and information along the entire supply chain.
Topic 2: Information in the

The success of contemporary, highly sophisticated supply

system technology allowing for collaboration between all
information points.
Topic 3: External Supply Chain
Structures

supplier partnerships and strategic alliances as a result
of the move to reduce total lead times, reduce inventories
ad achieve time-advantage over competitors.

that enable cross-organizational information flow, linking
customer and vendor systems, and simplifying the management
of outsourced supply chain components.

to customer requirements, market leaders are co-ordinating
their activities and integrating partnerships, processes,
tools, and information across the supply chain.

achievement.
