SAP ERP Analysis as the Key of the Company's Procurement Process in the Use of Social Media

AbstractResearchers analysis is focused on a logistic company in Maluku, with fish processing as its raw material. They understand about the supply chain strategy, but in fact, the amount and value of production from year to year is not very stable, lack of fun operational in the process and in building relations with the positive impression of the community. The determining method for researchers analysis is based on the quantitative approach. The results of this approach provide almost 90% of the information that is needed. The researchers think that technically, SAP ERP Enterprise Core is able to compensate for the implementation of their ERP and SAP Business Suite integrated solution packages, such as SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management), SAP SCM (Supply Chain Management), SAP SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) and SAP PLM (Product Life Cycle Management). SCM, PLM in their supply chain strategy and CRM, SRM are as a customer service technique in a fun sales process with an integrated information system network through rapidly growing social media developments. The results of these managements are very influential on their business process. The effect is not only for the company but it also has a great influence on the welfare of local communities (fishermen) in producing good quality of raw materials. According to researchers, the water has an area of 658,294.69 km or reaching 92.4%, as much as 20% of the potential of capture fishery is in this region, hence the increase of food source and fish nutrition, community welfare (fishermen), company development In Maluku should remain in monitor and increase from year to year

Information technology for competitive advantage within logistics and supply chains: a review

This paper offers a systematic review of the literature on the use of information technology (IT) in logistics and supply chain management to achieve competitive advantage. While IT has revolutionized traditional logistics and supply chains to achieve numerous benefits such as increased efficiency and responsiveness, it is not still clear to what extend IT has contributed to competitive advantage within logistics and supply chains. This paper contributes to this debate by: (i) reporting the literature on the role of IT in achieving competitive advantage within logistics and supply chains based on the linkages between ‘adaptation’, ‘alignment’, and ‘agility’, (triple A’s) (Lee, 2004), and (ii) discussing managerial implications and identifying future research directions

SAP ERP Analysis as the Key of the Company's Procurement Process in the Use of Social Media

Information technology plays a role in developing a modern business strategy in a fishing company in Maluku (Indonesia). Understanding the product life cycle must be improved even though they understand the supply chain strategy, with the fact that in the past few years the amount and value of production are not always stable. The results of this approach provide almost 90% of the information data needed by utilizing Social media as a key alternative in the procurement of raw materials that support SAP ERP Enterprise Core as a key system in developing the company's business. ERP implementation and solution package integrated with SAP Business Suite includes SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management), SAP SCM (Supply Chain Management), SAP SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) and SAP PLM (Product Life Cycle Management). SCM, PLM in their supply chain strategy and CRM, SRM as an integrated information system network technique through the rapid development of social media. The impact is not only for the company, but it also has a big influence on the welfare of the local communities (fishermen) in producing qualified raw materials

Supply Chain

Traditionally supply chain management has meant factories, assembly lines, warehouses, transportation vehicles, and time sheets. Modern supply chain management is a highly complex, multidimensional problem set with virtually endless number of variables for optimization. An Internet enabled supply chain may have just-in-time delivery, precise inventory visibility, and up-to-the-minute distribution-tracking capabilities. Technology advances have enabled supply chains to become strategic weapons that can help avoid disasters, lower costs, and make money. From internal enterprise processes to external business transactions with suppliers, transporters, channels and end-users marks the wide range of challenges researchers have to handle. The aim of this book is at revealing and illustrating this diversity in terms of scientific and theoretical fundamentals, prevailing concepts as well as current practical applications

Review of Quantitative Methods for Supply Chain Resilience Analysis

Supply chain resilience (SCR) manifests when the network is capable to withstand, adapt, and recover from disruptions to meet customer demand and ensure performance. This paper conceptualizes and comprehensively presents a systematic review of the recent literature on quantitative modeling the SCR while distinctively pertaining it to the original concept of resilience capacity. Decision-makers and researchers can benefit from our survey since it introduces a structured analysis and recommendations as to which quantitative methods can be used at different levels of capacity resilience. Finally, the gaps and limitations of existing SCR literature are identified and future research opportunities are suggested

The Role of social agency in supply chain management decision-making

Global supply chains have expanded in both their size and embeddedness in the markets. The formation and development of relationships with suppliers and buyers has become key to sustaining competitiveness, whereas firms within the chains face increasing needs and demands from both internal and external stakeholders. Accordingly, decision-making within supply chains is expected to meet various objectives regarding, for example, organizational sustainability and performance. To answer the challenges related to the decision-making, researchers in the field of supply chain management have recently been concerned especially with the theme of human behavior. Processes of individual decision-making in the context are often found to be irrational with relation to organizational aims and unexpected in their consequences on the level of supply chains. Yet, explanations with reference to individual psychology and social mechanisms relevant to the phenomena have received little attention, leaving the decision-making inefficient in practice. This doctoral thesis addresses the gap in previous research by considering the interaction between the psychology of the individual decision-maker and the social environment of the supply chain. In this regard, the thesis contributes to the research paradigm of behavioral supply chain management by elaborating on what the interaction means for supply chain management decision-making. A social cognitive lens is adopted to describe how supply chain management decisions may be linked to various psychological characteristics of decision-makers and to put forward practical proposals on how to enhance decision-making in the context. The compilation thesis builds on four original publications with a diverse background of theories on individual decision-making and organizational behavior. Literature relevant to supply chain management decision-making in general—and the topics of logistics outsourcing, organizational performance, and supply relationships in particular—is subjected to conceptual analysis for the development of propositions and hypotheses to be tested. To test the hypotheses, the research then employs empirical survey data from the Finnish State of Logistics Surveys 2014 and 2018, the European Social Survey 2016, and financial reporting data from the Voitto+ and Eikon databases. One of the individual studies is conceptual by nature, whereas three follow a nomothetic approach where the data is analyzed using quantitative methods. The results show how logistics outsourcing decisions are likely to be driven by attitudes, norms, and competence; the environmental and financial performance of companies may be linked to their respective institutional environments and ambidextrous business processes; and supply relationships should be managed with consideration to individual identity and leader rhetoric. The findings further support a view of the individual decision-maker as an intentional and subjectively rational social agent that lays the foundations to behavior on multiple levels of analysis from organizations to supply chains and markets. Supply chain management decision-making could then be enhanced with behavior change techniques related to, for instance, increasing knowledge and setting goals that may be enforced from within or outside the supply chain. Hence, the results benefit business practitioners and policymakers across the boundaries of individual firms with ideas on how to acknowledge the human decision-maker in decision models vastly applied in the field
