ABSTRACT
Supply chain is an inter-enterprise process that connects upstream and downstream companies closely. In order to accelerate the information flow in supply chain, therefore, we need an inter-enterprise and integrated information sharing method. The information sharing among enterprises can be transparency. Upstream and downstream companies access virtual data warehouse. That makes enterprise can achieve customer quick response by supply chain management. This study mainly proposed a reference model to adopt fast information flow mechanism and transfer information from customer demand to the manufacturing facilities. Besides, this study reviewed some key points for supporting business process collaborations when organizations implemented the work flow management system. Finally, we proposed our major findings and future directions
