Document Summary
Chapter 9: enterprise applications to manage supply chains and respond to. Companies are becoming increasingly more connected both internally and with other companies. Enterprise software: is built around thousands of predefined business processes that reflect best practices. Companies implementing this software must first select the function of the systems they wished to use and then map their business processes to predefined business process in the software. Enterprise systems provide much valuable information for improving management decision-making. Corporate headquarters has access to up-to- the-minute data on sales, inventory, and production. If you mange a small firm that makes a few products or sells a few services, chances are you will have a small number of suppliers. But if you manage a firm that produces more complex products and services, then you will have hundreds of suppliers and your suppliers will have their own set of suppliers.
