Technology in SC
The internet can be very effective communication

enhancer. Software includes demand forecasting tools and planning tools to allow all supply chain members to coordinate their activities and adjust their production level. Software can allow members to: -Review past performance -Monitor current performance -Predict future production levels of productions.
