Supply Chain Management (SCM) has proven to be an effective tool that aids companies in the development of competitive advantages. SCM Systems are relied on to manage warehouses, transportation, trade logistics and various other issues concerning the coordinated movement of products and services from suppliers to customers. Although in today’s fast paced business environment, numerous supply chain solution tools are readily available to companies, choosing the right SCM software is not an easy task. The complexity of SCM systems creates a multifaceted issue when selecting the right software, particularly in light of the speed at which technology evolves. In this chapter, we use the approach of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine which SCM software best meets the needs of a company. The AHP approach outlined in this paper can be easily transferred to the comparison of other SCM software packages.

As the practices of offshoring and outsourcing force the supply chain networks to keep on expanding geographically in the globalised environment, the logistics processes are becoming more exposed to risk and disruptions. Thus, modern supply chains seem to be more vulnerable than ever. It is clear that efficient logistics risk and security management emerges as an issue of pivotal importance in such competitive, demanding and stochastic environment and is thus vital for the viability and profitability of a company. In this context, this chapter focuses on a set of stochastic quantitative models that study the impact of one or more supply chain disruptions on optimal determination of single period inventory control policies. The purpose of this research is to provide a critical review of state-of-the-art methodologies to be used as a starting point for further research efforts.

Supplier Innovations- & Know-How-Days dienen dazu, die Innovationsfähigkeit innerhalb eines Unternehmens langfristig zu stärken. Besonders durch die Vermittlung neuer Innovationsmöglichkeiten an die Mitarbeiter (Know-How und Kontakte) wird die Fähigkeit des Unternehmens, neuartige Produkte und Prozesse zu generieren, positiv beeinflusst. Des Weiteren wird durch Netzwerkbildung zu anderen Organisationen auf unterschiedlichen Funktions- und Fachebenen der Grundstein für zukünftige Wertschöpfungspartnerschaften gelegt. Damit bieten sich für Unternehmen besonders in der Automobilbranche Möglichkeiten, die Öffnung des unternehmensinternen Innovationsprozesses weiter auszubauen und von einer intensiven Lieferanteneinbindung zukünftig zu profitieren. Der optimale Einsatz von „Lieferanteninnovationstagen“ schafft somit langfristigen Nutzen im Hinblick auf Innovationsfähigkeit und Lieferanteneinbindung. To retain international competitiveness, many companies are currently facing an enormous pressure to innovate. To withstand this pressure, organizations are increasingly using external sources of innovation. Therefore the importance of networking with other firms within the supply chain has risen sharply in recent years. Thus, an extension of the classical concept of purchasing contributes to the innovative force of a company.
