Description
Summary:Nowadays the boundaries of organizations are more fluid than they used to be. Supply-chain management forces companies to streamline the ways they manufacture, distribute, and sell products and ultimately will improve the way organizations conduct business. The supply-chain cycle begins with a customer's order. Usually the manufacturer turns to outside support from suppliers, utilities, transportation, and other providers of goods and services that are needed to make the product. An architectural framework that permits the flexibility, interoperability, and openness needed for e-commerce applications rather than a collection of independent solutions that may not work in concert is described. The critical elements of interoperability in the context of e-commerce and integrated value chains are described, and current developments trends and expectations are discussed.
