A Research on Supply Chain Integration Strategy Based on Virtual Value Net
نویسندگان
چکیده
The supply chain is a dynamic and integrated system in which all enterprises are integrated to obtain optimization of the whole chain. Integration is a process of redefining and connecting parts of a whole in order to form a new one. In traditional supply chain integration, the definitions of parts are usually limited by the boundary of the enterprises: the integration emphasizes connecting each enterprise with logistics and information communications. This paper proposes a theory of a Virtual Value Net in which a supply chain as a whole system consists of three nets: logistics net, information resource net and organization net. The supply chain integration involves how to construct and coordinate these nets and their nodes, so as to provide business value to the final customers, and be adaptable to business and technology changes. This paper presents a method by which supply chain integration solution is designed, improved and evaluated. The method takes more care about the business processes of the whole supply chain in which the organizations’ boundaries are regarded as transparent, activities in business processes are selected and organized as business components, logistics flow and information flow are analyzed and optimized according to the integration degrees of business components. In addition, a comprehensive method on designation, evaluation and improvement of supply chain integration will also be provided.
