Supply Chain Collaboration
Supply Chain Collaboration is a scholarly work by Stephen M. Disney, published in 2005 in ''European Management Journal''. The main subjects of the publication include computer science, operations management, supply chain, fast-moving consumer goods, process management, collaboration, business, marketing, vendor, circular economy, analogy, industrial organization, vendor-managed inventory, implementation, scale, supply chain management, and product. Classes traditional chains as Type-O, information exchange as Type-1, VMI as Type-2 and synchronized supply as Type-3, comments on a stock ownership/location issue with Type-2 chains that renders them effectively Type-O, and employs a water-tank metaphor, and associated diagrams, to demonstrate operation of each type.
