IS-Enabled Supply Chain Agility

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Achieving Supply Chain Agility

Abstract

The chapter gives an extensive review of the current research on industry 4.0, supply chain agility, IS integration. It also investigates the role of IS in supply chain agility. The findings and results reported in the relevant research streams are discussed in the following three aspects: (i) IS integration, including the technical development and the theory of integration process; (ii) supply chain management, specifically agility, including the theoretical background and the approaches taken to achieve agility; and (iii) the actual IS application and issues in supply chain management from real world.

Notes

  1. 1.

    EDIs are ‘co-operative inter-organisational systems that allow trading partners to exchange structured business information electronically between separate computer applications’ (Lacovon et al. 1995).

  2. 2.

    The bullwhip effect is ‘the tendency of supply chains to amplify relatively small changes at the demand side of a supply chain such that the disruption at the supply end of the chain is much greater’ (Slack et al. 2007).

  3. 3.

    MES is applied to manage shop floor activities in a manufacturing plant (Kahl 1999). It forges a link between business planning and management control system (Russell and Taylor 1998).
