Innovations in the Internet of Things (IoT) are promising to transform supply chain management processes, rendering the supply chain more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable than ever. When used as a tool in the supply chain, IoT devices exhibit immense promise across a wide array of functions, from the continuous monitoring of shipments to mitigating risk. Let's take a closer look at how supply chains are using IoT to transform their operations and upgrade their capabilities.
Shipping containers are steel boxes that are used to transport goods all over the globe. They are made out of strong steel, making them incredibly durable so that they can handle long travels. Shipping containers have transformed the transportation industry, allowing the transport of goods on rail, road, and ship easily. Standardisation of containers allowed them to fit into different transport and storage areas easily. This standardisation, also called containerisation, increases efficiency by a huge margin.
Total stock return is an important measure that investors use to assess their portfolio performance. It measures both the capital gains and dividends of a security over a period of time, allowing investors to compare one investment against another and make informed decisions about where to put their money.
When you need to transport goods between countries, there are a host of rules and regulations put in place by the taxation and customs union. These ensure that everything is handled properly for the safety of the person/company delivering and public distribution in the exit country. You will need to have the right transit documents ready before your goods are transported.
One of the greatest challenges for supply chains today is the constant evolution that accompanies an increasingly complex environment. The most successful companies in their respective fields will be the ones who actively monitor their supply chains. While some companies can afford to have a team of experts who dedicate their time to monitoring and managing supply chains, most cannot. This is where technology comes into play. By using the right tools and systems, companies can keep track of their supply chain while still focusing on other areas of importance.
