Many organisations have realised significant benefits after implementing best supply chain practices and there are important lessons to be learnt across industry sectors, including in the airline catering industry. The airline catering industry is facing intense pressure to improve its service performance. An appropriate evaluation of supply chain practices will help in implementing effective practices to strengthen competitive position. This paper presents a conceptual model and methodology for assessing the effectiveness of supply chain practices in the airline catering industry, using fuzzy logic. The model is developed primarily from performance attributes, practice categories and supply chain practices specified in the SCOR framework. A supply chain practice effectiveness index is computed using the model, which reflects the current practice status of an airline catering supply chain. The model is illustrated using a case study. The methodology also helps in identifying weak performing practices. Areas of future work are suggested.

Existing studies suggest that the level of digitalisation amongst Tunisian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is low. Tunisian SMEs lack the resources and capabilities needed to implement digital technologies. Furthermore, the literature argues that digitalisation offers unprecedented opportunities for SMEs, making digitalisation more than fundamental for their survival and growth. The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the relationship between digitalisation and performance, in the context of Tunisian SMEs. Based on a firm-level dataset of 466 SMEs, the results indicate that digitalisation is positively related to firms' performance. This positive relationship is linked with the firm's engagement within a global digitalisation strategy, where it considers digitalisation as being an integral part of its business and activities. The paper gives several policy recommendations to support the digital transformation of SMEs in Tunisia.
