Supply chain information

Barcodes and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) are also examples of ways to improve communications among companies. A barrier has been the lack of integrated software both inside and outside the company. Efforts underway sponsored by organizations like the Supply-Chain Council seek to standardize definition of data elements and processes. This facilitates supply chain information sharing along the supply chain.

This section describes the wide and fragmented supply chain information landscape. This is also a landscape with blurry boundaries between categories of applications. Hardly a week passes that one does not hear about a new acronym or revolutionary tool in the domain of supply chain systems. Unless one closely follows the technology, one can be excused for being confused. 

Legacy systems A network or hierarchical database system usually running on a mainframe. Replacement of legacy systems is often a motivator for installing new supply chain information systems. Implementing supply chain improvements may be limited by the capabilities of legacy systems.

Definition of links between decision-modeling and other parts of the enterprisewide information system. Decision-making models rely on data provided from other parts of the information system and can also use some functions provided by the supply chain information system. Information modeling is used to map data between components and identify available functions. 

Horizontal and vertical integration. Supply chain management processes are executed across functional domains within individual units, as well as across enterprises involved in the supply chain network. Sharing of data and processes should be supported at a level desirable for a particular decision-making problem. Its implementation should enable relatively simple replacement of components comprising the architecture of the supply chain information system. 

Ftmctional requirements for supply chain information systems depend upon a particular supply chain configuratiOTi problem (some of the common functional requirements are identified throughout the book). These requirements, almig with earlier defined key requirements, determine the design of the supply chain information system. Several conunon features of such a design can be identified. Information technology solutirms are made up by pairing hardware, communications, and software. Typical characteristics of such solutions in the supply chain environment include ... 

Distributed system. This characteristic mainly owes to the spatially distributed nature of supply chains. Supply chain partners are physically distributed around the world, and the design of the supply chain information system accounts for this problem. An additional important feature is the lack of centralization that complicates management of the supply chain information system. Eor instance, one supply chain partner generally is not able to use its system to enforce the security policy in the system owned by another partner. 

Execution components or supply chain information systems are used for data processing during day-to-day supply chain operations. They have multiple resprai-sibilities in relation to supply chain cOTifiguratiOTi ...
