Supply Chain Management Software
Computers are especially suited to the automation of repetitive tasks, and managing large amounts of information. One example of this is in supply chain management software. Modelling a supply chain using computer algorithms can highlight potential problems such as bottlenecks in the supply chain which may reduce efficiency. These potential problems can then be corrected before they appear in the real world.
Controlling the supply chain using software also improves efficiency greatly. Implementation of Just In Time (JIT) deliveries potentially saves millions in cost of holding stock.
