An abstract is required. And, it is mentioned that the company uses different types of applications, such as COBOL along with VSAM files. however, after 2002, the company replaced the existing system with the use of C++, windows terminal services, and DB2 (Satzinger et al., 2009). Despite migrating to the latest application, the company has failed to provide strong integration among those functions (Satzinger et al., 2009).

In order to implement CSM, the company is required to include geographical, organizational and information system features in the system so as to obtain the strategic objectives related to this application. In this regard, it is important to highlight that SCM is not only restricted to the application of new or improved database instead it requires the integration and inclusive use of four different tasks which are an inbuilt part of the business structure of the company: product development, inventory management, product acquisition, and manufacturing management. As a result, the company is required to include various business information units and other aspects for effectively implementing the CSM model.

Integration among all constituent parts of CSM will be the main objective for implementing CSM. It has been mentioned that currently, the firm has migrated to the new applications. However, this migration has not provided solid and enough support for integrating the four different business aspects of CSM. For example, through integrating four key elements of CSM, the firm will be in a better position to understand the expected and current level of demand of their product and goods in transit and goods sold and type of demand, and all those other aspects of the product, which provide information about the current level of inventory in the warehouse. these are certain aspects which are highly essential for increasing competitiveness and effectively competing for the national and international market.
