Abstract-The operating mechanism of supply chains has been altered by electronic commerce and its related business-to-business transaction capabilities. Information sharing has never been possible on such a large scale thanks to the Internet, frequently at a speed that is too quick for everyday use. Organizations lack the necessary resources to fully utilize data from transportation management systems, which typically store information on the locations of critical supply chain assets like products or vehicles, and warehouse management systems, which provide information on supplier/customer warehouse inventory levels and important customer ordering patterns. Through lowering lead-time variability, improving shipment and inventory accuracy, and cutting down on cycle times for shipping and receiving, the integration of these systems results in global inventory visibility and lower costs as well as better customer service. This study looks at the overall cost savings that suppliers and warehouses may realize from an integrated system’s improved worldwide visibility.
