Recently, many companies are competing against each other to be the first to offer new product in the market, even when offering new products brings additional challenges for their operations. At the same time, information technology is chosen as the most effective solution to help company facing supply chain problems that arise due to increasing flow of materials and information in the supply chain. However, many companies still do not fully considered the importance of aligning the needs of information technology with the supply chain and business conditions. This paper conduct a structured literature review on the influence of product variety, supply chain complexity, and the needs level of information technology. Based on the literature review a conceptual framework is developed that highlight three propositions: the potential relations between product variety and supply chain complexity, supply chain complexity and information technology, and the importance of aligning the implementation of information technology with the company's business condition. Finally, the main propositions from this study is that there are potential connections among product variety, supply chain complexity, business condition and information technology.
5 ABSTRAKSemakin berkembangnya teknologi saat ini berbanding lurus dengan kebutuhan akan proses mengelola dan monitoring jaringan yang lebih efektif dan efisien. TE (Traffic Engineering) dikembangkan untuk mengoptimalkan arus data dalam jaringan untuk memenuhi tingkat QoS (Quality of Services) dalam penggunaan jaringan. Namun, TE memiliki tantangan dalam hal kompleksitas komunikasi dan algoritma yang dapat meningkatkan kebutuhan akan sumber daya jaringan. SDN (Software Defined Networking) merupakan suatu teknologi jaringan terbaru untuk mengatasi tantangan yang ada pada TE. Dengan pengaturan secara terpusat (centralized control) dan lebih fleksible, SDN secara signifikan dapat memangkas penggunaan sumber daya jaringan komunikasi yang dibutuhkan untuk kebermanfaatan sumber daya jaringan secara keseluruhan. Makalah ini akan mengulas beberapa literatur terkait metode optimasi routing pada jaringan dengan menggunakan teknologi SDN yang berfokus pada SDN-WAN (Software Defined Networking -Wide Area Network).
Managing product variety is a challenging problem given the increasing complexity of supply chain networks. To overcome this complexity, managing integration in the supply chain is essential for companies to coordinate effectively. By managing the influx of information exchange between the various entities involved in the supply chain network, integration can be achieved successfully. In this paper, we are targeting research questions regarding the impact of the influx of information exchange on product variety and supply chain networks and the key factors influencing its exchange from different industries’ perspectives. To investigate our research questions and to conduct a case study across different industries and companies, this study aims to explore the impact of supply chain network complexity, which causes an influx of information exchange due to increasing product variety through qualitative research. In our results, by categorizing the raw interview data, we visualize correspondent opinions to facilitate deep analysis, including factors such as product variety, supply chain networks, and information exchange. The key factors that can influence the influx of information exchange from different industries’ and companies’ perspectives are presented in our results to provide valuable insights into the significant factors affecting the success of the smart business.
