Advances in Supply Chain Management Decision Support Systems: Potential for Improving Decision Support Catalysed by Semantic Interoperability between Systems
Datta, Shoumen Palit Austin (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Engineering Systems Division, 2006-07)Globalization has catapulted ‘cycle time’ as a key indicator of operational efficiency [1] in processes such as supply chain management (SCM). Systems automation holds the promise to augment the ability of supply chain ... -
Advances in Supply Chain Management: Potential to Improve Forecasting Accuracy
Datta, Shoumen Palit Austin; Granger, Clive W. J. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Engineering Systems Division, 2016-07)Forecasting is a necessity almost in any operation. However, the tools of forecasting are still primitive in view of the great strides made by research and the increasing abundance of data made possible by automatic ... -
Auto ID Paradigm Shifts from Internet of Things to Unique Identification of Individual Decisions in System of Systems
Datta, Shoumen Palit Austin (Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Engineering Systems Division, 2008-02)Return on investment (ROI) from radio frequency (RF) based tools of identification may increase with the diffusion of frequency agnostic modes of radio frequency identification (RFID), such as, ultrawideband (UWB). Similarly, ... -
