Abstract: Abstract The essence of supply chain management is integrated planning of activities across the firm's supply chain, including those of its suppliers and customers. Integrated planning refers to functional, geographical and inter-temporal coordination of managerial decisions. It requires and invokes modeling systems and processes that support data-driven or fact-based planning. A major challenge is to understand how to seamlessly imbed modeling systems in the firm's information technology. This paper examines five perspectives on these connections.
