Design on Enterprise Knowledge Supply Chain Based on Cloud Computing

This paper first discusses the narrow and broad sense of the Knowledge Supply Chain (KSC) proposed by Chinese scholars, and based on this, advances the definition of the Enterprise Knowledge Supply Chain (EKSC). Then, the three problems needed to be solved in constructing the EKSC are put forward which include the ignorance of the peripheral branches of the Enterprise Knowledge Supply Chain (PBEKS), the identification and segmentation of knowledge users of the EKSC, and the high-level requirements of timely response of the EKSC. Meanwhile, the methods and thoughts of Cloud Computing are adopted to solve those problems and the effects which are favorable to the EKSC brought by the Cloud Computing are proposed. Those effects include encouraging enterprises to attach importance to the PBEKS, providing distributed storage and distributed computing capabilities, and substantial improvements in the communication and teamwork of the EKSC. By means of analogy, the design principles and design thoughts are put forward from analyzing the principles and operation mechanisms of the branching and convergence of the human body blood circulation system. According to the design principles and design thoughts, the overall structure design of the Cloud-computing-based EKSC and the detailed design of the resource structure of the Cloud-computing-based PBEKS are given.
