Abstract

Supply chain management (SCM) aims to efficiently integrate suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, and retailers, not merely to ensure that merchandise is produced and distributed in the appropriate quantities, to the right locations, and at the right time, but also to minimize system wide costs while satisfying customer requirements. With global transnational enterprise layout trend, data consistency convergence study is a key of improving competitions and Bullwhip Effect problem in the GSCM. Besides, data consistency issues might induce different dependency relations in different extranet applications and partial dependency to several distributed original data source (ODS). In this paper, we consider the problem and solve it using a service routable consistency framework (Distributed Heterogeneous Web Service Routing based Portal; DHWSRP). The model based on a scalable routing service algorithm that dynamic reconfiguration forwarding data path within hierarchical enterprise region portals. By ripple propagate updating; SCM copies that existed in heterogeneity of enterprise database with specified ODS partially dependency relationships can be automatically updated. About efficient integrate SCM partner, we propose a Dynamic Information Exchange Center (DIEC) for creating a dynamic supply chain network in an Internet environment. Agent technology supports users in negotiating with upstream suppliers or downstream demanders and making decisions regarding partner selection. The framework allows enterprises to find more opportunities to cooperate with other partners. In business, such a framework not only reduces purchase costs and saves time for enterprises in reaching agreement but also eliminate Bullwhip Effect problem in GSCM.
