The paper must be approved by your lecturer and be related to what we are studying this semester in Enterprise Resource Planning. The paper can be from any academic conference or other relevant Journal or online sources such as Google Scholar, Academic department repositories, or a significant commercial company involved in research such as IBM etc. All students must select a different paper. Thus, the paper must be approved by your lecturer before proceeding. In case two students are wanting to present on the same paper, the first who emails the lecturer with their choice will be allocated that paper. Please note that popular magazine or web-site articles are not academic papers.

Introduction Supply chain has become an important focus of competitive advantage for organization business. The management of supply chain study emphasizes how to maximize the overall value of the firm by better using and deployment of resources across the whole of the firm. A supply chain is the set of values - adding activities connecting the enterprise’s suppliers and its customers. The princip le of supply chain activity is receiv ing input from firm’s suppliers – add value – deliver to customers (Levi at al (2004). A supply chain encompasses all the parties that involved, direct ly or indirectly, in fu lfilling a customer request. The supply chain includes manufacturer, suppliers, transporters, warehouses, retailers and even customers themselves. Within each organization, such as a manufacturer, the supply chain includes all function involved in receiving and filling a customer request. These functions includes new product development, market ing, operation, distribution, finance, customer service and other function that related to serving customer request (Chopra and Meindl, 2007). Effect ive supply chain management is important to build and sustain competit ive advantage in product and services of the firms. Gunasekaran and Ngai,(2004); Sufian (2010) stated that the performance of supply chain was influenced by managing and integrating key element of information into their supply chain. To achieve effect ive supply chain integration, the firms need to implement information technology (Handfield and Nichols,1999); Sufian (2010). Brandyberry et al. (1999) suggested that by using technology of information, the firms could managing the flow and impact of numerous supply chains dimension, such as quality, cost, flexibility, delivery, and profit. Byrd and Davidson (2003) found that informat ion technology impact the supply chain effectiveness. They stated that the development and long-term utilization of information technology lead to better firm performance in terms of return on investment (ROI, return on equity (R OI) and market share. Vickery et al. (2003) showed that supply chain coordination and integration is facilitated by using integrated informat ion technology, which directly impacts a financial performance of the firms. According to Sufian (2010)
