Information Sharing in Supply Chains: A Survey of Australian Manufacturing

چکیده
Information sharing has been cited as one of major means of improving supply chain performance. It allows companies to better coordinate their activities with their supply chain partners and generate improved performance. This paper reports results from a survey of information sharing practices in Australian manufacturing companies. The results indicate that the level of coordination between members of a supply chain is quite low as firms only share information pertaining to day-today operation and each firm still acts independently. The results pose challenges both for practitioners and academics and warrant further investigation.
