Abstract :
Supply Chain Management (SCM) is crucial to be present in global markets as nowadays competition is between supply chains rather than companies. Current SCM paradigms like Lean, Agile, Resilient, and Green (LARG) are usually presented as individual management philosophies. The current challenge is to make the supply chain more competitive, capable of responding to the demands of customers in a market increasingly volatile and turbulent with agility, in conjugation with environmental responsabilities, and the necessity to eliminate processes that add no value. This paper present and discusses an information model for a SCM platform to support current integrated LARG paradigms.
