Understanding data supply chains by using the Supply-Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model

REA Auditado

Spatial data such as roads and land parcels is increasingly becoming a commodity that is being created with the aim to sell or to provide spatial information to other institutions for further processing or to decision makers to aid in their decision processes. This paper looks into the spatial data supply chain of ESI-GIS unit of Eskom and the use of an adapted SCOR model (GISDataSCOR) to model and analyse the supply chain. Spatial data needs to be sourced from various sources (SOURCE), which is then stored in a data warehouse.

Proactive sustainability in Russian wood supply chains

REA Auditado

In 2002, potential risks deriving from emerging normative demands in the corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate sustainability (CS) debate prompted Axel Springer to rethink their supply chain strategy for Russian wood. Being one of the first movers in corporate social responsibility in the publishing business, Axel Springer realized that current Russian practices in the logging sector could spark future public discussion that might put pressure on Axel Springer, a key player in these supply chains.

Managing business dynamics with adaptive supply chain portfolios

REA Auditado

Practitioners and scholars readily agree that firms need to frequently adapt their supply chain portfolios to respond to today's rapidly evolving business dynamics. Adapting a well established supply chain portfolio, however, may involve high costs and expose a firm to unforeseeable risks. In this paper we address this issue. We differentiate business dynamics into product portfolio dynamics and global business dynamics and classify supply chain adaptation into high, medium and low.

Adapting the SCOR model to suit the military: A South African example

REA Auditado

The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model has been widely used as a tool for supply chain analysis in commercial environments, since its creation by the Supply Chain Council. More recently the SCOR model has been used during the analysis of military supply chains, therefore it was decided that supply chain management in conjunction with the SCOR model should be used during a logistics and supply chain improvement project for the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

Using supply chain management to enable GIS units to improve their response to their customers' needs

REA Auditado

One of the challenges according to Dangermond (1999) and Tomlinson (2000) for GIS units in the 21st century is to be able to manage themselves successfully in order to deliver the right product at the right time to the right customer. Tomlinson (2000) also indicated that there will be several management tools available to assist GIS units to enable them to manage themselves successfully. This paper discusses such a management tool, namely supply chain management.

Interrelating operational and financial performance measurements in inventory control

REA Auditado

Financial supply chain management and working capital management are increasingly receiving attention as important avenues to increase profitability in supply chains. By actively managing payment terms and working capital requirements, managers can influence financial performance and achieve significant cost savings. However, measures to improve financial performance implicitly restrict and influence operational performance. In our research we elaborate on the benefits of equally considering both operational and financial aspects in decision-making for the physical and financial supply chain.

Use of supply chains and supply chain managment to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of GIS units

REA Auditado

The objective of this study is to provide a tool, namely the establishment of supply chains and supply chain management to manage this chain, enabling a GIS unit to respond to the needs of their customers with the right product at the right time in an efficient and effective manner.

Using SCM and SCOR in managing GIS products

REA Auditado

This is a concept poster which examines the use of supply chain management in planning and managing large or data-intensive Geographic Information System (GIS) projects. Current management models in GIS are either on an organisational or a project level. There is no single management model that manages the flow of data (materials), information and money from the supplier to the client's production.
