Process Analysis, System Modeling, Simulation and Optimization Manufacturing processes and logistics systems are frequently complex enough to warrant a study at the system level. Independencies between components of the system (multi-stage manufacturing processes, bullwhip effect in a mult-echelon supply chain, etc) and dynamic uncertainties (demand fluctuations, disaster scenarios, etc) require the use of simulation to manage bottlenecks and critical points. The benefits of a well conducted simulation study are improvement of operational efficiencies and reduction of risk during planning. >More Quality Tools for Supply Chain Management Quality tools in Manufacturing processes are well established. As logistics and Supply Chain processes grows to handle an increasing variety and volume of SKUs, quality tools such as lean, six sigma, FMEA, Triz and QFD will play in increasing important part in monitoring and enhance the quality of supply chain processes. >More RFID/ePC for Supply Chain Management With its non-line of sight, simultaneous multi-product identification capability, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has tremendous potential to automate supply chain processes. From enhancing manufacturing processes, enhancing throughput along logistics flow to giving the retail customer a more intimate experience, TDC for Supply Chain Management aims to be at the forefront of RFID development for Supply Chain applications. >More Supporting Facilities and Software
