International Journal of Internet and Enterprise Management (IJIEM), Vol. 5, No. 3, 2008

Abstract: With the impact of the e-business enabled supply chain on manufacturers and other members being deeply well understood and exploited, new supply chain strategies, such as vendor-managed inventory, collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment, and efficient consumer response, have begun to exploit these new communication channels. This paper is aimed at establishing e-business-enabled supply chain procedure models and simulation research for quantifying the impact of information and communication technologies. Simulation results of e-business supply chains illuminate diverse practical effects under different kinds of demand.
