The document discusses standards for enabling supply chain collaboration, including papiNet and RosettaNet standards. It describes the goals of papiNet which include improving communication throughout the supply chain, increasing efficiencies, and supporting interoperability among trading partners. The benefits of standards are outlined as simplified processes for dealing with suppliers/customers, reduced manual work and errors, and more real-time information exchange.

3. papiNet Mission and Goals “ papiNet is the global initiative to develop, maintain and promote the implementation of standard electronic transaction standards to facilitate the flow of information and facilitate computer to computer communications among all parties engaged in the buying, selling, and distribution of forest, paper and wood products. The set of standards is referred to as the papiNet standard. The standards include common terminology and standard business documents (e.g. purchase orders, shipping notices, and invoices). The goals are to improve the reach and richness of communication throughout the supply chain, increase efficiencies in transactions and marketplace activities, and to support interoperability among trading partners. The papiNet standards are open and freely available.” Source: papiNet website

6. The RosettaNet Value Proposition “ A company's demand management, direct material procurement, logistics, part management and order fulfillment processes are closely linked to supply chain partners. Value is created by close integration of these processes among the company’s suppliers, logistics & service providers and customers. Collaborative processes that provide visibility to forecasts, inventory levels, order execution, and shipments between trading partners achieve this. The collaborative process is hampered by lack of industry-wide processes and data standards that enable system-to-system automation of core processes…..” “ In today’s competitive world, well-oiled and responsive extended supply chains are increasingly becoming a foundation for competitive advantage . No longer can companies restrict their focus on increasing supply chain efficiencies within the four walls of the enterprise. The supply chain that extends beyond a company’s organizational boundaries increasingly determines its effectiveness. There is an increasing dependence on "collaboration" as key to bridging the boundaries – not only within the enterprise, but also between enterprises and across industry boundaries.” “ Adoption of RosettaNet standards could well be a critical factor in bringing the high technology dream of dynamic value chain management to fruition .” Source: RosettaNet website, Implementing RosettaNet E- Business Standards for Greater Supply Chain Collaboration and Efficiency
