A company can sustain in this competitive global market by supply chain engineering which involves modern production and operations management (POM) techniques. This technique helps in adding flexibility to the system, and reduces production cost. Supply Chain Engineering includes inventory management techniques in supply chains, RFID technologies, methods for the design of flexible and re configurable manufacturing systems, as well as real time assignment and scheduling methods.
Inventory Management:
The Inventory Management system is useful in providing information to efficiently manage the flow of materials, effective utilization of people and equipment, coordinate internal activities, and communicate with customers. Inventory includes work in progress and finished goods, and closing stock in a supply chain of a company.
RFID Technology:
RFID can be expanded as radio frequency identification and it is a technology that is used to track and identify an object. It uses radio waves to exchange the data between a reader and the electronic tag attached to an object.
Real time assignment and scheduling methods:
These real time production methods are used in assigning sequential jobs to plural processing machines with different ability to adjust to such changes of environment, as job tendencies and production site situations.
Manufacturing Systems:
Flexible manufacturing system is manufacturing system which provides flexibility that allows the system to react in the case of changes, whether predicted or unpredicted. Re configurable manufacturing system is designed for rapid change in its structure, as well as its hardware and software components, in order to quickly adjust its production capacity and functionality within a part family in response to sudden market changes or intrinsic system change.
All these techniques together have created a value for supply chain engineering, which is playing a crucial role in the business processes.
