Most of the issues of current supply chain management practices are related to the challenges of interoperability of relevant enterprise information systems (EIS). In this paper, we present the ontological framework for semantic interoperability of EISs in supply chain networks, based on Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model, its semantic enrichment and mappings with relevant enterpris...

In the past few decades various industries have adopted new information systems and supply chain management techniques. Unfortunately, although many industries saw significant gains, the health care industry—both large hospitals and small private practices—are slow to consider new technologies. According to the Health Care Information Technology Model (HCIT) and the Supply Chain Operations Refe...

The supply chain process optimization (SCPO) is to further coordinate or redesign processes of supply chain in order to achieve the strategic target of organization. SCPO is discussed from the view of system engineering in this paper. Based on the supply-chain operations reference (SCOR) model, a system model for SCPO is proposed by integrating various supply chain optimization approaches. This...

Knowledge management (KM) plays a key role in the success of several enterprise systems, such as supply chain management (SCM). This paper discusses knowledge-enabled supply chain management (K-SCM) as it enhances the organizations’ expertise in SCM. We propose a framework that integrates KM processes with SCM components. We developed an audit methodology that can be performed to assess the org...

The implementation of electronic procurement processes for product-service bundles, consisting of productand service components requires a consideration of strategic, tactical and operational procurement and information and communication technologies in value networks. In the past, the scientific discussion oriented on traditional procurement processes for products and technology-solutions. Inc...

Abstract Nowadays, we produce and consume a large volume of products giving insufficient regard to what happens the before, during after use or consumption. Globally roughly one-third food produced is lost wasted each year. As world population per-capita income increase, problem gets worse. This lifestyle based on “linear” economy has become untenable, therefore adoption system business process...
