O uso de Sistemas de informação na cadeia de suplementos farmacêuticos resulta em mudanças nas interações e na comunicação entre pontos da rede e traz benefícios aos clientes. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o papel dos Sistemas de informação nos fatores críticos de sucesso na Cadeia de Suplementos Farmacêuticos, O estudo apresenta uma análise dos conceitos que estão relacionados com a gestão da cadeia e o processo de sistema de informação gerencial, fundamentando uma discussão sobre os requisitos, dificuldades e adaptações  necessários para aumentar a eficiência da cadeia de suprimentos. Utilizando-se fontes bibliográficas procura-se demonstrar  a importância dos sistemas de informações gerenciais e sua influência na cadeia de suprimentos farmacêuticos. Suportado por um estudo de caso de uma grande rede farmacêutica do município de Imperatriz – Maranhão, conclui-se que sistemas de informação adequadamente ajustados às necessidades corporativas, podem auxiliar efetivamente na melhoria da cadeia de suprimentos.

Efficiency Cost

Integrating environmental considerations into supply-chain management has become an increasingly important issue for industry, government and academic researchers. Supply chain managers are being required to respond to the challenges of new legislation, standards and regulations; changing customer demands; drivers for efficiency, cost effectiveness and return on investment; while simultaneously being ‘green’. The fundamental tension between business and environmental drivers is difficult, but critical to understanding how to effectively re-engineer and re-design existing supply chains in a manner that is sustainable both financially and environmentally. Information systems have a significant role to play in supporting corporate responses to environmental management and the development of holistic green logistic solutions. This chapter examines contemporary discussions on the current state of sustainable supply-chain management and green logistics. It presents a case study from the Fujitsu Corporation in Japan and explores models of information systems and RFID use in green logistics. Combining insights from the case and existing models the chapter explores an example of how a combined model can be used to explore the potential of a specific emerging technology (RFIDs) in ‘greening’ supply chains.

Product Quality Improvement

The aim of this paper is to identify whether in an automotive industry context with structural, technological and regulatory problems, information systems help the new product development (NPD) process to achieve development time reduction, cost reduction and product quality improvement due to an easier and more accurate data exchange or only because they allow faster information sharing among chain members. The research was developed using a qualitative and descriptive methodology and adopted as focal company a Brazilian auto parts company in order to evaluate its relationships with three suppliers and its three largest customers, composing three different supply chains (SCs). Results suggest that information systems have been widely used as tools for collaboration among the SC members, with expressive gains in competitiveness because it makes data exchange faster. Nevertheless, significant shortcomings still exist, especially regarding system integration and the consequent integration level among SC members.
