Abstract

Over the past decade, many firms invested in their core information technology infrastructures including the business intelligence system. The infrastructure includes data warehousing, business intelligence software tools, pre-packaged analytical applications, and telecommunications and internet technologies. A noteworthy development in decision support systems, among others, is the emergence of inter-organizational DSS. The second generation of ERP systems consists of several modules to deal with supply chain planning activities. However, there are a large number of issues in supply chain management that cannot be adequately managed by ERP systems. This paper discusses those issues in supply chain management and introduces various decision support systems that has been proposed, or developed to augment the functionalities of the second generation of ERP planning systems.
