This chapter initiates the concept of a customercentric model in supply chain systems. It discusses various constraints of present-day supply chain systems resulting from their roots being in logistics management and suggests an alternative next-level paradigm of a customer-centric matrix model. This chapter further demonstrates how this model would add value to the customer by taking the example of a healthcare information management system. The chapter also delves into the limitations of and anticipated issues and challenges in implementing the suggested model. Finally, the chapter hints at some broad directions for future research and action in the field. Emergent behavior is what happens when an interconnected system of relatively simple elements begins to self-organize to form a more intelligent and more adaptive higher-level system (Johnson, 2001).

Supply chain management (SCM) represents a crucial role in the military sector to ensure operation sustainability. Starting from the NATO handbook for military organizational learning, this paper aims at investigating the link between technical inconveniences and sustainable supply chain operations. Taking advantage of the learning from incidents (LFI) models traditionally used in the risk and safety management area, this paper proposes an information management system to support organizational learning from technical inconveniences in a military supply chain. The approach is discussed with reference to the Italian context, in line with international and national standards for technical inconvenience reporting. The results of the paper show the benefits of adopting a systematic LFI system for technical inconveniences, providing related exemplar business intelligence dashboards. Further implications for the generalization of the proposed information management system are presented to foster a healthy and effective reporting environment in military scenarios.

Using Data

The logistics of railway electrification engineering, because of its unique industrial characteristics and intrinsic characteristics, can't be directly applied to the existing departments, industries, and the management information systems of other countries at present. In this paper, the logistics system of railway electrification engineering is analyzed based on object oriented analysis and in combination with the supply chain management information system and the author thinks that the key to analyzing the logistics information management system design of railway electrification engineering lies in the expression to the railway electrification engineering transportation supply chain management logic structure, and finally a computer aided decision system (CPFR model) based on the railway electrification engineering transportation supply chain distribution is established using data mining technology and object-oriented data model.
