The Research Of Saas-Based Third-Pard Agile Electronid Supply Chain Management

There are about140,000,000SME in China, which play a unique role in the economy ofChina. Because of the large number and irregular management, the problem of informationmanagement in these SME is quite outstanding. In the face of the global competition, mostenterprises are hunger to improve operational efficiency and through the comprehensiveinformationalization. There is a real need of information model and ideas which are fit inChina, and there is also an urgent need of software and corresponding business model.SaaS（Software as a Service, SaaS）is a new kind of software and service delivery.Currently, most of the domestic enterprises are suffering from lack of capital. It just can besolved by such Web-based software. However, there are a lot of problems for SaaS softwareto be devoloped. In order to put out a new train of thought, this paper will focus on how tocombine the SaaS model and the demand of the SMEs.At the same time, since our country joined the WTO formally in2002, globalizationand competitiveness of the supply chain have been in reality. Enterprises need to face onmore global competition. And the internet has become a competitive tool for business. Ithas been a natural choice for the SaaS software to use the internet-based supply chaincoordination and the service-oriented architecture (SOA) technology.Based on the author’s practical explorations in the informationalization,"theSaaS-based third-party Agile-e-SCM" will be proposed in this thesis, which is acollaboration platform based on SaaS for the enterprise supply chain to share the internaland external information, improve the efficiency of the supply chain collaboration andreduce TCO of the supply chain. This model will really achieve on-demand enterprises toface the actual needs of SMEs.In the first and second chapters of this thesis initially, the problems and risks in thedevelopment of the SaaS are researched. And the third-party Agile-e-SCM is put forward asa new information mode fitting the need of domestic SMEs. Then the model and theory ofthe SaaS-based third-party Agile-e-SCM is established. The content, features, technologyand challenges are set out in detail.In the third chapter, a TCO model of SaaS-based third-party Agile-e-SCM iscontructed. And based the TCO model, a way of the optimization of TCO of supply chain isputs forward to expain the conflict between the cost and the market. Then a quantitative risk model is brough forward to measure SaaS risk in order to bring decision-makingmethods for SaaS model applications.In the fourth chapter, a realistic game model and game analysis methodology forAgile-e-SCM implementation are established by using group game theory. Based on thisgame analysis of enterprise supply chain, it is proved that Agile-e-SCM is a real trend forenterprise from the perspective of maximizing the enterprise benefits.In last chapter, three types of applications mode are designed. They are the publicplatform model, government-led model and main-chain model. As a typical model, thepublic platform model covers most risk of the SaaS model. Eabax Software Co. LTD hasachieved commercial success, which is a good case of the public platform modle. Thegovernment-led model can reduce the rish of SaaS on the basis of government credibilitythat is in the power of local government of China. For lowering the cost of risk, it istremendous value for the Main-chain model to use of Agile-e-SCM platform quickly byusing the dominant position of core enterprise. And the specific problems of these modelsneed to be further tested in commercial practice.The SaaS-based third-party Agile-e-SCM comes from the real needs ofinformationalization, which is a research up to date, to integrate business model andpractice. In order to succeed the mode, the advanced IT, the latest business managementconcept, the most potential business model and risk-taking business practice are needed.And there will be some new problems during the development. It will be a very valuableresearch field. The new technology and new issues from the academic point are put out inthis thesis. And they are analyzed and researched by cases. Theory contribution andpractical significance are made by this thesis for the development, promotion andapplication of the model.
