AB  - Changes in legislation, congestion problems and the continuing
drive to improve supply chain profitability are being addressed by new
technologies. The part of the logistics cycle that is now the focus of
attention is supply chain traceability, particularly the tracking and
traceability of transport, personnel and goods. The new technologies
that are being brought to bear on supply chain traceability include,
Mobile Data, Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVL), Global Positioning
Systems (GPS), consignment tracking, etc. These technologies have now
reached maturity in their technical development and are being
effectively incorporated into business processes. Provides an overview
of the technical status and future prospects of these technological
developments and argues the business case for and against traceability.
Also assesses the key market sectors in which these technologies will
have an impact and suggests that a “building bricks”
approach is taken to incorporating the technologies into re‐engineered
business processes.
