Logistics Management



Technological Evolution





Role of technologyy A utomatic identificationy Communicationy Material handlingy Facility design



Automatic identification technologyy A ccuracyy Cost savingy Speedy Convenience



Bar coding y L inear :- consist of a single

row of bars & can be read by single scanner

y

Stacked:- several rows of bars& spaces & read bymultiple ID scanner

y Matrix:- polygonal array of

data cells & read by 2Dimage scanner

y Types of scanner are inuse:-y Contact scannery

Non-contact scanner



Bar coding & EDIy ´ TEXA S instruments has linked EDI & BAR CODING in the

order placement & management of office supplies.y The company benefited by way of reduction in the inventory-

holding cost to the extent of USD 2 million, freed up40000sq ft of warehouse space & reduction in cycle time bymore than one third.



Radio frequency identificationy It can be incorporated into PR ODUCT, A NIMAL , or

PER SON for the purpose of identification usingRA DIOWAV ES.

y R

FID contain at least TWO partsy One part consisting of an integrated circuit for sorting &processing information, modulating & demodulatingR F signals.

y Second one is anA NTENNA for receiving & transmittingsignals.



Radio in practicey ´ Future group, owner of PA NTAL OON, BIG BAZZAR has

entered into a tie-up with CISCO system to implementR FIDtech in allR ETA IL formats in India.



Memory buttonsy Used to supplant common means such as bar coding to

identify the goods.y It contains an encapsulated microprocessor.y

The information can be stored on a BUTTON that reader canphysically touch to extract information.

y It can be read with an electronic device without touching thepackage.

y Memory buttons are keyed with information required byvarious agencies, such as customs ,inspection, shipping etc.



Radio frequency tags ( RFT)y R FTs are used as an alternative to bar codes for

communicating inventory data via radio waves.y R FTs are pieces of silicon chip to store data in the

microcircuit.y They are programmable & have an erasable memory.y It consists of two key components namely, tags that act as a

data carrier & reader or antenna which transfers information

to n from the tag.



Voice interactive systemy It was developed for space travel application in 1980s.y Now extended to various other fields likeL EGAL ,

MEDICAL ,MA NUFACTUR ING, WAR EHOUSING & so on.y

In WAR EHOUSING..it allows the worker to communicatethe data to central computer without using keyboard.y It keeps the warehouse worker·s hands free to pick up, pack

& inspect goods.





C ommunication Technology1. Communication«..either O RAL or WR ITTEN, has a very

crucial role in business.2. EL ECTR ONIC DATA INTER CHA NGE

y

EDI used for transfer of business documents from onecomputer to another.y Business documents such as invoices, challans, cheques &

drawings are sent through mail, fax or courier.y EDI is a drive toward paperless document transfer or

transaction.



y The standard includesy Matching of data transmission speedy Data coding & decoding systemy

Matching of hardware of the computers



EDI benefitsSTRATEGIC OPERATIONAL OPPORTUNITY

FA STER TRA NSACTION- realtime document transfer

R eduction in businesstransaction costs due topaperless operations

Enhance image

JUST-IN ²TIMEmanufacturing techniquescan be adopted

Improved cash flow Competitive edge

Improvements in businessefficiency

Error reduction Improved corporate tradingrelationships

High- level

responsiveness in highlycompetitive markets

Security in transaction

& improvement in systemproductivity





E-Tracking y Commonly used by couriers for air & sea cargo.y Fleet owners often experience a problem when vehicle are

not returned to the depot on the stipulated time.y

They are worried about route delay, accident, highwayrobbery, & so on.y Tracking vehicle is a factor for providing effective

transportation service.



y E-tracking ensures

two thingsy It leads to higher

productivity of the

vehicley & the timely

delivery of thecargo.



VS AT (very small aperture terminalcommunication )

y

It is a two-way satelliteground station with a smalldish antenna.

y It represents a cost-effectivesolution for those who wantan independentcommunication network toconnect a large number of geographically dispersed sites.

y It offers satellite basedservices capable of supportingINTER NET, LA N (local areanetwork), voice & faxcommunications.



C ommunication systemsGP S (GEOGRAPHIC AL POS ITONING SYS TEM)

GIS (GEOGRAPHIC AL INFORMATION SYS TEM)

y A system wherein a vehicle can betraced accurately with the help of geostationary satellites.

y Once the position of the vehicle isknown , it can be transmitted tocenters.

y The transmission network will be amobile telephone or internet.

y In India it is used for limitedplaces.

y In GPS, a voice-over facility tospeak & hear instructions,L CD,with keyboard(to receive & textmsg).

y It consists of software toolsfor visualization of spatialfeatures & database relatingto geography.
