摘要：Despite the recent innovations in information technology (IT), strategic decision-making at the enterprise level remains problematic. The success of supply chain management depends on the strategic decisions made at various stages of the supply chain, and especially at that part of the chain that affects the actual production. In view of this, the availability of information required to make optimal decisions becomes critical. With the advent of innovations in information technology (IT) and the increased use of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, the situation is vastly improved in many areas. However, there are some areas—such as making decisions on dropping/adding a product or business segment, replacing/keeping equipment or implementing alternate processes/type of technology automated systems—that are not that effective. In this paper we examine the information requirements for making these strategic decisions in the production environment.
