Despite the ongoing calls for the incorporation of the cloud utility model, the effect of the cloud on elements of supply chain performance is still an evolving area of research. The purpose of this paper is to develop the architecture of a cloud-based supply chain management (C-SCM) ecosystem and explore how it enhances supply chain responsiveness (SCR).,First, the authors discuss the potential benefits that cloud computing can yield, compared to existing mature SCM information systems and solutions through a comprehensive literature review. The authors conceptualise SCR in terms of the level of visibility in the supply chain, supply chain flexibility and rapid detection and reaction to changes, and then the authors build the detailed architecture of a C-SCM system. The proposed ecosystem introduces a view of SCM and the associated practices when transferred to cloud environments. The potential to enhance SCR through the cloud is explored with scenarios on a case of supply chain operations in fashion retail industry.,The findings show that the proposed system can enhance all three dimensions of SCR. Implications for supply chain practice and how companies can migrate to a cloud supply chain are drawn.,Given that the development, creation and delivery of goods and services are increasingly becoming a joint effort of several parties in a supply chain, the authors contribute to the existing literature by introducing a comprehensive C-SCM system and show how companies can enhance their SCR.

基于云的供应链管理系统：对供应链响应能力的影响

尽管不断要求整合云实用程序模型，但云对供应链绩效要素的影响仍是一个不断发展的研究领域。本文的目的是开发基于云的供应链管理（C-SCM）生态系统的体系结构，并探讨其如何增强供应链响应能力（SCR）。首先，作者讨论了云计算可以产生的潜在利益。通过全面的文献综述与现有的成熟SCM信息系统和解决方案进行比较。作者根据供应链中的可见性级别，供应链灵活性以及对变化的快速检测和反应来概念化SCR，然后作者构建了C-SCM系统的详细架构。当转移到云环境时，提出的生态系统引入了SCM和相关实践的观点。结合时尚零售业供应链运作的案例，探讨了通过云增强SCR的潜力。研究结果表明，所提出的系统可以增强SCR的所有三个方面。考虑到供应链实践的含义以及公司如何迁移到云供应链。鉴于商品和服务的开发，创建和交付正日益成为供应链中多个方面的共同努力，因此，作者为供应链实践做出了贡献。通过引入全面的C-SCM系统的现有文献，并展示公司如何增强其SCR。结合时尚零售业供应链运作的案例，探讨了通过云增强SCR的潜力。研究结果表明，所提出的系统可以增强SCR的所有三个方面。考虑到供应链实践的含义以及公司如何迁移到云供应链。鉴于商品和服务的开发，创建和交付正日益成为供应链中多个方面的共同努力，因此，作者对此做出了贡献。通过引入全面的C-SCM系统的现有文献，并展示公司如何增强其SCR。结合时尚零售业供应链运作的案例，探讨了通过云增强SCR的潜力。研究结果表明，所提出的系统可以增强SCR的所有三个方面。考虑到供应链实践的含义以及公司如何迁移到云供应链。鉴于商品和服务的开发，创建和交付正日益成为供应链中多个方面的共同努力，因此，作者对此做出了贡献。通过引入全面的C-SCM系统的现有文献，并展示公司如何增强其SCR。
