Robotic applications in processes

• Robotic process automation (RPA)

• High volume, transactional processes by robots reduce CT, improve accuracy, increase productivity

• IT support and management

• Automated assistant in customer care and call centres

• Automated decision-making on inventory, scheduling

• Short development and training cycles

Impact of IOT (Internet of Things) in the Future

IOT will create an Intelligent interconnected network linking global SC

Automated decision-making in SC

Needs for IOT enabled SCM

Karimi, Kaivan, and Gary Atkinson. "What the Internet of Things (IoT) needs to become a reality." White Paper, FreeScale and ARM (2013): 1-16.

Examples of IOT-enabled SCM

• Inability of a supplier to deliver owing to adverse event

– Alternate sourcing in real-time

• Delay of a supplier

– Cascaded to SC to revise quoted lead times

• Production schedules can be optimized in real-time with better information

• Logistics can be planned better

– Location + weather + traffic information can lead to better fulfilment estimation

Assessing Impact of Factors on Supply Chain Management (SCM) and skill sets

• Big data analytics

• Robotics

• Internet of Things (IOT)

• 3D Printing
