Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

Electronic data interchange is defined as "transmission"

electronics of standardised commercial documents between computers, so that the information can

be processed without the need for manual intervention."

The exchange of

information between companies, automated and standardized through EDI, contributes to improving the

provisioning and supply chain management (SCM) in general, as it reduces shipping times,

receipt of documents and costs, and improves business relations between the parties involved.

E-procurement is a tool that automates and optimizes the purchasing process,

through software and the Internet, and thus contributes to improving the relationship between buyer and

salesperson sharing agile and continuous information.

The VMI and CRP constitute a provisioning system based on the exchange of

information via the Internet or EDI,

The VMI is concretized

when the supplier controls the customer's inventories and replenishes the quantities required for

guarantee the production process.

The CRP is a part of the VMI, dedicated to the management of information

to ensure continuous replenishment.

The ERP is a resource planning tool of the company, through a software designed to

manage the functions of the organization in an integrated manner.

ERP uses a single database whose use facilitates the

communication and exchange of information between the departments of the company, in order to avoid the redundancy of

the information available.

Consumer Relationship Management (CRM)

Transportation Management System (TMS)

Efficient Consumer Response (ECR)

Global Position System (GPS)

The WMS is an information subsystem that helps manage the flow of products and the handling of

facilities in the logistics network.

controls the operations that feed raw material and

components to the production process, in addition to attending to customer orders.

This

subsystem offers as advantages to have a real-time knowledge of the use of the resources of the

warehouse; cost reduction by optimizing operations; an improvement in the quality of the service,

for traceability and exact compliance with the specifications of the goods; and allows control

adequate stock.

It is a tool that allows you to quickly capture the information related to the

identification numbers of each commercial item, as well as the logistics units and

locations at any point in the value network.

The benefits of this are: more inventory control.

fast and reliable; better planning of transport, production and sales; a better

product identification; better management of storage and picking processes.

This is a generic term to refer to all technologies that use radio waves to

identify products automatically. Special tags or tags that emit signals are used

from radio to reading devices responsible for collecting signals.

the advantages of using the

RFID we have: greater data storage capacity (memory) compared to the barcode;

the variability of the information contained in the tags,

These are picking systems that do not require the use of papers. They are network-based

light and voice systems, respectively.

the basic component of Pick up to

Light is a series of indicator lights that guide the operator both to determine

picking locations, such as quantities to be collected.

in the case of Picking up to Voice, the operator carries a receiver and a headset

where you can receive, transmit, and send short messages about the operation of

picking in process.

Once the

operation, the operator presses a confirmation button and the stock is updated in time

real.

presents a number of alternatives of modes of transport, freight costs, expected times of

load, etc. This makes it possible to optimize transport resources by matching their lower cost with the

standards of services required by the client..

the advantages of TMS are: it facilitates the

provision of transport services; improves the planning and optimization of transport activities;

allows tracking and tracing of cargo; allows the consolidation (unification) of loads,

CRM, also known as Consumer Relationship Management, is a strategy

that allows companies to identify, attract and retain their customers. Covers the processes of

marketing, sales and customer service.

its advantages are the ease of managing

information relating to customers and increasing their satisfaction; cost reduction and

improvement in productivity due to the automation of activities.

the ECR is a strategic model in which they work

together customers and suppliers to deliver the greatest added value to the final consumer.

Its operation is based on the use of barcode

and EDI, which makes it possible to identify and track products, improve traceability and speed up the exchange of

information between the customer-supplier.

The global positioning system is a satellite system that allows, using the

navigation, determine the location of an object with great accuracy.

the various points of the supply chain can be realized in real time, as well as the

monitoring of loads and transport vehicles. A big advantage is the cost reduction due to the

better control over the transport fleet and increased safety due to traceability to the

products.
