Real-time Tracking and Tracing System: Potentials for the Logistics Network
نویسنده
چکیده
The importance of tracking and tracing of shipments is considered quite high for manufacturing firms in terms of customer service and essential for managing logistics networks efficiently. Global industries are facing problems both from tracking and tracing in their logistics networks that creates huge coordination problems in the overall product development sites. This paper presents a sophisticated overview on technology-based methodology or approach for solving the complex tracking and tracing system in the logistics and supply chain network. The main objective of this research is to the management of logistics network through analyzing the new technological opportunities on real-time shipment tracking in dispersed manufacturing environment. It is hoped that these technologies would be able to offer solutions for tracking and tracing distribution chains through future information technologies such as available real time tracking technologies.

Potentials of Evolving Linear Models in Tracking Control Design for Nonlinear Variable Structure Systems
Evolving models have found applications in many real world systems. In this paper, potentials of the Evolving Linear Models (ELMs) in tracking control design for nonlinear variable structure systems are introduced. At first, an ELM is introduced as a dynamic single input, single output (SISO) linear model whose parameters as well as dynamic orders of input and output signals can change through ...
متن کاملSolving a bi-objective mathematical model for location-routing problem with time windows in multi-echelon reverse logistics using metaheuristic procedure
During the last decade, the stringent pressures from environmental and social requirements have spurred an interest in designing a reverse logistics (RL) network. The success of a logistics system may depend on the decisions of the facilities locations and vehicle routings. The location-routing problem (LRP) simultaneously locates the facilities and designs the travel routes for vehicles among ...
