“…Channel visibility is typically referred to as the capacity of supply chain members to provide, share, or retrieve the required timely information (Goh et al, 2009). Given the omni-channel framework, the information can be about products, consumers, inventories, deliveries, returns, and so on.…”

The omni-channel, as an emerging trend in retail, aims to coordinate processes and technologies across supply and sales channels. The evolution of this concept is still nascent. This paper develops a conceptual framework for omni-channel systems, configured by three dimensions of channel stage, channel type and channel agent. Integration and visibility are also explored and discussed as the main enablers, which support the implementation of omnichannel framework.This research is built upon the empirical and secondary data. Multiple case studies and expert interview methods are employed for data collection to validate the recommended framework and to explore its applicability.The framework proposed, along with the key integration and visibility enablers identified for the omni-channel, can be applied to a wide range of retail supply chains. It helps managers to develop, run and monitor omni-channel systems; it may also serve as a stepping-stone for development of the literature on omni-channel systems.

“…Supply chain visibility is the capability of a supply chain player to access necessary information on complex supply chain networks in a timely manner for better decisionmaking (Goh et al, 2009). The visibility is the outcome of inter-firm communication and information sharing between transaction partners in supply chain networks.…”

Despite the huge potential benefits of radio frequency identification (RFID) in collaborative use with transaction partners, many companies are reluctant to implement RFID with their partners and skeptical of its strategic value in inter-firm, supply chain networks. However, existing research is concentrated on the internal adoption and benefit measurement of RFID system, without careful consideration of the strategic value in an inter-organizational context at implementation stage. Hence, this study empirically identifies the reciprocal strategic value of RFID implementation in inter-firm, supply chain networks based on the resource-based theory and social capital theory. Additionally, mutual quality constructs of RFID system from an interorganizational context are investigated as determinants of the strategic value. Empirical results have shown that supply chain visibility and agility are improved through high-level, shared information quality and inter-organizational system quality of RFID. Inter-organizational trust is enhanced by high-level, interorganizational service quality and supply chain agility. Moreover, all strategic values of RFID (visibility, agility, and trust), when enhanced by RFID, have positive impacts on supply chain performance. This study expands the discussion scope of RFID to the implementation stage at the inter-firm level beyond the internal adoption level, improving the delay of RFID diffusion among transaction partners. Furthermore, the study describes strategic points that can be used to maximize the RFID value in supply chain networks.

“…In academic literature, the term supply chain visibility (also referred to as supply chain transparency) has been defined in various ways. For a comprehensive overview the reader may refer to Goh et al (2009). Within the scope of this paper, we adopt the broader definition by Barratt and Oke (2007) who define supply chain visibility as "the extent to which actors within the supply chain have access to or share timely information about supply chain operations, other actors and management which they consider as being key or useful to their operations".…”

Supply chains are increasingly global, complex and multi-tiered. Consequently, companies often struggle to maintain complete visibility of their supply network. This poses a problem as visibility of the network structure is required for tasks like effectively managing supply chain risk. In this paper, we discuss automated supply chain mapping as a means of maintaining structural visibility of a company's supply chain, and we use Deep Learning to automatically extract buyer-supplier relations from natural language text. Early results show that supply chain mapping solutions using Natural Language Processing and Deep Learning could enable companies to a) automatically generate rudimentary supply chain maps, b) verify existing supply chain maps, or c) augment existing maps with additional supplier information.
