Abstract


In present-day manufacturing environment, there is an ardent need to have effective and smooth flow of information through all the departments of an organization. In this paper, a maiden venture is taken to design and develop a Supply Chain Management (SCM) module for streamlining all the procurement and inventory related activities of a manufacturing organization. With the help of the developed module, the order to delivery cycle time for the products can be reduced considerably while improving the customer responsiveness that is found to be the crucial success factor in today's competitive market. The developed module is successfully implemented in a simulated manufacturing environment to test its utility.
