Swapnil Agarwal, R. S. Jadoun

Abstract


The purpose of the work is to study the importance of Information Technology (IT) in Supply Chain Management (SCM). This include the applications of Information Technology (IT) to get the high firm performance comprising marketing performance, financial performance, and customer satisfaction. The information and communication technologies take’s place as one of the largest consents of the present supply chain management (SCM). The use of information technology (IT) is consider the effective control of today’s supply chain. This review zooming on one of the important use of information technologies in SCM overview, this tells us about Materials Requirement Planning (MRP), manufacturing resource planning (MRP-II), Enterprise resources planning (ERP), SCM-software, Electronic data Interchange, Bar Coding and Scanner, Radio Frequency-Identification technology (RFID) Supply Chain Execution software, Wide Area network (WAN) Technologies, Metropolitan Area network (MAN) Technologies, Local Area network (LAN) Technologies Internet, distribution requirement planning (DRP), distribution resource planning (DRP-II) and Intranet services etc. Understanding the role and application of IT in managing Supply Chain is the basic theme of this paper.
