One of the first tools in this area is the forecasting portion of collaborative planning forecasting and replenishment (CPFR), which aUows partner companies to collaborate on forecasting and utilizes a DSS that assists in finding discrepancies in the process. [Pg.2019]

Infrastructures without expensive investments such as the use of Internet-mediated applications lead to use of collaboration tools. However, the initial investments to upgrade the systems and learning activities, and resistance to change towards the new application became main problems at the initial stage of implementation. [Pg.165]

Level 3 individual employee level At this level the individual employees or members save time through the use of collaboration tools when transferring and transmitting information and associated knowledge. As the information can be easily attained through the collaboration tools, the employees or members can react and respond to an incident quickly and independently, as the system can give the information and the... [Pg.165]

This case study was embedded as part of a research setting wherein the impact of two collaboration tools/e-business applications— namely extranet and B2B—in an automotive SCM strategic business unit was examined. The sample of the SCM consisted of an independently owned local company which operated as a supplier but was restricted in its operations to the southern part of Germany. This collaboration was studied retrospectively as the collaboration took place between the SCM and its 12 national suppliers. [Pg.166]

The main difference between these is that information exists without a dependency on its owner and is easily transferable, whereas on the contrary, knowledge is formed and shared in/ between minds through experiences, successes, failures, learning over time, and therefore, the stickiness of the IT demands time, effort, and cost to transfer (Tiwana, 2001, p. 37 Kessler et al., 2000). The transferability consists of both parts one portion that is readily transferable and the other portion which is not easily transferable. Even though the collaboration tool has been... [Pg.168]

Through the use of collaboration tools, the questions ofhowto create awin-win situation between suppliers, distributors, the supply chain members, and to what extent collaboration tools are used become a concern for supply chains. Littler, Lev-erick, Bmce (1995) questioned the suitability of supplier collaboration maybe his question needs to be further extended, and it should be worded as to what extent/level supply chain collaboration is considered to be beneficial ... [Pg.170]

The results of this research introduced supply-chain-wide views on collaboration. Supply chains are trying to come to terms with the threats and opportunities posed by these new collaborative intermediaries. The preferences for collaborative tools expressed in this study are applied at three... [Pg.170]

The chapter addresses supply chain integration by the use of collaboration tools. The author explains the concept of collaboration tools and its importance in the supply chain integration, evaluates the requirements for supply chain management, and emphasizes the collaborative problem areas within the supply chain. A case study for an application of collaboration tools is presented. The author argues that supply chain collaboration is effective only if the collaboration tools are integrated and used jointly by supply chain partners. [Pg.304]
