In recent years, academic and industry areas are both show an interest in supply chain management (SCM). The globalization of competition, the reduce in product life cycle, time depending competition and quick exchanges make the firms think about re-designing their supply chains. With the view of these evolutions, firms decided that they must use information technologies in their SCM. In future, information flow will be the key factor to determine the levels and the difference between firms. Information flow occurs with the integration of information technologies with the systems. The success factor for a firm is to add value from gathering, operating and dispatching information and develop the work model to have this value. Processing this model depends on achieving information sharing between supply chain members. Information sharing is a critical factor between supply chain members. The data shared between supply chain members becomes useful information for the members. So, determining the shared data and measuring this share is an important issue. This study includes information sharing measurement model between integrated supply chain members. The model starts with gathering data with a survey and continues converting these quantitative data’s to qualitative data’s by structured equations. The qualitative data’s used in an artificial intelligence method, inductive learning. Rules extraction is made by an inductive learning method, RULESX. With these rules, information sharing among supply chain members can be measured and suggestions can be made to firms for improving their SCM’s. This model is sector-independent and can be easily applied.

Although the literature frequently examines achieving an integrated supply chain and participating in information sharing with supply chain partners, there is little guidance given to firms on how to progress to a state where these goals can become reality. This paper examines the struggles of one firm in moving toward information sharing with its suppliers and its hopes of achieving an integrated supply chain. This paper reveals lessons learned from the difficulties the firm encountered during the integration process. Despite putting an information system in place, the company discovered that people issues matter as much, if not more, than technology issues.

Multiple interrelated decision-making models are frequently used in supply chain modeling. Model integration is a precondition for efficient development and utilization of these models. This paper discusses use of modern information technology (IT) techniques and methods for integration of supply chain decision-making models. The overall approach to using IT at various stages of model development is presented. Data and process modeling techniques are used to developed semi-formalized representation of integrated models. These models support integration of decision-making components with other parts of supply chain information system. Process modeling is also used to describe interrelationships among multiple decision-making models. This representation is used as the basis for implementation of integrated models. The service-oriented architecture is proposed as an implementation platform. The presented discussion serves as the basis for further developments in developing integrated supply chain decision-making models.
