چکیده
Global competition and technological innovation have been key drivers for change in how organizations do business. The implementation of Supply chain management systems (SCMs) based on business-to-business (B2B) electronic commerce have been tested by corporations such as Cisco and Seven Eleven Japan. Although hardware/software architectures for such implementations are widely studied, there has been little research on enhancing the reliability of the supply chain management systems. This study evaluates two topologies for reliable communications between collaborators in an SCM system.
