What’s going on in Business? • Are companies still doing business in the same manner as they were 5-10 years ago? • What has happened to the traditional Supply Chain model that functioned in the early 20th century and through 1970’s, and 80’s?
Supply Chain Integration? • What is it? • How does it work? • Is there a difference between Business data and Technical data?
Since 2005 change has come at a very fast pace? • Integrated Systems (World-wide) • 2010 - National/International Supply chains will mostly integrate at the business system level. • 2015 – Procurement and Technical Data Transfer will be stable and secure across heterogeneous business systems. • This is called the “Value Chain”
