Financing Hub Financing the Hub Supplier Hub or Vendor Hub is becoming a common establishment. Vendors are expected to provide JIT delivery, VMI. Vendors and 3PLs are being asked to procure and hold inventories Inventories are often crammed down on the weakest link in the supply chain, with limited or unfavorable access to the capital market. VMI-hub for semiconductor device manufacturer whose efficient production run constitutes 9 day supply. OEM vendor-hub in Singapore where suppliers had been unwilling to consign inventory in the hub. Leveraging bank s power to get the lowest inventory holding cost rate. Increases the credit available to venturebacked companies. Provides means to gain efficiency with larger production runs.

Iron Mountain of containers. RFID the Emerging Technology RFID Technology works. We can track things from factory to to foxhole. What would have taken several days to to locate in in the the first Gulf war, we we can now find in in 2 2 minutes. This technological transformation started only in in the the mid-9s, but it it has led led to to dramatic efficiency gains. While there are are one-third as as many troops this time around as as Desert Storm, the the Army is is using 9 9 percent fewer shipping containers. Maj.

Focus on Security After September 11 Supply Chain Security with Smart-Seal Real time alert and notification provides security. Enables fast customs clearance & eliminates inspection. Higher assurance of supply leads to supply chain confidence.
Use Technologies to Extend Virtual Supply Chain Invisible border. Efficient customs clearance. Expanded free trade zone for transshipments, distribution and postponement. Summary Technology or business evolutions usually follow the substitution, scale and structure stages. Supply chain innovations also follow the three-stage evolution process. While structural impacts can create greater values, it also takes more time to emerge. impacts could involve process redesign, postponement, collaborations, and financial flow re-engineering.
