1. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "A framework for collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (cpfr): state of the art" ?
This paper attempts first to seek answers to this question.. The method underlying this paper followed the steps of a systematic literature review process outlined by Soni and Kodali ( 2011 ).. The paper also illustrates a number of shortcomings in the current literature and provides suggestions to guide future research on implementing CPFR in different industries.. This paper is of interest to both academicians and practitioners as it helps to better understand the concept and role of CPFR in supply chain integration and its implementation results, enablers and inhibitors.. The proposed framework in this paper can be used to give insight for future research and practice.. The paper offers a framework for the review of previous research on CPFR and identifies the most important shortcomings that need to be addressed in future research.. In addition, this review is both greater in scope than previous reviews and is broader in its subject focus.

2. What have the authors stated for future works in "A framework for collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (cpfr): state of the art" ?
There are few examples reported of multi-tier implementation efforts, however its value lies in its collaborative ability thus opening opportunities for extending future research of CPFR in a multi-tier environment.. Developing a framework for the identification of potential failures and mitigation strategies needs further research.. Further research is required to develop such solutions and their integration within the boundaries of CPFR.. Further studies incorporating the relationships and the differences between CPFR and other techniques can help to identify further capabilities of CPFR.

4. What is the main reason for poor performance of trading partners?
Incentive misalignment problems may arise in implementing CPFR resulting in losing partners’ commitment when partners decisions are made corresponding to each partners individually, maximizing his/her own performance metrics.
