Abstract

Businesses in the information age have to perform in real-time. There is lack of resources but loads of expectations. Traditional models thus cannot withstand the competitive times. A Supply Chain entails raw materials, suppliers, manufacturing, distribution, customers and consumers. So if a business has a strong supply chain, it is bound to perform well. Information technology has enormous potential to trigger the developments in steadying the supply chain. Present communication is an attempt to identify the problems along the supply chain and describe IT tools that can help.
