“…(2) KMS examples: this research illustrates the implementation of KMS in various fields such as agriculture (Zheng et al 2012), engineering (Tiwana and Ramesh 2001), manufacturing and logistics (Karacapilidis, Adamides, and Evangelou 2006;Wang et al 2010), and so on. It emphasises just how useful KMS are, irrespective of the application domain.…”

Eco-design is becoming a crucial challenge for many companies. The effective integration of environmental concerns into design is linked to the development of Knowledge Management Systems (KMS). In this context, this paper proposes a framework to support the design of KMS for eco-design. This framework consists of two complementary parts linked to the main knowledge management strategies that KMS generally support. The first part of the framework concerns codification strategy and relies on an eco-design process reference model and the related adaptation of the GAMETH ® method used to locate and evaluate crucial knowledge systematically. The second part of the framework concerns the personalisation strategy. In this paper we propose to exploit the community of practice (CoP) theory by: (1) proposing guidelines defining the structural features of CoPs and (2) adapting a tool landscape providing insight on CoP instrumentation. Both guidelines support the setting up of a specific CoP. The exploitation of the framework is illustrated on a real case study. IntroductionSustainable development is currently becoming not only a crucial social issue but also a major challenge for companies. In this context, eco-design, which aims at providing customer and business value whilst significantly decreasing environmental impacts (Jones, Stanton, and Harrison 2001), can provide a competitive advantage regarding the customers' expectations.In practice, eco-design must however not result in a longer product development process (negatively affecting the time to market) (Tukker, Haag, and Eder 2000). Moreover, the survey on which we draw also suggests that higher costs cannot be tolerated since the consumer seems unwilling to pay a significant premium for environmentally friendly products.In this sense, eco-design represents a huge challenge for many companies, which try to organise themselves in order to meet the constraints described above. One way of successfully doing so may be to design and implement specific knowledge management systems (KMS) as described in (Hesselbach, Herrmann, and Mansour 2003) and (Gunasekaran and Ngai 2007). Such systems support the creation, transfer and use of knowledge in a given organisation (Alavi and Leidner 2001). However, setting them up from scratch seems difficult, and existing methodologies and guidelines are not specifically dedicated to the eco-design field.In this context, the objective of this paper is to define generic knowledge codification and personalisation strategies for eco-design, in order to provide a complete framework for the design of KMS in this field. The paper is structured as follows. Section 2 details the eco-design concept, its success factors underlying the importance of KMS, and a review of the state of the art of the methods and guidelines dedicated to the design of such systems. Section 3 details the generic knowledge codification strategy we propose. It is based on an adaptation of the general analysis methodology called GAMETH ® (Grundstein 2009) and on a reference e...

“…As pointed out by Branska and Lostakova (2001), one very powerful way to overcome some of these challenges is the integration of business logistics systems with logistics systems of suppliers and customers using collaboration approaches such as Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR). Collaboration and integration in the context of supply chains has been widely discussed in recent years (Chandra and Kumar 2000;Byrne and Heavey 2006;Holmström et al, 2006;Jiao et al, 2008;Liston et al, 2008;Jain et al, 2009;Wang et al, 2010;Derrouiche et al, 2010;Sundram et al, 2011;.…”

Purpose-Although many papers purport the significant value attributable to supply chain performance from the use of Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR), the question of 'what are the main constructs and efficient framework for successful implementation of CPFR?' remains largely unanswered. This question will be addressed by identifying and analysing the main constructs for successful implementation of CPFR. This paper attempts first to seek answers to this question. Second, to review the scope and value of CPFR using a devised state-ofthe-art taxonomy for the classification of selected bibliographical references and third, to develop a conceptual framework by identifying areas which need more research.Design/methodology/approach-The method underlying this paper followed the steps of a systematic literature review process outlined by Soni and Kodali (2011). The review is based on a total of 93 papers published from 1998 to 2013 on CPFR. Findings-Four main constructs for successful implementation of CPFR have been identified:CPFR enablers, CPFR barriers, trading partner selection and incentive alignment. The findings indicate that there is a need for better understanding of the amount and level of information sharing as an important function of CPFR implementation. The paper also illustrates a number of shortcomings in the current literature and provides suggestions to guide future research on implementing CPFR in different industries.Practical implications-This paper is of interest to both academicians and practitioners as it helps to better understand the concept and role of CPFR in supply chain integration and its implementation results, enablers and inhibitors. The proposed framework in this paper can be used to give insight for future research and practice.
