    Proactive Supply Chain Performance Management with Predictive Analytics

    Today’s business climate requires supply chains to be proactive rather than reactive, which demands a new approach that incorporates data mining predictive analytics. This paper introduces a predictive supply chain performance management model which combines process modelling, performance measurement, data mining models, and web portal technologies into a unique model. It presents the supply chain modelling approach based on the specialized metamodel which allows modelling of any supply chain configuration and at different level of details. The paper also presents the supply chain semantic business intelligence (BI) model which encapsulates data sources and business rules and includes the data warehouse model with specific supply chain dimensions, measures, and KPIs (key performance indicators). Next, the paper describes two generic approaches for designing the KPI predictive data mining models based on the BI semantic model. KPI predictive models were trained and tested with a real-world data set. Finally, a specialized analytical web portal which offers collaborative performance monitoring and decision making is presented. The results show that these models give very accurate KPI projections and provide valuable insights into newly emerging trends, opportunities, and problems. This should lead to more intelligent, predictive, and responsive supply chains capable of adapting to future business environment

    Ruivo, P., Johansson, B., Sarker, S., & Oliveira, T. (2020). The relationship between ERP capabilities, use, and value. Computers in Industry, 117, 1-15. [103209]. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compind.2020.103209This study assesses the effect of some extended Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) capabilities (Collaboration, Analytics, Web-portals, Add-ons) and ERP use on ERP value. The research conducted, followed a mixed-methods approach using an exploratory study (Delphi) and the resource-based view of the firm to understand the ERP capabilities and develop three competing models surrounding these capabilities, ERP use, and ERP value, and then a confirmatory study using a large-scale survey of firms in Germany, Portugal, and the United Kingdom, to test these models. Results suggest that the moderation model best explains the relationships, while the additive model highlights the direct effects of both ERP capabilities and ERP use on ERP value in an interesting way. Results highlight that the role of ERP use is more critical when moderating ERP capabilities and ERP value, as well as when additive to ERP capabilities, than when mediating between ERP capabilities and ERP value. The practical value of the study lies in the fact that this investigation provides new knowledge on how some extended ERP capabilities may positively influence value from investment, and together with ERP use, provide business value.authorsversionpublishe

    A Semantic Sense & Respond Approach to IT-enabled Buyer-Supplier Relationship Management: An Action Research Study

    Get PDF
    The importance of buyer-supplier relations has been recognized by research as well as practice. Information sharing and knowledge exchange have been found to positively impact closer collaboration, increase transparency, and improve perceptions of trust between buyers and sellers. There is however, lesser research about IT as an enabler in the dynamics of buyer-seller relationship management. Against this backdrop, we examine how a retailer leveraged and adapted a portal to help them “listen to the voice of their suppliers”. Through a collaborative action research project, we developed a semantic sense & respond approach to design and implement mechanisms that allowed a large retailer, BuildSmart, to continuously sense how their portal was experienced by suppliers and how to more generally improve their relationship with their suppliers. As a result, we present a conceptual model of IT-enabled buyer-supplier relationship management, and demonstrate how semantic modeling can be combined with sense & response thinking to support adaptive technology management

    Business Benefits from Enterprise Systems Implementation in New Zealand

    Get PDF
    Organisations rely on their enterprise systems (ES) to integrate and optimise business processes, automate business transactions and share context-rich information to support decision making, according to the literature. But does this happen and how? This study examines key benefits that organisations generally seek from ES implementations, how ES data are transformed into knowledge, how this knowledge is utilised to achieve business benefits and the critical success factors for this process. Findings indicate that key benefits New Zealand organisations expect from ES include improve information flow, reduce out-of-inventory events and implement process efficiencies. An important finding is that New Zealand companies have only recently started tracking benefits through analytical processes to optimise and realise business value from their ES investment. Implications for practice are discussed with a focus on usability of ES and its information

    Rancangan Pengukuran Kinerja Rantai Pasok Barang Passthrough Di PT. Indonesia Nippon Seiki Dengan Menggunakan Pendekatan Balanced Scorecard

    Full text link
    PT. Indonesia Nippon Seiki Supply Chain Performance related to supplying Passthrough good, based on three categories, the quantity, ontime delivery and quality, the performance can not reach 100% performance. Management said that to reach perfect performance PT. INS must take high cost consequenses. There are too many factor that must be considered, so three point of view are not enough to describe the performance of the supply chain of the Passthrough goods. In this research, the writer tries to propose some Key performance indicator (KPI) based on Balanced Scorecard approach related to Supply Chain issues. All of these KPI‟s will be choosen by some management of INS as the questionaire respondent, using Analitical Hirarchy Process (AHP) and then after the proper KPI have determined the performance will be calculated and will be sumarized using Objective Matric Weighting, to get an objective analysis of the performance of Passthrough good Supply chain in PT. INS. The result of the research, there are 22 KPIs that are used to calculate the perfomace of Passthrough good Supply chain in PT. INS based on Balanced Scorecard approach. The research shows that the performance of Passthrough good Supply chain year 2012 is low but in 2013, the performance tend to be increase. PT. INS must concern to resolve the customer complaint because this KPI tend to be not good. But in generally the performance is growing better and have a lot of chances for improvement
