A service-oriented approach for developing adaptive distribution chain

Abstract

This paper presents a service-oriented approach for development of adaptive distribution chain. The distribution chain presented in this paper achieves all the three objectives of an adaptive chain: Firstly, to achieve variability, this paper proposes an approach that uses iterations to fine-tune the modules that makeup the distribution chain. Secondly, to achieve visibility, this paper proposes Web services based Service Component Architecture for implementation of the distribution chain. Finally, mathematical modelling and simulation of the distribution chain is proposed for assuring the velocity.

Prioritization of digital capital measures in recruiting website for the national armed forces

“…According to the definition, Internet customer capital consist of users' word of mouth (or called word of mouse in the Internet), trust from the public, and timely response to the public's complaints. Internet service capital: refers to the capabilities of providing good services to improve their performance by technology and Internet (Becker, 2004;Liu & Chen, 2005;Chang, 2006;Davidrajuh, 2007;Liu & Wang, 2007;Liu, 2008). There are four components including processing and response speed, security of personal information, career planning services and stability of information system.…”

Small shop competitiveness: a technologistical perspective

“…It appears there are two areas of competence for the small shop to successfully participate in a viable supply chain: information technology and achieving cost competitiveness in the physical movement of product by creating high equipment utilisation, factors described alternatively by Davidrajuh (2007) as "variability, visibility [information systems driven] and velocity [physical movement]".
