Explanation / Answer

1) The macro process in a supply chain is customer relationship management, internal supply chain management, and supplier relationship management. Customer relationship management focuses on relationship between the organization and the customers which include marketing, selling and order management. The creative sub processes of marketing and selling are less suited to IT enablement. The best suited are pricing and profitability calculation, sales force automation, and order configuration and tracking. Internal supply chain management processes focus on internal operations within the enterprise and include strategic planning, demand planning, supply planning, fulfillment, and field service... Huge gains in efficiency and responsiveness have been achieved via the application of IT to all aspects. Supplier relationship management focuses on the relation between an organization and its suppliers. It goes upstream. SAP Supplier Relationship Management supports the full e-procurement cycle: from source- and purchase-to-pay to spend and
supplier performance management. It can help you streamline operations, enforce compliance with contracts and purchasing policies, and improve overall spend management.

2) Supply Chain Management Software is used to automate and optimize the process of managing supply and demand, ordering and procurement, warehouse operations and distribution, and the logistical processes and networks of these enterprises, along with all the regulatory issues.BECUASE OF THE breadth, scale, and nature of SCM application ,the top software companies in this space are the ERP vendors: SAP and Oracle dominate the field

3) Real time information gives you the insight and details needed to operate quickly, accurately, and more effectively than ever before. It makes it possible to review supply chain effectiveness immediately—instead of at the end of a month or quarter. For example providing a company with transparent visibility into potential delays, trends, and slowdowns gives it the ability to make any necessary changes before they become catastrophic and affect both customer satisfaction and the bottom line. With real-time information incorporated into their supply chains, businesses will be able to recognize new ways to improve their practices and become as efficient as possible while better protecting against problems that could derail production and negatively impact customer expectations
