ABSTRACT
The automation of the commercial transactions among the customers and suppliers involved in a supply chain allows its efficient and effective management. Such automation is based on the utilization of Electronic Data Interchange protocols and this paper reports the results of an empirical and exploratory research on the use of the protocol known as Specification 2000M (S2000M) in the Information Systems (IS) supporting supply chains for military aircraft. The research is based on questionnaires from 62 persons in 9 European nations working in areas related with the subject under study. This document proposes a model to implement supply chains based on the S2000M-based, and identifies the benefits delivered by the S2000M, the level of success of the S2000M-based IS, the benfits that impact the most such success and some measures to gauge the performance of the S2000M systems.
