Abstract :
Currently the competition is between supply chains rather than between companies. The demands of customers in a market increasingly volatile and turbulent, in conjunction with environmental responsibilities, make supply chains develop strategies to be more flexible, agile, which eliminate processes that add no value and respond to environmental issues, making the supply chains more competitive. This paper presents and discusses an information model to support current integrated paradigms of supply chain management - lean, agile, resilient and green. The information model will provide all the necessary information for decision-makers take the right decisions at the right time and thus optimizing the supply chain performance integrating lean, agile, resilient and green demands.
