Abstract :
This paper addresses an issue on leaning supply chains via architecting open and flexible information-sharing platforms. Two basic ideas of this paper are: (1) such a platform should be developed based on information necessarily shared for companies to make right decisions from supply chain management perspective, and (2) such a platform should be open and flexible because the supply chains are open, time-variant, loosely organized. Hence, the paper proposes architecture of an information-sharing platform
