One of the critical factors for a successful cooperative relationship in a supply chain partnership is trust. Many real-world applications, such as Supply Chain Management (SCM), can be modeled using multi-agent systems. One shortcoming of current SCM models is that their trust models are ad hoc and do not have a strong theoretical basis. As a result, they are unable to model subtleties in agen...

The importance and complexity of the problems associated with coordinating multiple organizations to configure value propositions for customers has drawn the attention of multiple disciplines. In an effort to clarify and consolidate terms, this conceptual research examines both supply chain management (SCM) and system of systems (SoS) literature to postulate, from a value-chain perspective, wha...

In recent years Supply Chain Management (SCM) in general and SCM information systems in particular have raised growing interest among researchers from several knowledge areas, such as Information Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Simulation, Telecommunications, Economics and Business Management, among others. Based upon a recent survey that we have undertaken, and which updates a prior one, in ...

W e illuminate the myriad of opportunities for research where supply chain management (SCM) intersects with data science, predictive analytics, and big data, collectively referred to as DPB. We show that these terms are not only becoming popular but are also relevant to supply chain research and education. Data science requires both domain knowledge and a broad set of quantitative skills, but t...

Recently, most healthcare organizations focus their attention on reducing the cost of their supply chain management (SCM) by improving the decision making pertaining processes' efficiencies. The availability of products through healthcare SCM is often a matter of life or death to the patient; therefore, trial and error approaches are not an option in this environment. Simulation and modeling (S...

The concept of Supply Chain Management (SCM) embraced the concern for environmental degradation and social responsibility in business management. This inclusiveness of ideas to SCM is being deliberated by the researchers as Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM). The research paper employs integrative literature review approach to review, assess critically, and synthesize representative lit...

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in using information technology to improve supply chain management (SCM) performance. This study examines the shareholder wealth effects of SCM software initiatives, and thereby contributes to the literature on IT investments and SCM. Specifically, we examined the abnormal stock returns to SCM software initiatives announced by firms between...

With the deepening of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) thinking, the port is gradually applied the relevant theory to develop its logistics model. This paper uses the theoretical and empirical analysis method, summarizes and compares the existing development models of port logistics, and then proposes that the Supply Chain Model (SC-Model) is an important trend in the development of port logis...

Supply chain management (SCM) is a new concept involving the integration of all the value-creating elements in the supply, manufacturing, and distribution processes, from raw material extraction, through the transformation process, to end user consumption. The purpose of this paper is to explore the SCM activities carried out by manufacturing organisations in New Zealand. A postal survey was ca...

Supply Chain Management (SCM) has raised attention in recent years. Successful SCM depends on how well an organization performs internal and external communications. The use of information technology (IT) is considered a prerequisite for effective control of today’s complex supply chains. IT facilitates the creation of value. However, the creation of value is defined by different groups of stak...
