A Web-Based Workflow for Supply Chain Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since supply chains are complex and dynamic, incorporating human creativity in supply chain information system is essential. To facilitate human interaction in the decision process, we created an executable literate document (ELD) approach for collecting non-structured data from knowledge workers. An ELD operates on internal workflow and provides flexible and knowledgeable environments to generate the best decision for the customer, raising the total quality of customer service. We also describe a Web-based workflow architecture that relies on Java servlets and XML. Java servlets and XML provide mobile code and data repository, respectively. Consequently, they generate an ideal Web-based workflow to assist in the management of supply chains.
