Reading material(A) IOIS in Support of Manufacturing Networking Networking among small manufacturing firms is a growing phenomenon. New initiatives will be enabled as small manufacturers begin to build IS infrastructures, driven by decreasing costs, increased customer pressure for EDI capabilities, growing interest in and easier access to external databases, and competitive requirements for rapid response. While information systems are expected to become a major factor in supporting manufacturing networking, they will not be sufficient to establish and manage these networks. A new type of intermediary - the “trust” intermediary will assure reliance on and maintain confidence in this type of relationship. IS support will help these networks quickly respond to opportunities in a highly competitive global environment. Using some exploratory case studies, this paper illustrates several models to develop trust and IS support for different forms of collaboration among small manufacturing firms.

Continuous Replenishment has been defined as the “practice of partnering between distribution channel members that changes the traditional replenishment process from distributor-generated purchase orders, based on economic order quantities, to the replenishment of products based on actual and forecasted product demand.” CRP is “the program that triggers the manufacturing and movement of a product through the supply chain when the identical product is purchased by an end user.” What is CRP? The basis for the CRP system is the co-operation between supplier and retailer and it enables optimization of the business chain. The purpose of such a system is to help in reduction of costs and enable an efficient customer response system and thereby add value for consumers What is CRP? “CRP is based on the principle of “pulled“ logistics, where the replenishment of a store takes place on the basis of information about sales and the resultant prognoses. The system
