The study considers digital supply management from the perspective of the involvement in international trade. A SWOT analysis of the concept has been carried out; the concept strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats have been highlighted. The hypothesis has been thoroughly considered through the example of the following countries: the Russian Federation (RF), the People's Republic of China, and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG); in particular, the correlation between the volume of external traffic and the investment in SCM software was built. It has been revealed that in some countries an increase in the volume of external traffic due to an increase in investment in SCM software is associated with the complication and globalization of supply chains, which increases the competitiveness of goods and services of these countries. A composite index that takes into account the efficiency of the supply chain using digital technologies has been developed.

Main Change

In this paper we take a closer look at developments in supply management. The main change in this discipline seems to be (2011) that cooperation and risk management are taking over the classical silo based way of looking at business. Companies start to learn that transactions block the profits throughout the chain. Or, to put it the other way around, supply chain parties learn that sharing interests is earning much more money and that supply chains become ‘faster, cheaper and better’.

Context: Healthcare supply chain management is the regulation of the flow of medical goods and services from manufacturers to patients. Supply chain management encompasses the planning and managing of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all logistics management activities. Therefore, it greatly helps material managers to manage through continuous improvement efforts while maintaining the quality of care. Moreover, reinforcing healthcare logistics information technology (IT) architecture immediately leads to more patient satisfaction. Objectives: This study aimed to develop an architecture for designing efficient software aiding with the management of the healthcare supply chain. Methods: This study showed the role of digital services in the improvement of the clinical regime of patients by presenting different approaches with distinguishing the main types of hospital logistics, such as physical flow management, food safety, and cold chain management approaches (e.g., “moving forward”), and modeling these components using the solution architecture principles of ITs, such as Business Process Model and Notation. Results: This study proposed a hospital enterprise architecture by modeling a system to have a base for building a digital catering service that improves the clinical regime of patients.

Purpose This study aims to indicate the advantages of using cloud computing services, including the ways in which firms use cloud-based services to achieve accessibility, better communication, flexibility and effective provision of services. However, little evidence has been obtained related to the effectiveness of applying cloud computing services to supply management chains. Design/methodology/approach In this study, a sample of 223 top 1,000 manufacturing firms in Taiwan that had implemented cloud-based supply chain management systems (CSCMs) was surveyed to determine what kind of internal resources in these companies were allocated to this implementation effort, how collaborative relationships were established in the existing supply chain to help make the transitions successful, how well their systems are working now that they have been implemented and whether these new systems have improved cycle time performance and the overall performance of their organizations. The study also examines the interrelationships among these variables. Findings The results reveal that, from the perspective of the managers who were surveyed, an effective allocation of internal organizational resources does have a positive, strong effect on external CSCM conditions. They also showed that when the relationship between internal and external resources is well constructed, the result is that CSCM improves supply chain management cycle time performance, which, in turn, leads to positive organizational performance. Originality/value The study reports some useful insights from the managers of CSCM systems related to how the execution of CSCM solutions can improve cycle time and organizational performance by enhancing internal organizational management and joint collaboration among supply chain partners. The findings from this survey will be useful to managers who are considering creating cloud-based supply management systems in the future.

The main purposes and challenges in supply chain management are reducing cost and time. Significantly, factors such as the competition of markets in the globe, limitation of energy, raw and virgin materials, environmental protection crisis and increasing of global population dramatically are causing unprecedented issues for the worldwide supply chains for providing goods and services to customers efficiently and effectively. The sustainability approach for Supply Chain Management (SCM) considers the 6Rs principles in four main stages of the supply chains: Pre-manufacture, Manufacture, Use and Post-use. The use of Multi-Agent System (MAS) prepares the most important requirements of an effective sustainable supply chain. At the same time, this agent-based approach provides reliable and agile systems, which will enable enterprises to accommodate ever changing needs of their customers in the future. In this article, the use of MAS for optimal Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) is reviewed and the integrated functioning of certain agents resulting in information sharing is also demonstrated. With this idea, an attempt is made to provide a MAS model for the SSCM. In the proposed model, each agent performs a specific function of the organization and shares information with other agents. In order to describe this multi-agent based approach, a simple case study is given to illustrate the sustainable supply chain operations.

Abstract— The supply chain management of the coconut industry in the Sula Islands district is still felt to be ineffective and inefficient. The advantage of effective supply chain management is to get maximum speed when goods and services move through the supply chain channel, lower costs, and increase added value for customers and product competitiveness in the market. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the management of the coconut industry supply chain. The method used is descriptive qualitative analysis. Those who play a role in the coconut supply chain in the Sula Islands district are farmers, collectors I, collectors II, owners of home industries, transport vehicle owners and marine vessels as modes of transportation. With this supply chain channel, there are only a few benefits for farmers and business operators. The added value of coconut and copra is very small, meaning that the economic value obtained is very small. To provide greater economic value for residents of the Sula Islands district, especially for coconut farmers and coconut entrepreneurs, so coconut fruit must be processed not only until copra, but made in industrial scale coconut oil.Keywords— Supply Chain; Coconut; Industry; Coconut oil; Sula Islands Regency. Abstrak— Manajemen rantai pasok industri kelapa di kabupaten Kepulauan Sula masih dirasakan belum efektif dan efisien. Keuntungan manajemen rantai pasok yang efektif adalah   untuk   mendapatkan   kecepatan   maksimal pada saat barang dan jasa bergerak melalui jalur rantai pasok, menurunkan biaya, serta meningkatkan nilai tambah bagi pelanggan dan daya saing produk di pasar. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis   pengelolaan   rantai   pasokan industri kelapa. Metode yang digunakan adalah Analisis deskriptif kualitatif.  Yang berperan dalam rantai pasokan kelapa di kabupaten Kepulauan Sula adalah petani, pengepul I, pengepul II, pemilik industri rumahan, pemilik kendaraan angkut dan kapal laut sebagai moda transportasi. Dengan jalur Rantai Pasokan seperti ini hanya sedikit keuntungan yang didapat oleh petani maupun pelaku usaha. Nilai Tambah dari Kelapa dan Kopra sangat kecil, berarti Nilai ekonomi yang didapatpun sangat kecil. Untuk memberikan nilai ekonomi lebih besar bagi penduduk kabupaten Kepulauan Sula, terutama bagi petani Kelapa dan pelaku usaha Kelapa, makanya buah Kelapa harus diolah tidak hanya sampai Kopra, tetapi dibuat minyak Kelapa berskala industri.Kata kunci— Rantai Pasok; Kelapa; Industri; Minyak Kelapa; Kabupaten Kepulauan Sula.
