Authors: Felix Bockholt, Wolfgang Raabe, Dr. Michael Toth
Abstract
Global market changes and new business strategies have changed logistic processes. Today complex supply chains contain numerous manufacturing levels with long transportation distances. Effective planning and control have to follow various objectives like cost re- duction, flexibility and ecological target values. Several supply chain management (SCM) concepts have been developed to support these challenging collaborative planning processes. For a successful implementation they all require software support. As will be shown in this paper existing solutions cannot offer a sufficient collaborative focus on supply networks and at the same time features for supply chain planning. This paper in- troduces logistic assistance systems (LAS) for decision support in collaborative supply chain planning and con- trol. Designed as lean software systems, LAS focus on specific process parts and integrate selected methods for data management, information processing and supply chain planning. First achievements with LAS at Volks- wagen AG are now followed by two new promising projects.
