Abstract
This paper proposes a systematical approach for redesigning a secure and efficient supply chain. A real international trading case of transporting cargos from an offshore bonded warehouse to a domestic one is used to demonstrate. Through supply chain architecture analysis, system boundaries, interfaces, and value related operands are defined. With System Dynamics analysis, feedback and relations of actions to the goals are studied, and potential options are evaluated. Then a prototype of the selected option is implemented to gather further information for future improvement. The two elements, RFID and UCR, applied for improving supply chain, and how they work in the prototype are explained.
