The environment complexity in which supply chain members are evolving leads them to adopt opposite strategies in a constructive way. In this sense companies tend to create value by cooperation and, at the same time, capture value by competition. This ago-antagonistic behavior generates a...

RFID associated to ambient intelligence provide the basic interconnected network infrastructure for decentralized warehouses management and control. In this paper, we discuss benefits and barriers of decentralized approaches and how they can be adopted in warehouses. We examine mechanisms,...

Information transfer in the supply chain is complex and causes instability and unpredictable behavior, when information transferred is incomplete or incorrect. This instability is characterized by the Bullwhip Effect that represents concretization of entropy, namely the degree of disorder within...

L'alignement des systèmes d'information (SI) avec la stratégie d'affaire ou la structure, que ce soit de l'entreprise ou d'un réseau donné, présente une préoccupation majeure des entreprises soucieuses de leur devenir. Au sein d'une supply chain considérée comme un type de réseau et...

Supply chain configurations, as hybrid governance structures, allow companies to be sufficiently integrated while keeping a certain level of flexibility. This enables them, on one hand, to converge towards common interests through the development of cooperation; and on the other hand, to diverge...

These last years, we can observe that most of companies implemented an ERP system but many of them fail. Much of research that has been conducted in this field, focus on KSFs. We have noticed that confronting those KSFs to ERP implementation strategies seems quiet fecund. So provide in this...

In supply chains, which are organizational systems that integrate complex behavioral interactions, partners adopt bipolar strategies that join paradoxical and constructive behaviors to evolve in nowadays environment. This enables them, on one hand, to converge towards common interests through...

Le supply chain management présente une discipline qui émerge et qui se développe à une vitesse importante. Cette discipline ne présente pas seulement un effet de mode, c'est une discipline qui a fait ses preuves et qui est très convoitée par un grand nombre de chercheurs et surtout de...

Inter-functional business integration that improves cooperation among departments, or even inter-organizational integration could be supported by the implantation of an ERP system. Consequently, in these last five years, more and more companies are implementing ERP system but lots of them fail...

La thématique du risque n'est pas nouvelle en gestion, mais elle est récente et encore peu étudiée en Supply Chain Management ; les premiers travaux portant explicitement sur ce thème datent de 2003. Après une analyse de la littérature sur ce thème, nous considérerons le Supply Chain...
