eSCM: A web-based education platform for interactive supply chain management
Abstract
The need for a better knowledge of Supply Chain Management techniques and the possibility of collaborating more efficiently inside the Supply chain were the two main reasons that triggered off the eSCM European project. This paper presents the idea of a web-based platform for knowledge sharing and integrating competencies in the area of supply chain management (SCM). The platform can be used in two structured ways: to support traditionally taught university courses and to tailor courses to specific supply chain scenarios. It is accessible via an Internet-based portal, addressing students and teachers at university level as well as employees in the industrial sector. Apart from a general description of the main aims and features of the eSCM platform, some of the early applications are presented.
