":["https:\/\/industry-science.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/grosse-ruyken_IM3-2010_4c-8-1400x788-64x36.jpg",64,36,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Christoph Brocks","author_link":"https:\/\/industry-science.com\/en\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Sourcing flexibility, i.e., the capability of a company\u2019s procurement processes to respond rapidly to changing supply requirements is one of the building blocks of supply chain agility.
