The era of paper-based systems and physically monitoring the supply chain is ending. In place of long paper trails and maintenance schedules, machines with the capacity to communicate their needs and issues via the industrial Internet of Things (IoT) are becoming an essential component of effective processes. You have probably heard about the IoT in the famous GE commercials, such as the “Talking Train and Car,” as depicted on Engineering.com, but you might not have thought about how your organi

by Iman Niroomand The major concern of big organizations in implementing an efficient supply chain network is improving the flow of material throughout a complex network. One way to improve the flow is with crossdocking and to expedite the process of materials throughout the supply chain channel. In this post, I would like to review the transformation of distribution center operations by using IT solutions to expedite the flow of products and minimize the cost of inventories.

In part two, Chuck focuses on how to draft your terms and conditions. Writing your terms of use can be a monumental task for anyone. Procurement and suppliers often assume that small print is highly complicated legal jargon that is both boring and largely irrelevant.

It was 30 years ago that Robert Fulghum first published his collection of essays “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.” In the title essay, he provided a list of how to live, what to do, and how to be. First and foremost on his list was “share everything.” Software infrastructure was almost undoubtedly not what Robert had on his mind as he wrote his credo many years ago, but the adage applies so well when discussing the benefits of multi-tenant technology.

Who coined the term “Big Data”? How did we get there without tiny data, ordinary data, slightly larger data, chubby data and bordering on big data? People working in or associated with Supply Chains seem obsessed by data yet data itself tells you absolutely nothing.

Often the ultimate goal of a supply chain planning professional is to optimize the capabilities of the company’s supply chain to meet customer requirements while minimizing costs and maximizing company performance. Despite its importance, this goal is often unreached—and if it is reached, it may last only a short time. Why? Because supply chains are ever-changing, driven by changing customer requirements, supply chain characteristics, industry dynamics, and company objectives.
