Impacts of E-commerce in apparel supply chain

Abstract

E-commerce not only deals online selling and buying but also plays a vital role on supply chain management. Apparel manufacturing organizations are suffering gigantic issues regarding receiving materials in a timely manner. Consequently, owners have to pay more on airing goods due to poor supply chain. The SCM is the spine of E-commerce, a very critical component of E-commerce. Supply chain efficiency means having the right product at the right place at the right time, can save money or reduce costs, and can enhance cash utilization. E-commerce plays a vital role on inventory management to keep the record electronically to avoid any information breach. In this paper, we have developed a database management system which would be centrally visualized by the partners of the apparel supply chain. Buyer can be able to place orders through this developed database system electronically which might save at least ordering cost.
