RosettaNet’s Mission Statement
“RosettaNet will harness the global and pervasive reach of the Internet by defining -- and leading the implementation of -- open and common processes designed to align the electronic business interfaces between supply chain partners, ultimately resulting in measurable benefits for buyers and all supply chain partners.”
RosettaNet is an efficient E-business processes that gives company’s dynamic trading-partner relationships and new business opportunities. RosettaNet consists of 350 of the world’s leading Information Technology (IT), Electronic Components (EC), and Semiconductor Manufacturing (SM) companies working to create and implement industry-wide, open E-business process standards. It is also a self-funded, non-profit organization. The company name, RosettaNet, is named after the Rosetta Stone. The stone is carved with a message in three languages, which led to the understanding of hieroglyphics. RosettaNet is making history, like the stone, by breaking language barriers. Since RosettaNet is establishing a standard process for the electronic sharing of business information; this opens the lines of communication and a world of opportunities for everyone involved in the supplying and buying of today’s technologies. Companies who are adopting RosettaNet’s standards have reduced costs, raised productivity and engage in dynamic, flexible trading-partner relationships. The end users who are buying from these companies are enjoying the speed and uniformity in purchasing practices.
Recently RosettaNet has introduced their newest standard to the market called Partner Interface Processes (PIP). By PIP providing the models and documents for the implementation of standards it has clearly defined business processes between supply chain companies. PIP’s are made up of specialized system-to-system XML-based dialogs. RosettaNet breaks PIP’s into six different groups of core business processes. The eight clusters (the groups of core business processes) is broken down into segments of cross-enterprise processes that involve a number of different types of supply chain companies. Every PIP includes a technical specification based on the RosettaNet Implementation Framework (RNIF), a Message Guideline document with a PIP-specific version of the Business Directory and an XML Message Guideline document.
The eight clusters are:
Cluster 0: RosettaNet Support
Provides administrative functionality
Cluster 1: Partner, Product and Service Review
Allows information collection, maintenance and distribution for the development of trading-partner profiles and product-information subscriptions
Cluster 2: Product Information
Enables distribution and periodic update of product and detailed design information, including product change notices and product technical specifications
Lockheed Martin’s supply chain is responsible for approximately $11.2 billion annually with nearly 1,500 production suppliers and 900 non-production suppliers all over the world (Lockheed Martin, 2014). Lockheed Martin designed their supply chain using lessons learned from preceding programs, that addressed on-time delivery, and quality assurance. Once a contract is signed with a supplier, Lockheed Martin issues a Material Resource Planning requirement to initiate the procurement process. Engineers travel to each of the sub-contractors and perform quality and reliability testing on their components. ALIS has increased the overall effectiveness of the supply chain by automating tracking of parts. Lockheed Martin has also increased
This model provides direct contact to its customers, which allows it to tailor support offering to fit the demands of each customer in a quick, and timely manner.
Highly competitive environment and need of innovation, the companies are facing high pressures to innovate and improve the business process. As IT budgets are limited, process owners and IT departments need to decide how to divide their spending on efficiency and flexibility enhancing IT capabilities to optimally support the execution of business processes. The limited IT budgets put pressure on IT process owners to find the perfect mix to achieve the efficiency and flexibility to support smooth execution of business processes (Heckmann, 2015). IT departments need to find the right balance to use IT budget and decision making ability and play their role in maximizing the organization’s revenue.
This offers instant feedback and marketers automatically know that they are doing something right as responses are positive. Alternatively, modifications can be done if responses are negative. (Dzhingarov)
Any business or business process has had to face a certain level of re-engineering or reconstruction in order to fit into the managerial revolution of the 1990s and the move into the 21st cent...
It is important to identify the customer facing processes and use the demand chain with the supply chain in order to focus on the entire value chain for both the customer and the stakeholder (Walters & Rainbird, 2007). Understanding your customers and markets can help you determine where to look in the supply chain for efficiencies and opportunities and areas where you can improve. Therefore, the focus is primarily on customer’s product demands and service, quality, price competitive, while increasing performance and adding value. Target uses EDI software to make procurement easier and requires all suppliers to use EDI for the procurement process allowing them to ensure customer satisfaction by having state of the art technology that’s fast and
In order to have both an effective and efficient supply chain, managers should be focused on trying to achieve not only a cost effective supply chain, but a flexible one. In today’s economy, because the market is so volatile, trendy, and competitive, flexibility is the key to success. In order to respond to customers’ ever-increasing requirement demands, market leaders have positioned themselves well by continually investing in new key performance indicators, additional technology, improved supply chain networks, and streamlining efforts (Source One INC, 2013). This helps to maximize flexibility and overall responsiveness. With increased flexibility, leaders recognize that supply chains must be adjusted to meet different customer needs. In my research I will analyze Gate Gourmet’s use of information technology and the importance of supply chain integration.
The sites give both Dell and its partners a real-time access to order and manufacture systems, so that replenishment can be tied closely to orders.
Supply chain management is an important part of any business, therefore, it has to be managed effectively and if a business can manage its supply chain in a better way than its rivals then its market share will grow even more. The revolution of the internet has affected supply chain management methods and e-Business was among one of the effects of the internet revolution. According to Laudon & Laudon (cited in León-Peña 2008) supply chain management can employ e-business concepts and the technology advancements in all steps of the business cycle, from collecting the required materials to product design, shipping, to warehousing until the ...
• A product with many different features provides customers with opportunities to chat, play games, send and receive pictures, change ring tones, receive information about travel and sporting events, obtain billing information - and soon view video clips and send video messages.
Thus, customers can get and receive information from each other instead of communicating to the corporations or the companies and as result they can easily spread information about company products as well as information about new arrivals
...ilt on their logistical streams. The online market allows a firm to put itself in a suitable position across the supply chain (Mahadevan, 2000). Disintermediation and Info-mediation are prominent examples of logistics streams. Disintermediation is the reduction of the number of actors in the supply chain with the aim of cutting down costs and improving efficiency. The success of this system can be seen in Amazon,com where customers order goods and gets delivered to them directly. Dell computers allow adopts this model. A distinct logistical stream that exists is the info-mediation, due to the huge amount of information available online and also because customers cannot process everything they see info-mediation serves to allow customers access to relevant information easily. They act as agents or brokers to customers and also safeguard their privacy concerns online.
The Internet has played a major role in transforming industry value systems through globalisation and supply chain integration. Factories all over the world each produce a key component necessary for the production of a particular good/item and thanks to the internet it is now easier than ever to manage these supply chains and get the product from production to shelf as quickly and as cheaply as possible.
To improve their performance and to succeed in the digital world, firms must manage people, technology, and processes across the entire value chain. Supply Chain Management facilitates the interaction among different factors and partners in the system. Thus, the supply chain has evolved to a Supply Chain Network due to the development of the Internet and the technological advancements. The study describes the Supply Chain Management System.
