Mobile Device Considerations for Supply Chain and ERP Related Systems
Abstract.
The increased mobility of users and rapid enhancements to “hand held” technology suggest
leveraging mobile technology to enhance timely transaction handling and data collection, as well as
access robust tools for management decision making in supporting Supply Chain Management
(SCM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and other complimentary systems. Though technology
options are prevalent, applications must be developed for fit and viability on mobile devices which
do not deter them from needed system functionality. Not only must internal application
requirements address the mobility needs of its users, but interaction with external entities (e.g.
suppliers) must be considered, as well. This paper reviews the history of devices used for Supply
Chain Management and ERP applications through transition to mobile devices, as well as suggesting
considerations for mobility and reachability and other factors that influence the utilization of
newer technologies.
Keywords: Mobile Supply Chain, Mobile User Interface, Cloud Computing for Supply Chain.
