Industry-Wide Supply Chain Information Integration

Experiences from enterprise-wide integration initiatives during more than four decades indicate that industry-wide information integration could render substantial benefits. Two ways in which industry-wide integration differs from enterprise-wide integration are that there is no common management level and the economic units in the integration are the constituent units, not the industry. Management involvement has been emphasized as perhaps the most critical success factor for enterprise-wide information integration. The common economic unit enables increased costs in one part of the organization to lower the total cost in the company as a whole. In this article the authors address which consequence these two differences have for the development of information integration in four industry-wide supply chains. The authors find the existing methods for enterprise-wide information integration, such as BPR, virtually impossible to apply on industrywide information integration and that the disjoint economic responsibility is a hampering aspect in reaching potential benefits of industry-wide information integration.

A wide range of definitions of supply chain management (SCM) have been developed over the last three decades. The philosophy of SCM is based firmly on a recognition that it is only by working in a more integrated manner that competitive advantage can be maximised. However, for this to become a reality the development of common definitions and understandings between supply chain partners is a critical success factor. The corollary of this is that a lack of definitional consistency and a common understanding is an inhibitor to the successful adoption of SCM thinking in practice. This paper reviews a number of definitions of SCM, as well as discussions and analyses of such definitions. This leads to the central point posited in the paper – the need for a ‘unified definition’. Such a definitional construct, labelled the Four Fundamentals of SCM, is proposed with the core of the paper providing a narrative description of this construct based on a wide range of literature.

A supply chain management (SCM) system is a strategic cooperative that organically integrates all supply chains to improve the performance of a company. The greatest critical success factor of SCM is partnership. Without cooperation between companies, SCM performance is limited. Does this imply, therefore, that companies within the supply chain can achieve mutual transactions equally? If the power between companies is unequal, how does this affect their partnership? The focus of this study is to assess whether power types enhance SCM performance through partnerships. We categorize power types as mediated and non-mediated. Mediated power is categorized based on coercion, reward, and legitimate, while non-mediated power is categorized based on information, expert, and reference. Therefore, this study examines how power types form a causal partnership relationship within the supply chain, and performs an empirical investigation on how the partnerships influence SCM performance.

Data Warehouse of Higher Education offers enormous advantages in efficiency, productivity, cost reduction and information integration system. This paper conducted to support success transition of implementation of Data Warehouse of Higher Education in Indonesia (that is called ‘Sistem Pangkalan Data Pendidikan Tinggi or PD-DIKTI in Indonesian) that had been implemented since 2013 ago. However, Data Warehouse of Higher Education implementations are complex, with many encountering difficulty and even failure. Transition of Data Warehouse implementation has been identified as critical success factor. A model that is used to manage the transition of Data Warehouse of Higher Education is Bridge’s Model, where this model is included to top ten leading transition for managing change in the world. The paper is going to summerize the results of a selected relevant articles both of the success implementation new IT technology and how to handle resistance to make transition hoped. In addition, we need to look at the transition models. The paper is hopefully able in changing the better equipped management to get satisfactory decision for all involved in implementing new IT system. This paper also conducted with Action research to get the information trusted.

Pembangunan e-Government sudah menjadi komitmen pemerintah sebagaimana ditetapkan pada Inpres 3/2003 tentang Kebijakan dan Strategi Nasional Pengembangan E-Government. Namun kebijakan pemerintah ini belum sepenuhnya berjalan di pemerintahan lokal sehingga menjadikan e-Government sebagai ujung tombak pemerintahan tidak dapat berjalan dengan baik. Resistensi terhadap perubahan adalah salah satu faktor penghambat dalam pengembangan e-Government. Undang-Undang No.6 Tahun 2014 Tentang Desa menyatakan penyelenggaraan pemerintahan desa dengan memanfaatkan Teknologi Informasi bisa dilakukan melalui e-Government Desa. Diperlukan kajian mendalam terhadap model yang cocok untuk e-Government desa ini. Proses identifikasi terhadap kebutuhan e-Government Desa dilakukan dengan analisis Critical Success Factor (CSF). Hasil analisis menghasilkan empat tahapan model yang terbagi atas dimensi kompleksitas teknologi dan organisasi dengan tingkat integrasi data dan informasi. Sedangkan hasil dari future portfolio dari perkembangan model ini menggunakan McFarlan’s Analyst Grid sehingga modul strategic, high potential, support, dan key operational dapat dijabarkan. Keywords : e-Government, CSF, Desa
