The virtual Web-based supply chain is emerging as a new form of industrial organization. This paper discusses the concept as a juncture of three forces: the virtual organization, Web-based communication and the application service provider (ASP). The virtual organization is a familiar concept in many industries, even without electronic connections. Web-based communication provides access and networks with new institutions. The ASP makes rapid change and flexible connections feasible. Together they establish focus, flexibility and rapid response to change in demand and customer requirements. Casting it in a strategic framework of structure, process and organization provides a basis for projecting its future.

PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to discuss the scope for improving the delivery of FM services through the use of wireless web‐based communications infrastructure, delivered via an application service provider (ASP) business model. This paper discusses the findings from case studies of three organisations and their approach to the management of facilities.Design/methodology/approachAn investigation was undertaken to ascertain the current state of play in terms of managing and tracking processes within the facilities management department of three different organisations. These case studies were chosen from distinct sectors, namely health care, higher education, and banking. Emphasis is placed on analysing how the organisations currently operate with their existing FM systems and the degree of influence technology has on existing processes. This was considered mainly in terms of computer‐aided facilities management (CAFM) and computer‐integrated facilities management (CIFM).FindingsThe study found that a new wireless web‐based service for FM systems would be considered useful. Although notoriously slow adopters of new technology, there was an acceptance by the facilities managers interviewed that a wireless web‐based approach would improve current practice, especially with respect to real‐time job reporting and tracking and in the determination of FM operative working time utilisation.Practical implicationsFurther work by the author is focusing on the development of a suitable demonstrator to illustrate the key concepts of a wireless web‐based FM service which will then be tested and evaluated. For further information, visit the research project web site at www.wirelessfm.org Originality/value – The paper hopefully stimulates discussion in the area of emerging wireless technologies that have the potential to streamline and improve current practices for the management of facilities, in particular that of real‐time job reporting and tracking.

Abstract Profound changes in the way dental practices manage data, patient records, and communication are beginning to unfold. Sooner than most of us can imagine, secured patient medical and dental records will reside on the Internet. Additionally, communication between health care providers and patients will become virtually 100% electronic. As the Application Service Provider (ASP) dental models mature, practices will transition from paper to “paperless” to “web-based” management and clinical systems. This article examines and explains these future frontiers. Citation Freydberg BK. Connecting to Success: Practice Management on the Net. J Contemp Dent Pract 2001;(2)3: 050-061.

On Time Delivery

To address rapid change in the environment, enterprises increase their competitiveness through supply chain collaboration to efficiently allocate resources. However, supply chain collaboration usually fails because information is usually confidential, and many resources have to be devoted to leverage different business ideas and information systems. Although many studies have discussed strategies of supply chain collaboration, only a few of the strategies can be implemented in practice. Therefore, this research builds an information exchange platform to permit production and inventory information to be shared and analyzed online to ensure on-time delivery. This platform is implemented in a panel manufacturing company to establish the usefulness of the strategies and the constructed system. After implementing the system, on-time delivery increases 10% and quality increases more than 2%. This result demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed system in practice and strengthens the value of this research.

This case study will describe the efforts behind designing a first iteration of an evolutionary, iterative enterprise-wide data warehouse for AIIA Corp., a financial application service provider. The study demonstrates the importance of the following steps during a data-warehousing project: a welldefined mission, effective requirement collection, detailed logical definitions, and an efficient methodology for source systems and infrastructure development. AIIA is a financial distributor that offers separately managed account and investment products with practice management services to financial advisors through a Web-based portal that can also be configured and private-labeled for the advisors to use with their clients. Unlike most companies, AIIA offers the advisors a hybrid of investment information and technology solutions, both designed with an open architecture.

This paper questions the nature of the communicative event that takes place in online contexts between doctors and web-users, showing computer-mediated linguistic norms and discussing the nature of the participants’ roles. Based on an analysis of 1005 posts occurring between doctors and the users of health service websites, I analyse how doctor–patient communication is affected by the medium and how health professionals overcome issues concerning the virtual medical visit. Results suggest that (a) online medical answers offer a different service from that expected by users, as doctors cannot always fulfill patient requests, and (b) net consultations use aspects of traditional doctor–patient exchange and yet present a language and a style that are affected by the computer-mediated environment. Additionally, it seems that this new form leads to a different model of doctor–patient relationship. The findings are intended to provide new insights into web-based discourse in doctor–patient communication and to demonstrate the emergence of a new style in medical communication.
