  1. Role of Technology in Logistics and Supply Chain Management

  2. INTRODUCTION • The logistics and supply chain industry is rapidly transforming due to increasing customer demands. • Technology is enabling seamless, real-time, and optimized product journeys from raw material to customer. • Key advancements are redefining efficiency and customer satisfaction standards. • Embrace these innovations to stay competitive and enhance your operations.

  3. Traditional Logistics & Supply Chain Practices • Manual Tracking: • Handwritten logs used for monitoring inventory, order statuses, and transportation routes. • Frequent manual updates required for accuracy. • Paper-Based Processes: • Physical documents used for purchase orders, shipping manifests, inventory lists, and invoices. • Records managed and retrieved manually from physical files.

  4. Common Challenges with Traditional Practices Inefficiencies and High Costs: • Time-consuming manual data entry and record-keeping. • Increased risk of errors and slower operations. • Greater need for personnel and physical storage, leading to higher operational costs. Lack of Real-Time Visibility: • Difficulty accessing up-to-date information on inventory and shipments. • Delays in data availability impede quick responses to supply chain changes.

  5. Role of Technology in Logistics • Tracking:GPS and RFID offer real-time shipment location and status updates, enhancing visibility and accuracy. • Inventory Management:Advanced software tracks stock levels, forecasts demand, and automates stock control. • Automation:Automated systems handle tasks like sorting and packing, speeding up operations and minimizing human error.

  6. Technologies Transforming Logistics & Supply Chain Management Internet of Things (IoT): • Tracking Shipments:Sensors provide real-time location & condition updates. • Monitoring Inventory:Offers real-time updates on stock levels and locations. • Enhancing Visibility:Improves overall supply chain transparency. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML): • Predicting Demand:Analyzes data to forecast future needs. • Optimizing Routes:Enhances delivery efficiency and reduces costs. • Automating Tasks:Streamlines routine processes like data entry and order processing.
