“…[32]. Leukel et al [38] establish the term 'supply chain as a service' (SCaaS) and define the terms cloud, supply chain system, (composite) supply chain service and classification scheme. SCaaS is added as another layer to the standard layers of CC on top of SaaS.…”

“…On the one hand, there is the 'classic' view adapted from CC with the layers of IaaS/PaaS/SaaS that could be extended with a layer on domain-specific logistics services (i.e. Business ProcessaaS [26], Process-aaS [37], SCaaS [38]). This view comes with difficulties, as computational resources are getting less physical from IaaS to SaaS but the domain specific layer on top again builds on other physical resources.…”

Abstract-By adopting principles of cloud computing to the logistics domain the paradigm of Cloud Logistics is derived. It appears to be a promising paradigm in order to evolve logistics into being more flexible and collaborative. Yet, appropriate concepts that enable the cloud logistics paradigm are missing. In the paper, existing body of literature is reviewed and a definition and a framework of cloud logistics is given. Further, service blueprinting is combined with domain engineering and general morphological analysis in order to create a suitable method for designing cloud oriented service blueprints. Those are focusing on domain-specific flows and transformations enabling cloud oriented business collaboration. The method is applied to the logistics domain and a cloud logistics service blueprint is designed. Finally, the concept is evaluated with real use cases from logistics service providers.

“…The interpretation of cloud principles in the logistics domain leads to the paradigm of 'cloud logistics', 'Logisticsas-a-Service' (LaaS) [16], or 'Supply Chain as a Service' (SCaaS) [17]. Core of the idea is to define a new service type next to Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service and Software-as-a-Service.…”

“…Core of the idea is to define a new service type next to Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Platform-as-a-Service and Software-as-a-Service. Involved resources of logistics are hidden behind a common predefined interface and can be added, reconfigured and removed 'on-demand' responding to customers' needs [17]. However, reaction times are of course higher, as resource allocation (e.g.…”

Abstract-Logistics service providers are facing the need to collaborate because of ongoing trends like outsourcing and concentration on core competencies. The paradigm of cloud logistics promises to make collaboration in the logistics domain more easy and more flexible by adopting the principles of cloud computing to the logistics domain. To ensure the success of cloud computing to the paradigm of cloud logistics as well, standards have to be developed. With the help of the service blueprinting method, a basic logistics module is developed in order to lay a foundation for cloud logistics.

“…The use of Cloud can minimise these two drawbacks and offer more opportunities to offer better delivery of supply chain education and supply chain business model (Chang et al, 2011 e;2011 f;Leukel, J., Kirn, S. and Schlegel, 2011). This explains the importance of adopting the right technologies.…”

This chapter proposes a new Supply Chain Business Model in the Education domain and demonstrates how Education as a Service (EaaS) can be delivered. The implementation at the University of Greenwich (UoG) is used as a case study. Cloud computing business models are classified into eight Business Models; this classification is essential to the development of EaaS. A pair of the Hexagon Models are used to review Cloud projects against success criteria; one Hexagon Model focuses on Business Model and the other on IT Services. The UoG case study demonstrates the added value offered by Supply Chain software deployed by private Cloud, where an Oracle suite and SAP supply chain can demonstrate supply chain distribution and is useful for teaching. The evaluation shows that students feel more motivated and can understand their coursework better.
