Technological management in the supply chain
- Supervisors: Prof. Lee Luong, Dr Yousef Amer and Dr Romeo Marian
- Area: Logistics and supply chain management
- Abstract: Emerging technology such as radio frequency identification (RFID) and other wireless technologies are beginning to have an impact on supply chain management. Some of the areas for research focus are;
- Optimizing supply chain and freight operations by linking RFID to traffic, weather, work region data
- Quantitative research into the factors considered for the uptake of RFID
- Frameworks for analysing adoption of RFID
Other areas of current research in the technological management of the supply chain processes are the use of Enterprise Resource Systems (ERP), Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), Vendor Management Inventory (VMI) and Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR) systems in particular;
- Implementation issues in SME’s
- Assessing the effectiveness of technological management in supporting logistics and supply chain decision making
