In terms of transforming supply chain into integrated value systems, the benefits of Early Supplier Involvement (ESI) in product development have been widely accepted. As far as variety management and online configuration are concerned, the difficulties of ESI in online mass customization manifest themselves through two main aspects: (1) Support the seamless information integration with respect to its high variety and large volume not only among internal functions but also with external suppliers; (2) Support real-time online configuration for product configuration generation and optimization based on customer requirements and supplier capabilities. Accordingly, this work proposes two potential solutions. PFA-based integrated information model is established to synchronize the PFA generic structure and supplier product information.

On healthcare industries, supply chain activity that related with pharmaceutical product (drugs and medical consumables) was very important to ensure high standard treatment for patient and provide sufficient pharmaceutical product supply to drugstore. The purpose of this reseacrh was to depict mapping proces of internal inquiry and distribution for pharmaceutical product evolving between Dinas Kesehatan Kota Surabaya Unit Farmasi, Gudang Farmasi Kesehatan (GFK), and Puskesmas along with the issues then formulate a proposal for process flow reduce the issues.The research method based on cross sectional case study scheme exert descriptive analysis then utilized with analytical method either quantitative or qualitative. All data have collected then analyzed base on mapping process concept Data Flow Diagram (DFD) as a suitable supply chain mapping process for pharmaceutical product.Research result shown there were 4 (four) issues on pharmaceutical product supply chain process, they were:(1) pharmaceutical product stock availability in Gudang Farmasi Kesehatan (GFK), (2) pharmaceutical product supply ability from Gudang Farmasi Kesehatan (GFK), (3) the accuracy of pharmaceutical product planning from Puskesmas, and (4) pharmaceutical product deficit at Puskesmas.Pharmaceutical product supply chain process in healthcare service at Surabaya city need remodelling and improving. Data and information integration then exchange between Dinas Kesehatan Kota Surabaya Unit Farmasi, Gudang Farmasi Kesehatan (GFK), dan Puskesmas is main key and focus to reduce or minimalize current issues on pharmaceutical product supply chain process.

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the relationship between information integration, supply chain capabilities and credit quality of small and middle enterprises (SMEs) in supply chain finance (SCF).Design/methodology/approachGrounded in the resource-based view (RBV) and signaling theory, this study proposes a theoretical model. Then, structural equation modeling and interview analysis are employed to test the theoretical model.FindingsThe results show that both two aspects of information integration, namely, information technology and information sharing, have positive effects on the SMEs’ credit quality in SCF, and these effects are mediated by supply chain capabilities.Originality/valueFirst, the paper contributes to SCF literature by simultaneously examining the role of two dimensions of information integration (information technology and information sharing) in enhancing SMEs’ credit quality. Second, this paper enriches the existing theoretical research on SCF by integrating the SMEs perspective and SCF service provider perspective. Moreover, this paper explores the indirect effects of information integration on SMEs’ credit quality by incorporating supply chain capabilities as a mediating factor.
