In the past, vertical integration was a way to gain efficiency in
supply chains. Today, vertical integration doesn't work as well
because specialty organizations have developed to perform specific
tasks very efficiently. Efficiency through supply chains is
achieved today by linking specialists throughout the vertical
business hierarchy. This sort of linkage is possible because of the
technology that has developed which facilitates it, making today's
supply chains both faster and more cost effective. Supply Chain
Information Technology surveys the different systems that are used
by businesses to achieve these efficiencies. The target market for
this book is practitioners in the supply chain management field,
one of the fastest growing fields in our economy. The rapid growth
in computer technology provides supply chains with valuable tools
to better coordinate and control their operations. This book
describes how these systems provide supply chains with information
system support. The design of these systems and the tasks they
perform are demonstrated with the help of analytic techniques and
models that are used in the book.
