Article Citation - WoS: 2A Generic, Multi-Period and Multi-Partner Cost Optimizing Model for Cloud-Based Supply Chain(Igi Global, 2016) Akyuz, Goknur Arzu; Rehan, MohammadCloud technology in a multi-enterprise, collaborative context is one of the most promising topics at IT-Supply Chain (SC) intersection. Cloud comes with well-proven advantages and cost savings; enabling collaboration and business intelligence. Cloud transition is still on-going with individual enterprise-level transitions. However, collaborative paradigm dictates that entire network well-being is to be considered over enterprise-level concerns. Thus, handling the transition of a single enterprise is not sufficient for strategic network leverage. Planning and managing across multiple enterprises is required, taking into consideration various cost items and budget constraints. In this study, a multi-period multi-partner cost-optimizing model is developed for network-level management of cloud transition for a SC. The model produces an optimal transition plan, indicating timing of the transition for each partner to obtain the maximum cost savings across network over a specified planning horizon. The model proposed is generic, flexible and customizable for different sectors/settings.Article Citation - Scopus: 4An Empirical Study on the Factors Influencing the Implementation of Blockchain-Based Supply Chain Traceability System(Success Culture Press, 2023) Ahmed,A.M.; Sayar,A.R.Z.Traceability in the supply chain has become more of a priority in recent years. It is important to implement a traceability system that is able to offer accurate information in order to make products, such as food and other goods, safer for consumers. However, there are a number of elements that influence the adoption of traceability systems, and these factors vary in accordance with the economic scale of both companies and the nations in which they are located. This research aims to gain a better understanding of the factors that influence the implementation of a blockchain-based supply chain traceability system in Somalia. A mixed-mode technique has been utilized to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Structured data from all the major stakeholders has been collected, analyzed, and interpreted. Though Somalia's SMEs are optimistic that a decentralized, low-cost supply chain traceability system can be established, the study's results confirmed that there are no standards or laws governing the supply chain's traceability practices in the country. The findings of this study present scientific data on the factors influencing the implementation of a blockchain-based supply chain traceability system, which are especially important to legislators in their quest of creating laws and regulations that protect consumers, practitioners to understand how to manage the traceability function in a cost-effective manner by employing cutting-edge technology, and academicians to find this study to be of practical use, given there has been very little research done on the topic in the context of Africa and Somalia. © 2023, Success Culture Press.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems can help enterprises to reduce operating costs, generate more accurate forecasts of demand, accelerate production cycles and enhance customer service. This paper reports challenges, opportunities and outcome of ERP implementation in a top Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) house in South-East Asia with diversified interests in varied businesses. This study will facilitate the understanding of the transition, constraints and implementation of ERP in this sector and also provide guidelines from lessons learned in this regard to researchers and practising managers.Conference Object Basic Issues in Forming a World-Class Supply Chain(Association for Computing Machinery, 2015) Akyuz,G.A.; Rehan,M.Supply chain management (SCM) practices in today's global, complex, networked and web-enabled business conditions demand world-class performance from all chain partners. This study addresses the basic issues in becoming a world-class supply chain. The main aspects involving people, process and technology dimensions are put forward and comprehensively discussed. It is revealed that along with the IT-based integrity issues and performance management aspects, managing the soft concepts such as 'leadership in an extended context' and 'trust-based relationships' appear as the keys for success. © 2015 ACM.
