The network of supply and demand among companies that is the rudiment of Supply Chain (SC) has continuously developed into SC. And a SC is going to be an Integrated Supply Chain (ISC) from the evolution of the logistics, information system and group decision theory.On the basis of the standardization of logistics, the companies in an ISC will thoroughly outsource their business of logistics. And the Third Party Logistics (3PL) and the Fourth Party Logistics (4PL) will be as an entity or not an entity to coordinated operate through the 4PL designs the process and the 3PL practices the design. They jointly provide an integrated project for ISC.The information platform of an ISC is the extension and integration of enterprise information system. Three parts make it up of. The first is the Integrated Supply Chain Information Portal (ISCIP). It is an applied framework, which is the result of the information flow synthetical integration in SC, and can be visited, extracted, analyzed and saved the individual information through a single channel by some companied, consumers and partnerships among the ISC. So the companies, consumers and partnerships in an ISC can make rational decision. The second is the Data Warehouse (DW) of ISC. The DW can provide normal report forms and charts, support multidimensional analysis and is the key basis of Data Mining. The third is the enterprise database of an ISC. Its data model is the basis of DW of an ISC.The Group Decision Theory is made up of the group decision that embodies the collective interest and the analysis with conflicts that means the game problems are among the companies of an ISC. So supposing an ISC is steady, and all members in an ISC pursue the interest of whole ISC. The group decision in an ISC is to concentrate the utility of one company in an ISC into the utility of an ISC. The concentrating includes three types, i.e. the sequence of utility, the probability theory and the fuzzy mathematics. From the fuzzy set theory, this paper discussed two models of the concentrating. In this paper, the decisionalanalysis with The Group Decision Theory in an ISC has mainly two aspects. One is to construct the utility function of each company in an ISC. The other is to select the rule of group decision based on the Social Choice Function (SCF) and the Expert Consultation (EC). The Group Decision Theory applies to practice is the Group Decision Support System (GDSS).The Entropy Theory is the best measure to the uncertainty of a system. The reasons introducing the Entropy Theory into the research of an ISC are to quantificationally research a good deal of uncertainty in an ISC, to weigh the system of an ISC by way of the entropy model.At last, the integrated project of an ISC, the information platform of an ISC and the group decision model of an ISC will be integrated into a whole by way of System integration (SI). The value of the whole system that is set up via the managerial integration in a company, the interface integration between companies and the technical integration through an ISC is bigger than the summation of all single subsystem.
