CLOUD COMPUTING BASED SUPPLY CHAIN ABSTRACT Cloud computing can give the ability of flexibly outsourcing software for supply chain management collaboration and its infrastructure. This advance is affecting the daily lives of consumers similarly to other technical breakthroughs such as the printing press, engines and personal computing. Further forward in space of the usual technology publicity, the worth of cloud computing is that it can be a right technology for supporting and managing a constantly changing and dynamic network and thus its best suitable for supply chain management. Supply chain management react on divergent and consolidated information flows, operational processes and interaction processes with a various number of …show more content…
Computing in the cloud makes it possible to closely pursue a product location and situation throughout its lifecycle. Cloud-based supply management can also remarkably cut down on lost product as it can locate a shipment during any stage of transit and it enables you to make quick decisions and communicate effectively if you have to reroute a misdirected shipment into a correct direction. Traditional supply chain management systems are much more transactional, and can’t offer the real-time accuracy. Benefits of Cloud Based Management 1. Scalability 2. Immediacy 3. Efficiency & Accessibility 4. Onboarding and 5. Flexibility LITERATURE REVIEW Adoption of cloud computing technologies in supply chains: An organizational information processing theory approach, Casey G. Cegielski, L. Allison Jones‐Farmer, Yun Wu, Benjamin T. Hazen In this paper, they examine the extent to which task unpredictability, environmental uncertainty, and inter‐organizational fickleness affect intention to adopt cloud computing technology and how information processing capability may abate these relationships. The quantitative analysis recommends that significant dual interactions exist between each independent and moderating variable. Each of these interactions is mainly related to intention to adopt cloud computing. The qualitative results bear the assertion that information processing
Majority of organizations migrate to cloud because it is very easy to deploy, cost efficient and readily available throughout an entity. It may result in cloud environments being applied with low involvement or minimal control by entity's IT department and thus may
A 16 year old male named Harrington became the first ever black Drummer Boy. He was the best in his practice academy and was destined to the prestigious position. Although, due to his African American heritage, it took him and his supporters a lot of protesting to get him their.
In the following rhetorical analysis, I will analyze “Cloud Computing for Increased Business Value” by Abdulaziz Alijabre. Alijabre received his Doctorate degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Bridgeford and is currently a CEO of System security solution company. Alijabre has written numerous articles and “Cloud Computing for Increased Business Value” was written in January 2012. This article gives a perception of how using cloud computing can be beneficial and yet create obstacles in business. The author examines specific types of businesses that will benefit from
The focus of cloud computing is providing with scalable and a cheap on-demand computing infrastructure with a good quality of service levels. The process of the cloud computing involves a set of network enabled services that can be accessed in a simple and general way. Cloud computing provides with a unique value proposition for any organization to outsource their information and communication technology infrastructure. Moreover, the concept itself provides with a value proposition for an organization as using the cloud saves on cost, resources, and staff, and business opportunities for the organization (Katzan). An extensive connectivity of
In statement, Alijabre writes “Cloud Computing can help business shift their focus to developing god business applications that will bring true business value.” To prove his point Alijabre, uses statistical data gathered from one of big leading providers in Cloud Services. “Although cloud computing has been recognized as a way to improve business, not all businesses are the same. So, is cloud computing for all businesses or is it more beneficial for a certain type of business with certain infrastructure already in place?” To make his argument, Alijabre uses Amazon Cloud Service to give us a better idea the use of cloud computing in business, and what can they do to improve it. Amazon has been one of the best providers of cloud services to individuals or to small businesses. “Also, it has more than 79 million active customer accounts around the world, along with around one and a half million active seller accounts.” Undoubtedly, Amazon is the leading source in providing cloud services. Amazon makes it easier for the consumers to access their data online, only thing needed

A supply chain is a series of integrated processes within and across a company that produce a product or service to meet the demands of a consumer (Krajewski, et. al., 2013).

Supply chain management (SCM) is the efficient management of the flows of material, data, and money in the supply chain. SCM software concentrates on improving decision making, forecasting, optimization, and analysis. The benefits of SCM have long been recognized in business, government, and the military.

In the medieval age there are norms that people in a society are supposed to abide by. In this time, there was a lot of wars dividing the nations and changed how people lived.
