The document discusses the application of information technology in supply chain management. It covers topics such as the definition and dynamics of supply chain management, its components and degrees, the need for SCM, and the bullwhip effect. It also discusses how various IT tools can help address issues like quality, cost, time, technology and continuity of supply. Specific technologies covered include barcoding, RFID, e-commerce and EDI. The use of these technologies can help improve operational efficiency, reduce errors and cut costs in supply chain management.

activities.
TECHNOLOGY
To ensure that the firm’s supply base provides appropriate technology in a timely
manner.
It must ensure that technology which affects the firm’s core competencies is carefully
controlled when dealing with outside suppliers and customers.
CONTINUITY OF SUPPLY
To reduce the risk of supply disruptions
- Monitoring trends
- Developing appropriate supplier alliances

9. DEMAND
SUPPLIER MANUFACTURER DISTRIBUTOR RETAILER
Just-in-case inventory, or safety stock, is kept on hand to
compensate for poor information sharing and possible
transportation delays.
The Bullwhip effect says that demand variations are likely to be
exaggerated as decisions are made up the chain
Point-of-sale information can reduce the Bullwhip effect

bars, of varying widths.
Idea is to encode an identification number for
something that will be unique
18. Electronic labels are programmed with unique
information and attached to objects
Consist of two parts: a tag and a reader
Tag (transceiver) is activated by reader which transmit
a signal using radio frequency waves, tag in return
transmit encoded data back to the reader.
