Executive Summary
In the recent years, supply chain management has seen lots of technical and process improvement. Enterprises of all sizes increasingly reach for international markets in their supply and sales, and the supply chain is becoming an increasingly important business process.
Lowering of supply chain costs, inventory investments, and the increase of traceability and quality assurance all impact the supply chain directly. In order for the supply chain to be an effective operation, the accuracy and consistency of unit data is of paramount importance. This increases the pressure on an old obstacle of supply chain systems, incoming shipment labeling and handling. The new market requirements are forcing enterprises to reevaluate their data entry and traceability standards. At the end of the line, their issues are usually traced back to the inability or unwillingness of the supplier to label his shipments to a standard needed by the enterprise.
The paper will present an analysis of the vendor labeling issue and present a technical solution to this persistent problem. It will present a quantum leap in the evolution of label printing and a comprehensive overview of how focusing on the supplier will drive the reliability of supply chain data in the future.
