 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.

REFFERENCE MODEL(SCOR)
 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

Orders 40 Orders 25 Orders 15 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.

RFID Technology Adoption in

Supply Chain Management

 Overview of RFID
12
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: Passive RFID:

 Own power  No power supply

supply  Weaker signal

 Stronger signal  Shorter range

 Longer range  Less expensive

 More expensive  Smaller

 Larger  Less data storage

 More 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
17
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
