Some software suppliers are developing interfaces for the ERP systems to interact with other ERPs across the web to allow Enterprise Supply Chain Management systems. These would address supply chain management and planning across an entire supply chain (i.e., the customer, suppliers, different divisions, etc.).

In order to address the above issues and improve operational efficiency, Valvex implemented a supply chain execution information system— an e-supply chain management system (e-SCM). The system was obtained from a vendor named Excelvision. This system not only coordinates interactions with vendors and customers, but also deals with internal activities involved in warehousing and manufacturing operations. Figure 3 provides a schematic representation of the e-SCM system.

As information and communication systems such as supply chain management systems sire human-machine-task-environment-systems e.g. Alter, 2002 Heinrich, 1993), the evaluation procedure has to take not only the system itself, but also the system environment (enterprise, value chain network) into account. Especially the execution of processes between enterprises comprises the interaction of humans with a process system (machine) directed towards the process taskin a given scenario (environment). Therefore, the evaluation should consider the different objectives of the different target groups of supply chain systems e.g. user as process owner, company s strategic goals, IT maintenance, etc.). Reference for improvement are the processes and situation as analyzed in the as-is analysis. 

For the buyers of agricultural input, the use of the supply chain management system also showed efficiency gains in order processes, 49% in direct ordering and 26% in the RfQ process. The efficiency gain for buyers compared to the traditional RfQ processes would even more increase with a larger number of input sellers to request a quote from. However, as most buyers in the... 

A push process conforms to a conventional supply chain management system going through typical stages in sequence. As shown in Figure 3.2, orders arrive at or after the demand cycle but always before the planning and procurement cycle and process is activated by a forecast or demand plan. Both raw and packaging materials are stored before production and products are manufactured to stock. The order fulfilment is achieved from the inventory of finished products. 

While collaborative design and product development is not for every firm, it certainly should be considered as a key element in any complete advanced supply chain management system. 

Having established a basic foimdation of what a World-Class Supply Chain Management system entails, we now know the answer to the question of this chapter What does it take to create a World-Class supply chain environment With that understanding we are now ready to examine the second major topic of this book, Lean management. After that we will see how the two systems synergistically integrate to create an optimal environment that is greater than the sum of its parts.
