E-Supply Chain Management Model for Garment & Textile Industry with Limitation of Technological Capabilities

Abstract

Electronic Supply Chain Management (E-SCM) can be implemented by collaborating several electronic concepts for business process such as E-Transportation, E-Distribution, E-Fulfilment, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Warehouse Management System (WMS). These concepts require high technology, expensive implementation, high skill and cost in development. Garment and textile are the most numerous industries in Indonesia, especially in West Java, E-SCM can increased efficiency and effectively for textile or garment companies, but E-SCM development requires high costs and high technology. These are problems when many garment and textile companies in Indonesia have limited capabilities of technology. In this research we design new E-SCM model with Value Chain Analysis approach and used Software Architectural Design to make the model. We divided E-SCM system for garment and textile industry in multiple layers and then we collaborate with two existing E-SCM frameworks, namely E-Supply Chain Management Process and Technology Integration Framework and E-SCM Multi-Agent System Framework. We combine layers components with the relevant layers of the existing E-SCM frameworks. The result is a new E-SCM model for garment and textile industry that can accommodate limitations of technological capabilities.

Research on the Influence of Digital Transformation on the Sustainable Development of China's Textile and Apparel Listed Enterprises

“…( 2021 2019) demonstrated the important contribution of high-skilled electronic technology in the apparel value chain by studying the role of an electronic supply chain management model in the Indonesian apparel industry. [4] In addition, some scholars conduct investigation and analysis from a specific research object. For example, Bao Songyuan and Li Genqin (2021) took Y Group as an example, and by studying its development path in digital transformation, they proposed to build a digital platform and improve digitalization.…”
