Combining with the collaborations between business customers and suppliers, traditional purchasing and logistics functions have evolved into a broader concept of materials and distribution management, namely, supply chain management (SCM) (Tan, 2001). This chapter reviews the literature of SCM from several paths that can be the basis of a proposed framework for SCM within academic and manageria...

In the era of economic globalization, the competition of product in the market does not depend on a certain enterprise. The traditional competition among different enterprises has transitioned to the competition among different supply chains. In order to win in the global competition, enterprises tend to implement supply chain process reengineering to enhance the coordination among all supply c...

Supply chain modelling is an important part of any supply chain improvement initiative. This paper argues that understanding the dynamic behaviour of supply chains is essential to evaluate the impact of adopting different supply chain strategies. Simulation is a key technique for the study of the dynamics of supply chain systems. In recent times a number of simulation systems have emerged that ...

Capabilities define competitive advantages an organization possesses, and attaining desired capabilities is a challenging task. This paper proposes to use reference models as a basis for the capability design, and it focuses on usage of the SCOR model for designing supply chain management capabilities. The paper outlines a method for the reference model based capability design. The method relie...

Severalmetrics in the supply chain performance assessment system cannot be uncovered by merely putting a strategy into action. Meanwhile, balanced scorecard strategynecessitates incorporation of numerous measures derived from implementation strategies,ultimately guidingthe business towardits long-term orientation. The same is true for evaluating effectiveness chain. Business Service Chain (BSC)...

This paper presents a universal framework for pricing financial and insurance risks. Examples are given for pricing contingent payoffs, where the underlying asset or liability can be either traded or not traded. The paper also outlines an application of the framework to prescribe capital allocations within insurance companies, and to determine fair values of insurance liabilities. 1 SCOR Reinsu...

The paper makes the first steps towards a methodology to assess frameworks for business process analysis and information system design. The assessment instrument will be designed based on key elements of architectural frameworks such as Isa, Cim-Osa and Pera. Four major frameworks will be discussed: Isa-S95, Oagis, Scor and Cpfr.
