We hope that this will provide managers a more consistent understanding of buyer-supplier relationships in the B2B e-commerce context. </span></span></p>

PurposeData-driven quality management systems, brought about by the implementation of digitisation and digital technologies, is an integral part of improving supply chain management performance. The purpose of this study is to determine a methodology to aid the implementation of digital technologies and digitisation of the supply chain to enable data-driven quality management and the reduction of waste from manufacturing processes.Design/methodology/approachMethodologies from both the quality management and data science disciplines were implemented together to test their effectiveness in digitalising a manufacturing process to improve supply chain management performance. The hybrid digitisation approach to process improvement (HyDAPI) methodology was developed using findings from the industrial use case.FindingsUpon assessment of the existing methodologies, Six Sigma and CRISP-DM were found to be the most suitable process improvement and data mining methodologies, respectively. The case study revealed gaps in the implementation of both the Six Sigma and CRISP-DM methodologies in relation to digitisation of the manufacturing process.Practical implicationsValuable practical learnings borne out of the implementation of these methodologies were used to develop the HyDAPI methodology. This methodology offers a pragmatic step by step approach for industrial practitioners to digitally transform their traditional manufacturing processes to enable data-driven quality management and improved supply chain management performance.Originality/valueThis study proposes the HyDAPI methodology that utilises key elements of the Six Sigma DMAIC and the CRISP-DM methodologies along with additions proposed by the author, to aid with the digitisation of manufacturing processes leading to data-driven quality management of operations within the supply chain.

Business Applications

Recent advances in supply chain management information systems (SCM IS) have enabled firms to more fully collaborate with their supply chain partners — driving out costs while increasing responsiveness to market demands. This chapter examines various types of SCM IS — from traditional EDI systems to more recent Web-services-based e-business applications. It argues that the approach best suited for an organization depends in part on the degree of integration between the partners, the complexity of the business processes, and the number of partners involved. A model is presented for analyzing the costs and benefits that can be expected from each type of SCM IS. The model enables researchers and practitioners to better understand the differences among SCM IS and thus can help reduce the risks of implementing these valuable yet complex information systems.

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.

Per Se

Das Ziel dieses Beitrags war, ein Verständnis über Reifegradmodelle zu erarbeiten und Potenziale sowie Grenzen der Anwendung in betriebswirtschaftlichen Bereichen aufzuzeigen. Dazu wurde der Begriff des Reifegradmodells von drei Perspektiven beleuchtet sowie eine Auswahl von Einsatzgebieten skizziert und mit Beispielen belegt. Im Ergebnis des Beitrags wurde deutlich, dass Reifegradmodelle per se sehr variabel verwendbare Instrumente sind, welche in nahezu allen denkbaren Bereichen im Unternehmen eingesetzt werden können und eine Reihe von Vorteilen mit sich bringen. Es wurde jedoch auch hervorgehoben, dass der Einsatz von Reifegradmodellen überlegt erfolgen muss, um die genannten Vorteile zu erlangen. Maturity models are management tools, which are mainly applied in Information Systems and Informatics. However, their roots are to be found in Business Administration, particularly in Quality Management. Therefore, the following article aims at introducing the concept of maturity models from a linguistic, an application-based, and a structural perspective prior to exemplarily presenting potential application domains in management and business administration.
