  2. 1. Materials Supply and Production Outsourcing

    Author : Anna M K Fredriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; supply chain uncertainty; outsourcing; outsourcing process; materials planning; materials supply; supply chain performance;

    Abstract : Supplier and customer markets have become more global and have forced companies to consider restructuring their supply chains to take advantage of opportunities in terms of costs, competence, etc. at different locations. One way to take advantage of opportunities in other locations is to outsource parts of the production to suppliers. READ MORE

  4. 2. Enterprise and supply chain planning : a survey of Swedish manufacturing firms

    Author : Erik Selldin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Enterprise and supply chain planning (ERP and SCP) have evolved due to the earlier benefits of manufacturing planning systems. By integrating the entire enterprise, or a part of a supply chain, the benefits sought are hopefully even greater in terms of reduced costs and increased profits in comparison with systems only managing a part of the operations.
