What is Supply chain? Supplier



Manufacturer

Distributor

Retailer

Customer

Consists of all parties involved, directly or indirectly, in fulfilling a customer request

Objective of a Supply Chain  

Maximise overall profit Profit 



Revenue generated from customer - costs incurred along the entire chain (e.g. manufacturing / storing / distributing the product)

When is Supply chain effective?  Manage

Product, Information and Fund flow

So, what is SCM? 

Objective is to be able to have the right products in the right quantities at the right place at the right moment at minimal cost.

Bull Whip Eb 

Bullwhip Effect

Each organisation seek to solve the problem from its own perspective  Small

changes in consumer demand result in large variations in orders placed upstream

 

Dramatic order size variation Amplification of order size variation as one moves up the supply chain Delay 2 weeks

Supplier

Delay 2 weeks Delay 2 weeks

Manufacturer Orders 40

Distributor Orders 25

Retailer Orders 15

Customer Buys 10

Causes 



  

Little or no communication between supply chain partners. Delay times between order processing, demand, and receipt of products. Over reacting to the backlog orders. Inaccurate demand forecasts. http://www.supplychainonline.com/previews

RFID Technology Adoption in Supply Chain Management

12

Overview of RFID Technology Basic Purpose: To provide electronic identification without the need for physical or visual contact How RFID Works: Small electronic tag on item responds to request from reader device via radio signal

Active vs. Passive RFID 13

Active RFID tag: has its own power supply to transmit radio signal, typically a battery.

Passive RFID tag: has no power supply; inductive current from the antenna when it is pinged powers the tag’s return signal.

Active vs. Passive RFID 14

Active RFID:  Own power supply  Stronger signal  Longer range  More expensive  Larger  More data storage

Passive RFID:  No power supply  Weaker signal  Shorter range  Less expensive  Smaller  Less data storage

RFID OPERATIONS

What is RFID? – The TAGS Tags can be attached to almost anything: Company assets or personnel items such as apparel, luggage, laundry people, livestock, or pets high value electronics such as computers, TVs, camcorders

Supply Chain RFID Applications Counting inventory  Tracking inventory  Locating inventory  Shipping/receiving verification  Picking/packing verification  Identify/locate expired inventory 

All can be automated

RFID Advantages 18

Real-time information  Automatic identification (less labor)  Fast identification (up to 1500/min.)  Precise location of item not needed for identification  Location can be determined through triangulation  Improved visibility of items 
