Abstract: This article reviews and summarizes a number of major information technology (IT) initiatives applicable to supply chain management and developed over the past 25 years. We begin by differentiating between logistics and supply chain management; and then discuss a process framework for managing supply chains, useful for organizing and categorizing IT initiatives. Within the framework, we discuss the various IT applications designed to support the planning and execution of work in each process. Finally, we make some comments on the future evolution of IT applications in supply chain management, fully recognizing that unanticipated technologies will almost certainly arise to offer new opportunities for more effectively managing supply chains.
