Supply chains are becoming increasingly
international and finely meshed, and
hence more complex. In order to provide
the required level of service to highly
demanding customers and to gain a
firm grip on the supply chain, end-to-
end traceability of goods is essential.
But this presents major supply chain
challenges. Supply Chain Movement
has collaborated with Zetes, a specialist
in supply chain solutions and supplier
of automatic identification and mobile
solutions, to produce this mindmap for
end-to-end supply chain traceability. It
outlines the route and includes road
signs indicating potential hazards along
the way.
Creators of the mindmap:
Consumers around the world are
becoming more and more demanding,
not least because of the growth in social
media and online shopping. Globalisa

tion, increasing legislation and the call
for improved sustainability are all mak

ing supply chain management ever-more
complex. Meanwhile new technological
advancements such as 3D printing,
RFID, cloud computing, smart watches
and glass technology are creating
uncertainty and opportunities alike. For
end-to-end traceability of goods flows,
companies must gain an overview of
the entire supply chain and all contact
points within it: Plan.
These trends have differing levels of
impact on the various departments
within a company. Sales & Marketing
wants to avoid having to say ‘No’ to
customers and is keen to strengthen
customer loyalty. Reducing costs and
improving the cash flow remain key focal
points. Sharing data within the various
supply chains is absolutely essential,
making IT management crucial. A major
challenge for HR is to achieve efficient
staffing levels across all locations. Such
demands at departmental level require
companies to draw up action plans: Do.
The supply chain department faces a
variety of challenges. The complexity
of packaging is increasing all the time.
The precise location of goods is not
always certain, and the flows of goods
are often not watertight. Furthermore,
there is a rising proliferation of different
logistics IT systems, all of which must be
connected together. These challenges
demand a structured, sequential analysis
of control points in the supply chain to
ensure correct deliveries: Check.
The solutions for tracing goods in the
supply chain are related to various
areas. For example, packaging-level
identification throughout the chain guar
-
antees compliance, among other things.
Real-time data communication makes it
possible to seamlessly integrate proof
of delivery and dock door control – in
other words, automatic registration of
incoming and outgoing goods. Today’s
technology offers smart solutions for use
in the logistics process, from distribution
centres through to on-shelf availability in
stores. The utilisation of a cloud-based
IT platform ensures uniformity, acces -
sibility and management, and offers
opportunities for app development.
