Enterprise Systems/ ERPEnterprise Resource Planning ( ERP)
Enterprise systems, also known as ERP, which are based on a suite of integral software modules and a common database.
The database collects data from many different divisions and departments in a firm, and from a large number of key business processes in Manufacturing and Productions, Sales and Marketing, Finance and Accounting, and Human Resources,
Making the data available for applications that support nearly all of an organization’s internal activities.

Inventory
Vendors
Key Observations:

exchange data with each other The success of any organization lies in effective
communication and data exchange within the departments as well as associated third party such as Vendors, Outsourcers, and customers.

Supply Chain Management SystemsWhat is Supply Chain
A firm’s supply chain is a network of organizations and business processes for procuring raw materials, transforming these materials into intermediate and finished products, and distributing the finished products to customer. It links suppliers, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, retail outlets, and customers.

Supply Chain Management SystemsNIKE’S SUPPLY CHAIN
This figure illustrates the major entities in Nike’s supply chain and the flow of information upstream and downstream to coordinate the activities involved in buying, making, and moving a product. Shown here is a simplified supply chain, with the upstream portion focusing only on the suppliers for sneakers and sneaker soles.

Upstream supply chain: Firm’s suppliers, suppliers’ suppliers, processes for
managing relationships with them Downstream supply chain:
Organizations and processes responsible for delivering products to customers
Information Systems and Supply Chain Management
Inefficiencies cut into a company’s operating costs Can waste up to 25% of operating expenses
Just-in-time strategy: Components arrive as they are needed Finished goods shipped after leaving assembly line
Safety stock Buffer for lack of flexibility in supply chain
Bullwhip effect Information about product demand gets distorted as it passes
from one entity to next across supply chain
How IS Facilitates SCM? Decide when and what to produce, store, and move Rapidly communicate orders Track the status of orders Check inventory, transportation, and warehousing
costs Track shipments Plan production based actual customer demand Rapidly communicate changes in product design
