“…It directly affects the very survival of the business and its partners. For Jiménez and Muñoz (2006), this activity is the mechanism that brings together the industries, the retailers and the customers, involving important elements that are generally taken into consideration by the customers at the moment of deciding which business they will become partners with. Structuring these services is fundamental for any value chain and this is not any different from the department store segment.…”

Inventory management through the supply chains is a theme that has always enticed managers throughout the world. Due to the increase in market competitiveness and complexity, the traditional statistical models of forecasting demand, based on time series, no longer met the needs imposed on businesses to maintain adequate levels of their inventory and supply interruptions. With the intent to meet these market demands, ERP systems appeared in the 1990's. Nevertheless, even if allowing for a more adequate level of inventory and supply interruptions achieved mainly by the optimization of internal processes and the reduction in lead time, ERP systems did not contribute to reach the SCM's desired levels of inventory that were aimed at by the more competitive businesses. This is because ERP limits itself to an internal analysis of the business. By contrast, inventory management depends on the consumption information (which is external to the business). Aiming to improve even further the level of 368 Salgado Junior, A. P., Novi, J. C., Pacagnella Junior, A. C. Vol.8, No. 2, 2011, p. 367-388 services delivered to the end consumer, new solutions have been developed, among them the e-SCM, which, since it makes consumption information available in real time, ends up being more dynamic and efficient than the traditional demand forecasting models, Therefore, the present study aims to analyze how the e-SCM can collaborate in maintaining adequate levels of inventory and interruptions in the supply chains. The hypothesis made is that the traditional statistical forecasting models, based on time series and isolatedly, are no longer adequate to adjust the demand, as the tools based on these models do not update the demand in real time and this is fundamental in the current business dynamics. The research method used was the study of multiple cases in a segment of a chain involving a large retailer, its Distribution Center and a supplier of home appliances. For the analysis of the data, the content analysis technique was used. As main results, it was observed that, after the integration of the chain segment by the e-SCM, there was a reduction in the level of the inventory (36.8% in retail and 18% in the industry) and in inventory turnover (from 18.3 to 5.1 days in retail and from 19.6 to 3.2 days in the Distribution Center), aside from the variation in the interruption (from 17.3% to 2.6% in retail and from 3% to 0.1% in the case of the Distribution Center). Therefore, the study brings forth strong indication that the integration of the chain through the e-SCM, may contribute to the SCM's competitiveness.Keywords: e-SCM. Demand Forecast.

“…Although many large-scale organizations have long ago moved from the conventional methods of tracking their products using physical ledgers, emails, and excel sheets to an IT-based technology infrastructure such as EDI and SAP (Enterprise Resource Planning systems), the real challenge in tackling the seamless flow of products and achieving the visibility of products at every stage is still unaddressed [3,4]. Additionally, as these technologies are centralized database management technologies, they are vulnerable to manipulation and security threats.…”

Background: Blockchain is a digitally managed, distributed, and decentralized ledger used to record transactions in an immutable format. Its characteristics in providing trust, transparency, and traceability make it attractive for applications where transactions are involved. Originally intended to support financial transactions, the technology has gained attention even in non-financial sectors such as health care, manufacturing, retail, and government services. Methods: For centuries, the various functions of manufacturing industries have worked based on the relationship and trust that they have with their upstream and downstream stakeholders. In addition, as the conventional factories are growing into giant gigafactories, the participation of several intermediaries further complicates the supply chain and logistics operations. Hence, the article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the role of blockchain technology in addressing supply chain and logistics-related challenges by analyzing, organizing, and reviewing the literature. Results: The study shows that blockchain technology can transform the supply chain and logistics into secure, agile, trusted, and transparent functions. A conceptualized application scenario demonstrates the benefits of blockchain technology in providing provenance and traceability to critical products. Conclusions: In particular, a private or permissioned blockchain is suitable for multi-organizational businesses such as supply chain and logistics. In addition, IoT-blockchain integration, smart contracts, and asset tracking has immense benefits in the future.

“…Using EDI, the information interchanged is very widely, covering from sales (tracking back any purchase order), to financing and accountability (notifications of payments and rejected demands for payment) passing thought inventory control (product planning). For example, the objectives of all EDI systems is to improve the efficiency of the company by minimizing some of the most common problems associated to the supply chain management (out of stock, low inventories, achieve a certain product rotation...) (Jimenez & Munoz, 2006). Many inter-organizational systems are increasingly using electronic data interchange to support the strategic supply chain by way of delivering and processing business documents.…”

The pace of change in technology has accelerated rapidly in the past decade providing various opportunities to companies to improve their efficiency and competitiveness. One of the useful and cost effective technological innovation is electronic data interchange (EDI). EDI has being increasingly used in many industries, as companies realized the potential benefits and competitive advantages of adopting electronic data exchange in their operations. EDI is strategically important, because good information systems are critical to the survival of many organizations. This paper presents an application of EDI in a SME in automotive industry in Turkey. With this study, our aim is to show the benefits of using EDI applications, explain how companies easily implement EDI in their system and what the advantages of these applications are
