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

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.
