The intelligent supply chain: The practical issues of supplying and servicing customers over the web
Developing an effective e-business means handling a whole range of supply chain issues. This briefing focuses on the data, processes and systems that companies need so that the various supplier-customer relationships in an electronic supply chain work effectively. It investigates the extent to which removing different parties -- vertical integration and/or disintermediation -- increases net value to suppliers or customers, when it does not, and the costs and benefits to final customers. (Read this briefing in conjunction with The intelligent e-business.)
Key feature: How to decide your new place in the virtual supply chain and the systems support you need to make it work. 24 pages. (Pubished: August 2000)
