30%-[Supply, Chain, Management, SCM] Brain of Supply Chain System (4 Pages)
by Ashfaque Ahmed
Jun 19, 2004
Abstract : A software tool called advanced planning and optimization, APO, for short, is used to make a supply chain system cost effective and integrated. Since this tool works on top of all other software tools which are used to plan, monitor, and control supply chain activities and control them, APO can effectively be called the brain of a supply chain system. This article explores advantages of having an APO tool for managing supply chain functions even if a business already has invested in a supply chain management (SCM) system. If a company has not made the investment then the APO tool can be used together with the upcoming SCM system.

27%-[Supply, Chain, Management, SCM] The Essential Supply Chain (4 Pages)
by Steve McVey
Dec 28, 2002
Abstract : Supply Chain Management (SCM) once viewed as a way to obtain a competitive advantage, is now perceived as a logical and necessary extension of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). The reasons: First, traditional ERP systems lack the advanced planning tools necessary for companies to respond to an increasingly competitive business environment. Second, advances in computing power and data transmission enable disparate entities to communicate efficiently and at a low cost. Finally, vendors have observed the complementary nature of SCM and ERP and are engaged in consolidation of their product suites.
