Business Intelligence Support for Supply Chain Management

Abstract

This paper presents a system called SC 2 , which has been developed based on the business intelligence paradigm in order to better support the management of dynamic supply chains. SC 2 is a multi-agent decision support system that offers an integrated environment for dealing with the production, distribution and sales chains. Via a lean interface based on XML and CORBA, SC 2 can obtain reliable, timely and interoperable information from the supply chain members, comprising a number of heterogeneous information sources and legacy systems. Results are presented and discussed at the end of the paper.

A Generic Framework Based on Machine Learning Techniques for Virtual Organization Management
