Abstract

Information and communication technology is an important enabler of effective supply chain management (SCM). Emerging new technologies have created new possibilities for developing SCM systems and e-business solutions. Recently, the software agent technology has been studied for supporting effective information management in business networks. This paper introduces a business network, where shared information of the network improves lead-time, cost efficiency and faculty for customer service. The research is conducted as a case study in a steel product industry network in Finland and it is based on qualitative material and analysed as an entity. Supporting technical research is based on agent-based prototype for mutual software system for industry network.
