Gartner delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
An imaging application and language written in XML, supported by key electronic publishing vendors. The SVG interface offers a solution to the problem of sharing many sophisticated, Web-based images. Vector graphics are more compact than bitmapped images and can potentially be altered by client devices to best suit display parameters.

In asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), the average cell rate a source is allowed to maintain.
Industry:Technology
Sustainability management is a management discipline embracing corporate strategies, operational capabilities, competencies, behaviors and cultures. It focuses on products, services, the enterprise and the supply chain, and it seeks to optimally balance organizational performance and outcomes across economic, environment and social criteria over all time scales.
Industry:Technology
Surface computers are large-screen displays that support direct interaction via touch or gesture. They may be horizontal (built into furniture such as a tabletop), or vertical (wall-mounted or free-standing). They incorporate the elements of multitouch interactions found in handheld devices but often recognize multiple users, allowing collaborative use. Size is constrained by the ability to physically reach across the surface. Larger displays usually support a gestural interface, where the user does not need to physically touch the surface.
Industry:Technology
Designing and operating distinctly different end-to-end value chains (from customers to suppliers) optimized by a combination of unique customer value, product attribute, manufacturing and supply capabilities, and business value considerations. In essence, supply chain segmentation is the dynamic alignment of customer channel demands and supply response capabilities optimized for net profitability across each segment.
Industry:Technology
Supply chain planning (SCP) is the forward-looking process of coordinating assets to optimize the delivery of goods, services and information from supplier to customer, balancing supply and demand. An SCP suite sits on top of a transactional system to provide planning, what-if scenario analysis capabilities and real-time demand commitments, considering constraints. Typical modules include:
Available/capable to promise
Sales and operations planning/integrated business planning
Collaborative planning (including forecasting and replenishment)
Vendor-managed inventory/direct point of sale
Event planning (promotion, life cycle)
Demand planning
Inventory planning
Production/factory planning and scheduling
Distribution planning (unconstrained, distribution requirements planning (DRP) and deployment)
Strategic network design
Inventory strategy optimization (simultaneous, multitiered)
Supply planning (optimized, DRP and deployment)
Production/multiplant capacity planning (master production scheduling, rough-cut capacity planning)
Industry:Technology
Supply chain management (SCM) refers to the processes of creating and fulfilling demands for goods and services. It encompasses a trading partner community engaged in the common goal of satisfying end customers.
Industry:Technology
Applications that allow enterprises to monitor and manage events across the supply chain to plan their activities more effectively and pre-empt problems. SCIV systems enable enterprises not only to track and trace inventory globally on a line-item level, but also submit plans and receive alerts when events deviate from expectations. This visibility into orders and shipments on a real-time basis gives enterprises reliable advance knowledge of when goods will arrive.
Industry:Technology
Supply chain execution (SCE) is focused on execution-oriented applications, including warehouse management systems (WMSs), transportation management systems (TMSs), global trade management (GTM) systems and other execution applications, such as real-time decision support systems (for example, dynamic routing and dynamic sourcing systems) and supply chain visibility systems within the enterprise, as well as throughout the extended supply chain. Sometimes, order management systems are also included in SCE, but, generally, Gartner does not include order management in its definition of SCE. Typical modules and applications include:
WMSs:
Labor management systems
Yard/dock management
Returns management
Inventory control
TMSs:
Domestic transportation management software
Global multimodal transportation management (managing transportation around multimodal processes)
GTM systems:
Trade compliance
International/global logistics
Global order management
Global trade financial management
Industry:Technology
A system used in manufacturing for acquiring measurements of process variables and machine states, and for performing regulatory or machine control across a process area or work cell.
