Overview: Supply chains are about quickly exchanging relevant demand and supply information and, most importantly, to help supply the demand when the customer wants the product. Modern day Supply Chain Management is the e-commerce of manufacturing. Barriers that once separated manufacturers from suppliers and customers alike are being removed by collaborative e-Supply Chain Management. However, collaborative e-Supply Chain Management requires a significant change in supply chain processes as well as changes in strategic and tactical thinking. This change in thinking, which is often a change in mindset, does not necessarily come easily. The fact is, in many cases, collaborative e-Supply Chain Management will, initially, be accepted by only a few well-initiated customers and suppliers, unless “forced” to comply. Eventually, the rest will have to “buy-in” as you rack-up success with the early adopters.
