چکیده
This chapter discusses various roles of smart information in Supply Chains (SC) of digital age and tries to answer an important question What types of collaborative arrangements facilitate smart operations to improve planning, production and timely replenishment? We have conducted longitudinal case studies with firms practicing SC collaborations and also using smart information for operations. Based on the case analysis, the companies are further classified as ‘smart planning’ and ‘traditional planning’. Research findings show the importance of aligning SC partnerships based on smart information requirements. These findings are based on case studies of Indian firms with global SC collaboration. We also discuss the role of Big Data for the companies using smart planning. Usha Ramanathan Nottingham Trent University, UK How Smart Operations Help Better Planning and Replenishment
