Description
Summary:The improvement of organizational processes, as well as their homogeneity, is the new essence of the theory of organization. Manifestation of the concept of Extended Enterprise (EE) which convinces the organization to find homogeneous solutions has been realized for this reason. Different methods have contributed to the development of this concept and during the recent years the method of Supply Chain Management (SCM) has taken the most impressive steps. This method needs to be developed and modified because of its limitations and weak points. One of the ways to improve this method is through the integration of this method with other methods. Regarding the needs of this method, one of the impressive ways of integration is the Theory of Constraints (TOC). So the main research questions of this study are as follows: <br /> <br />How can we integrate the method of supply chain management with the theory of constraints and what are the integration cases? <br />Does the integrative method of SCM and TOC meet the needs of Extended Enterprise method and help its new construction? <br /> <br />Thus the present study attempts to extend the concept of Extended Enterprise, Supply Chain Management, and Theory of Constraints, and tries to present a new method by integrating these methods and proposes a new construction model for Extended Enterprise. The research hypotheses are as follows: <br /><strong>A</strong>: Method of Supply Chain Management and Theory of Constraints can be integrated by means of their basic elements and key diminutions. <br />B: Integrative method of SCM and TOC leads to a new construction of Extended Enterprise and can meet the essential needs of this method.
