“…Similar to the test cases with which the workshop procedure has been validated, the storage use case example deals with storage processes for goods entry and picking processes for goods exit [29]. The third use case example deals with a fast-growing fashion retail company concentrating on e-commerce but having more and more stores as well.…”

In the course of the ongoing era of digitization, cyber-physical systems and complex event processing belong to the most discussed technologies nowadays. The huge challenge that digitization is forming to the transportation and logistics sector is largely accepted by the responsible organizations. Despite initial steps being taken towards digitized value-creation, many professionals wonder about how to realize the ideas and stumble with the precise steps to be taken. With the vision of smart logistics in mind and cost-efficient technologies available, they require a systematic methodology to exploit the potentials accompanying digitization. With the help of an effective and targeted workshop procedure, potentially appropriate application areas with promising benefit potentials can be identified effectively. Such a workshop procedure needs to be a stepwise approach in order to carefully consider all the relevant aspects and to allow for organizational acceptance to grow. In three real-world use case examples from different areas of the transportation and logistics industry, promising applications of cyber-physical systems and complex event processing are identified and pertaining event patterns of critical situations developed in order to make realization easier at a later stage. Each use case example exhibits a frequently occurring problem that can be effectively addressed by using the above-mentioned technology.

“…Some organizations have adopted the SC Operations Reference (SCOR) model to monitor and control SC (Zhou et al , 2011), it offers a comprehensive methodology to improve SC operations (Georgise et al , 2012) and deliver better value to the customers (Sukati et al , 2011). Recently, due to digital technology development related to the Internet and logistics, many organizations use a SC control tower (SCCT) to solve the problem of the information availability between partners (Alias et al , 2014). Using SCCT enhances information visibility, increases partners’ collaboration and encourages innovative solutions (Hanifan et al , 2014).…”

Purpose Supply chain control tower (SCCT) has emerged as a new tool for SC management. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of SCCT on the competitive advantage of the Jordanian Pharmaceutical Manufacturing (JPM) Organizations. Design/methodology/approach To actualize this study, the data are collected from 132 managers working at JPM Organizations by questionnaire. After confirming the normality, validity and reliability of the tool, descriptive analysis carried out, and the correlation between variables checked. Finally, the impact tested by multiple regressions. Findings The results show that the JPM organizations implement both SCCT elements and competitive advantage dimensions. Results show that there is a strong correlation among SCCT elements, among competitive advantage dimensions and between SCCT and competitive advantage. Finally, results indicate that SCCT has a significant positive effect on the total competitive advantage. SCCT affects quality, cost, reliability and responsiveness respectively; however, it does not have a significant effect on innovation. Research limitations/implications The current study conducted on JPM Organizations. Therefore, to check results generalizability, it is recommended to conduct such research on other industries and countries. Practical implications Managers should apply SCCT, because it provides real-time information, which is visible to all partners. Therefore, SCCT has to be included within organizations’ vision, mission, strategies and implemented in daily practices. Social implications SCCT helps to improve quality and reduce cost, which enhances the quality of life and society welfare. Originality/value This study may be considered as one of the few studies that tackle the issue of SCCT in pharmaceutical industry.
