Partners:

ESEC SA

Financed by:

ESEC SA

Motivation:

The ESEC SA has to align their existing logistics concept to today’s constantly changing market conditions and, at the same time, to the rapid change of innovations. In logistics and production networks, a competition-crucial factor is the integration of the partners. The increasing enterprise-spreading networking results in higher requirements for co-operation and co-ordination between the individual partners.

The objectives of the project are:

• Development of an "ideal" Supply Chain Management concept for the semiconductor industry
• Derivation of a generic model for differents types of buyer-supplier relationships with considerations of material orders, information flow and resources based on the developed "ideal" concept

The following activities are in progress:

• Analysis of the organizational structure and information exchange in a Supply Chain Network
• Development of an "ideal" Supply Chain Management concept for the semiconductor industry
