Abstract

Organizations nowadays need to navigate the transformation from a traditional supply chain to an advanced and efficient adaptive supply chain. The adaptive supply chain network has an intelligent adaptive capability to the changing market. Demand-driven companies prefer to share information and proactively respond to shorter and unpredictable demand variation and lifecycles. Hence, the success of a collaborative supply chain depends on the mutual trust and willingness to share information between the partners and suppliers. In the information-sharing scenario, the exchange of demand information and action plans to align forecasts or long-term planning are usual; the stages of supply chain place the order independently. Agility, savviness and adaptability are the requirements for a supply chain to be highly competitive in the global environment. Communication between customers, suppliers and trading partners is required to ensure that the right products arrive at the right location at the right time. This can be best accomplished in the cloud; in place of a manually driven supply chain, cloud computing can transform the supply chain into an automated, demand-driven chain that offers visibility and control across all trading partners.
