摘要：The paper deals with integration of supply chains and specifically concentrates on the importance
of distribution of information among various companies in the chain. It summarizes the most important
concepts of supply chain management. Both technological changes and organizational
improvements are essential for effective integration of supply chains. Therefore the paper shows
how business process modelling can be used to analyze the existing processes and help in renovation
and integration of those processes, with a special emphasis on an inter-organizational level. It
is shown on a practical example, how sharing and strategic utilization of information in a supply
chain can radically improve execution of vital business processes and help integrate processes in
different companies. That leads to shorter cycle times, lower costs and inventory levels and better
quality for the final customer.
