"Vertically integrated firms are streamlining activities in their supply\r\nchain by using knowledge management systems (KMS). Effective KMS need\r\nsuitable combination of organisational and managerial initiatives and the use of\r\nsuitable information technologies. Malaysian oil palm plantations have been\r\nrecognised as leaders in technology development and adoption. KMS in the\r\nplantations started with the use of computerised inventory management\r\nsystems. Subsequently, the plantation companies applied KMS to integrate\r\nvarious functions, including sourcing raw materials, production and support\r\nactivities. This paper explores to what extent oil palm plantations have used\r\nKMS in managing their supply chain primary and support activities and how\r\neffective it is in increasing performance. Results of the study showed the\r\nplantation managers agreed that KMS have contributed significantly in\r\nimproving the plantations� performance. However, greater use of existing KMS\r\nand adopting a more advanced IT will further improve performance at all stages\r\nof the supply chain. (Abstract by authors)"^^ . "2011" . . "5" . "1" . .
