In the near future, the main concerns of CAPE will probably focus on issues related to product design (molecular modeling for solving function-property-composition problems), supply chain management (cost reduction of raw materials, effective use of energy and its new sources), and life cycle assessment (mitigation of climate change, process sustainability). 

This chapter presented an overview of ERP from the outside and from the inside. The outside view clarified the connection between ERP, electronic commerce, and supply chain management. The inside view describe the functional and implementation elements of ERP systems, particularly in the context of manufacturing enterprises, and identified the points at which ERP interacts wifli other software applications in manufacturing enterprises. Finally, we looked at open research problems surrounding ERP and identified those that are important to fitting ERP systems into current and future business processes.

E-Com Supply Chain and SMEs by Ron Craig, takes the perspective of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in supply chains. It reviews the important role of SMEs in national and world economies. The chapter provides an extensive overview of literature on supply chain management (SCM), information and communication technologies (ICTs), and e-business. Both opportunities and challenges for supply chains in general and SMEs in particular are considered. The future direction for researchers and practitioners are pointed out.

The future of software engineering is bright, with good jobs available in the computer industry, scientific laboratories, and businesses. All the traditional applications programs, such as payroll, supply chain management, or protein identification, need to be maintained and, in some cases, rewritten. However, a number of completely new applications are developing and show great promise as areas of employment. The development of an electronic health... 

It is necessary to use both a macroeconomic and a microeconomic approach to social capital. All dimensions of social capital affect supply chain management. Social capital in macroeconomic perspective constitutes external conditions of supply chain operations. A microeconomic perception of social capital refers to the social capital of the supply chain itself and individual companies. It forms a part of internal supply chain potential. Social capital seems to be a binder of supply chain initiatives. Due to its large scale and the strength of its impact one should consider social capital as one of the factors influencing the selection of supply chain configuration with costs of operation and perspectives for future development in mind. 

Defining the vision, mission and general principle of a company is helpful before starting to assess the company s situation. Questions which need to be asked involve the key principles and core values of the company. The identity of a company derives from its mission statement and its core principles. Furthermore it is important to define the fields of activity as well as the strategic objectives of your company. Besides defining its identity, this will help to assess the future direction of the company within supply chain management.

To ensure the customization of the supply chain management platform, an iterative development process in collaboration with future users from network companies (see Figure 10) is necessary. The iterative development and evaluation by experts and the redesign according to their feedback supports the customization. 

Chapter 19 is our measurement chapter, but as each chapter is designed to stand alone inventory measurements are discussed here. Performance measures are needed to drive continuous improvement, if we do not know how well we are performing, if we do not have measurements, how can we know if we have improved, in terms of client satisfaction, stock outs and stock turns. Measurement is also necessary to set directions and targets for the future. The criteria for performance measures should cover a balanced approach to aU key parameters of the supply chain and should provide operational measures rather than purely financial measures. Measures should be simple, easy to define and easy to monitor. In determining what should be measured it is useful to get away from standard accounting measures. Supply chain management requirements are different from those of the accountants. In determining our own measurements we should ask ... 

What can be done Our supply chain simulation software visualizes these backlog situations (Fig. 11). Supply chain management can now shorten the critical path in order to make the processes "Procurement Part 1395" and "Sawing" feasible in the near future (Fig. 12). SCM was able to keep the confirmed cus-... 

The responsibility for the proactive elimination of imminent bottlenecks and future wastage falls to the supply chain management. 

The threat we ve discussed is also an opportunity. Supply chain management, SCM, enables one s own enterprise to "pick off" entrenched competitors. So SCM is both a defensive and offensive weapon. We ll describe ways to use SCM tools offensively in future chapters. The next chapter begins this journey by reviewing some of the thinking that has led to where we are today. To do this we ask how well our current supply chain investment strategies contribute to competitiveness.
