Title:
Corporate Logistics
Improvement
through Automated Processes: A Romanian Case Study for a Repair Flow
Control
and Supply Management System
Abstract: Manufacturing
systems are often costly to develop, operate, and maintain. Their
flawless
functioning is a major premise of market success in today’s global
market.
In this article we describe a complex supply management and repair flow
control
system, developed in order to enhance the competitive power of a
company
in dynamic environments. The system is used by the Romanian branch of
an
multinational communications provider (focused mainly on mobile phones)
and
functions using the organizational Intranet (we are about to transform
it
in an Extranet, involving some strategic suppliers of the
organization).
It was developed as a Repair Flow Control system, but it necessarily
evolved
to cover all supply management activities associated with technical
support
of current organizational activities. It also includes a complex,
automated
fuzzy rule set system, used for decision support and independent system
control
and management.
