Multiple enterprises are usually involved in supply chain network, while almost each enterprise has its own information systems and databases (enterprise legacy systems). There are large quantities of information and data intersecting or even repeating with each other, which calls for system integration. Meanwhile in the cooperative process of supply chain, the whole product line or product fam...

Sustainability has always been a concern of humankind in one form or the other. Still, it come into sharper focus after promulgation sustainable development goals 2015 and disruptive forces unleashed by COVID-19 pandemic. Supply chain management is an aspect business operations wherein need for sustainability felt more keenly. The academic understanding various nuances incorporating sustainabil...

The purpose of this research is to test the innovativeness impact on supply chain (SC) performance by using mediating effect SC integration, as well taking into account moderating information system capability in manufacturing sector small and medium enterprises (SMEs) South Punjab Pakistan. based a survey questionnaire. Non-probability convenience sampling was used, 251 responses were collecte...

Fractal property of the knowledge of supply chain is confirmed, and the concept of fractal integration is presented. And the knowledge of supply chain is fractal integrated by building modularization fractal knowledge integration network independent of the organization structure. The process of fractal integration of the knowledge is divided into five stages: acquisition, transition, applicatio...

This paper is based on the findings from the project funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Poland. It presents the application of value stream mapping in supply chains and some inadequacy of this method for supply chain integration. Based on the findings, a new Supplier Customer Production process Integration SCPI methodology is proposed. The paper presents problems with int...

Since the middle of the 1990’s, the researchers and people within the construction industry have moved towards Supply Chain Management (SCM) philosophy in order to make construction industry more effective and more efficient. The main driver behind the adoption of this philosophy was the successes within other industry sectors. SCM can be defined as network of different organisations, linked up...

Streamlining information flows across the physical supply chain is crucial for successful supply chain management. This study examines different structures of e-networks (i.e., virtual supply chains linked via electronic information and communication technologies) and their maximum capabilities to gain e-network benefits. Further, this research explores four levels of e-network integration base...

Based on the research project titled “AdaptivePlanningandControlofSupplyChaininOne-of-a-kind Production”, the research group performed a systematicreview ofsupply chain integration, riskprediction and control and traceability. Studies of a computer-aided and integrated production system for cost-effective OKP systemare included. Our efforts relevant to integration of supply chain in OKP, modeli...

Information integration and total supply chain visibility are viewed as integral parts for supply chain excellence. Real time and accurate information on the status of goods in a supply chain requires the integration of several evolving technologies that enable tracking of items, cartons, totes, containers, trucks, ships, rails, and other conveyances continuously. In this article, we examine tr...
