  • Conference paper
Modern Concepts of the Theory of the Firm

Abstract

In the recent years, supply chain management has become a basic keyword for production planning including procurement and delivery activities. This development has several reasons:

  • Procurement and sales relations of the enterprises become more complex as production of parts and components is delegated to specialized suppliers.

  • Customer’s requirements are increasing concerning product quality as well as delivery time and flexibility.

  • Improvements in information technology and planning systems lead to changes in manufacturing organization and planning processes.

  • E-business opens new possibilities to get into contact with partners, exchange prevailing information and integrate planning activities along the supply chain.
