This research addresses a number of challenges related to the full realization of the potential of supply chain infrastructures(SCIs), which include those software systems used to support enterprise requirements planning (ERP) and supply chain management (SCM). A software testbed, which initially will include an SCM component, an ERP component and a middleware component, will be constructed. The research will employ techniques from operations research, computer science and empirical information systems. Integer programming based resource allocation models will be developed and embedded within a simulation. The simulation will be used in conjunction with two empirical studies of organizational decision making to explore the relationships between SCIs and organization structure. Research on the development of mechanisms for effective query processing in web-like settings will be pursued with the goal of improving efficient SCI implementation in large organizations. ERP and SCM systems are achieving significant levels of deployment throughout the world. The research undertaken here is aimed at improving the efficiency ofthese systems and their effectiveness in enhancing organizational performance. Practical contributions are anticipated in the following areas: improvements in the understandingof how information technology impacts organizations and the how organizations should adapt to take advantage of new SCI technology; the development of decision models that both explain how supply chain decision making should take place in organizations and provide new techniques for supply chain decision support; new methods for efficiently implementing scalable web-based applications.

这项研究解决了与供应链基础设施（SCIS）的全面实现有关的许多挑战，包括那些用于支持企业需求计划（ERP）和供应链管理（SCM）的软件系统。 最初将构建一个软件测试台，最初将包括SCM组件，ERP组件和中间件组件。 该研究将采用运营研究，计算机科学和经验信息系统的技术。 基于整数编程的资源分配模型将被开发并嵌入模拟中。 该模拟将与两项有关组织决策的实证研究结合使用，以探索SCIS与组织结构之间的关系。 将进行有关在类似网络的设置中有效查询处理机制开发的研究，目的是改善大型组织中有效的SCI实施。 ERP和SCM系统正在全球实现大量的部署水平。 这里进行的研究旨在提高这些系统的效率及其在增强组织绩效方面的有效性。 预计在以下领域会做出实际贡献：了解信息技术如何影响组织以及组织应适应利用新的SCI技术的改进； 决策模型的开发都解释了如何在组织中进行供应链决策以及为供应链决策支持提供新技术；有效实现可扩展基于Web的应用程序的新方法。
