Supply Chain Management (SCM) is one of the most important concepts, which focuses on customer requirement and sets Core Company in the centre, integrating the suppliers, distributors and customers as a whole. Integration is the trend and advantage of SCM. It is necessary for the retail industry to introduce the concepts and methods of SC Integration Management. Through close cooperation and sy...

This paper discusses factors affecting the execution of supply chain management and presents a conceptual model and six hypotheses based on such factors identified in the literature. The model was tested in two European country-specific cases using structural equation modelling. Findings in both cases confirm the hypothesized hierarchical order of three proposed antecedents: ‘internal SCM condi...

Software configuration management (SCM) is a key element of the software development process. A number of new configuration management techniques in commercial SCM tools and environments with SCM capabilities have been observed. This report illustrates some of the advances in SCM concepts by example of a particular commercial system: the Sun Network Software Environment (NSE). NSE embodies a tr...

E-business has changed the definition of enterprise systems.ERP focuses on core business functions, while E-business pushes the ERP from inside core of the organizations to the network edge. By making use of E-business approaches, organizations can have the ERP integration benefits of flexibility, reduction in cost, more effective and quick responses etc.By integrating ERP with E-business, a ne...

The evolution from an information-based economy to a knowledge-based society requires higher education to produce intellectual outputs to match market and society needs by adjusting its educational process and praxis. Curriculum, as a core factor in refining this process, is therefore a key part of the transformation. Practices of Knowledge Management (KM) or Supply-Chain Management (SCM) have ...

This keynote paper represents theory of Supply Chain Management (SCM) and its future implications as well as demonstrates chronological prospective of SCM in terms of time frame in different areas of manufacturing and service industries. SCM has been widely researched in numerous application domains during the last decade. Despite the popularity of SCM research and applications, considerable co...

Software production problems have forced industrial organisations producing embedded systems to assess and change the disciplines used to manage the software process. The development of software configuration management (SCM) is one of the solutions for problems concerning new product features. SCM is also one of the software processes that requires improvements. The importance of SCM is clearl...

The aim of this paper is to identify areas for improving the level of supply chain management (SCM) execution. A conceptual model was developed that proposes internal and joint SCM conditions and the adoption of SCM processes as the main antecedents of SCM execution. Based on a survey of 174 senior managers representing large organizations structural equation modeling was conducted followed by ...

In this thesis the feasibility of an integrated model for repository mining using Rascal is examined. To this end the SCM data sources CVS, SVN and Git are integrated into one integrated repository model named Rminer, which can be used in the data extraction and analysis phases of MSR research. First the requirements for Rminer are analysed by examining the various MSR research being done and a...

A lightweight version of the Feature Oriented Domain Analysis (FODA) method is applied to the Software Configuration Management (SCM) domain. Following a brief introduction to SCM, the domain model discussed in detail, covering the contextual, representational and operational features of SCM systems. A high level reference architecture for the SCM domain is analyzed to identify reusable compone...
