01 PART ONE Concepts and Models We will introduce concepts and models of supply chain management on cloud computing platform

Supply Chain & SCM Supply Chain The network structure of upstream and downstream firms which are involved in the production and transformation process that aimed at providing products or service for customers. Supply Chain Management It controls and coordinates the material flow, information flow and capital flow among members in the supply chain. It tries its best to provide customers with excellent services with minimum cost by establishing strategic cooperative partnership.

Supply Chain Models Supplier Service Product Supplier Customer Capital Flow Commerce Flow Material Flow Manufacturer Supplier Capital Flow Commerce Flow Material Flow Distributor Influences the design of service Capital Flow Commerce Flow Material Flow Service Provider Retail Trader Personal characteristics Special requirements Capital Flow Commerce Flow Material Flow Customer Customer Product Supply Chain Service-oriented Supply Chain

Cloud Computing Cloud Computing A type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand.  It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources, which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.

02 System analysis PART TWO We will analyze the system structure of cloud supply chain system

Technical architecture Five-level layers structure of cloud supply chain platform Access layer——Resource location, data-mining, web browser, mobile terminal   Interface layer——Enterprise system, public API interface, technical interface Service layer——identity authentication, resource distribution, data storage and recovery, security monitoring Virtual layer——Virtual release, package of virtual resources Physical layer——RFID,GPS,GIS,IC card

Supply chain management with cloud computing Two most important things ——information sharing ——Interactive connector The working process ——Visit of users ——Cooperation and sharing ——Internal adjustments Service management layer Supply chain system on SAAS cloud platform: Purchase Plan of production Distribution Shared information Sales return   Users Access layer Enterprises users: Suppliers, Merchants, Clients

Information sharing of cloud Supply chain ESB Registration Security management Order tracking Sales Delivery Inventory Client network XML/SOAP XML/JMS XML/HTTP

Technical architecture   Traditional SCM Cloud based SCM Platform No platform for information sharing Cloud computing platform Data exchange EDI, independently developed connectors Access to all the participated system and software Data Gathering Bar code, hard to collect, time costly, existing risk of error. Interactive detector Data delivery High-speed internet transport

Data security key concerns As we have seen, cloud computing has the potential to create great value for supply chain organizations in every industry. However it can also produce new threats. The internal security threat The external security threat Safety awareness is weak Information fraud The integrity of data Improper access control Deny of service: DOS Network virus invasion Platform architecture threats

Secure Services Identify authentication Data encryption Authorized service A digital signature Confidentiality agreement Safety training Backup service

Security service classification Strengthen the security supervision Secure measure that taken into action Safety risk assessment Security service classification Strengthen the security supervision From platform architecture to business collaboration activities, the main threats are: security awareness, information fraud, data Integrity issues, threats to external attacks, and platform architecture threatened. Supply chain in cloud computing provide services are divided into three levels: general, cooperation and strategic layer. The higher level of access, the higher security services will be. To strengthen the safety supervision, two aspects of the regulatory work are needed: business regulation and technical supervision.
