Building Viable Digital Business Ecosystems with Collaborative Supply Chain Platform SupplyOn

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Supply Network Dynamics and Control

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Supply Chain Management ((SSSCM,volume 20))

Abstract

Digital supply chains evolve toward business ecosystems that are becoming ever more complex and in which companies and supply chains collaborate in an increasingly networked manner. The viability consideration at the level of ecosystems can be supported by associated digital collaborative supply chain platforms. The COVID-19 pandemic times have clearly shown that the viability and ecosystem views are crucial when coping with and recovering from large-scale, massive crises. This chapter focuses on the current challenges of digital supply chains in the manufacturing industry and how they can be addressed. To this end, a concrete use case is highlighted at the Chinese premium car manufacturer Seres, where the Supplier Collaboration Portal SupplyOn with its integrated solutions has made a significant contribution to building ecosystem viability.
