Abstract: |
This paper reports on an
oil/retail petrol supply chain which was undergoing
a Business Process Re- engineering (BPR) exercise. The paper models and
analyses the effect of information sharing on the performance parameters
(inventory costs and bullwhip effect) of an actual Serbian oil industry
supply chain. The main idea is to show through business process modelling how the BPR of existing processes needs to
follow the introduction of the EDI system into organisations
to improve information sharing between the supply chain echelons. Also, a
simulation is employed to show how different levels of information sharing
impact on inventory costs and the bullwhip effect. The model itself was has
developed for a two- level supply chain structure, and it and its associated
simulations highlight the significant benefits that are achievable through
the use of improved information sharing and business process re-engineering
on the observed supply chain performance parameters. |
