Globalization and expanding markets has invariably led to increasingly higher loads of goods traffic. This has resulted, amongst other things, in challenges to supply chain management in terms of cost pressure and demands for short-term availability of the goods. Considering that an increasing number of goods will be “on the road” (on rails, on ship, in the air) for an appreciable percentage of the life-cycle, there is an urgent need to bridge the information gap between the automated systems at the factory sites and the storage control systems at the destination sites. This chapter reports on a system solution that has been developed by T-Systems’ Solution and Service Center Ulm / Germany, within the Service Offering Portfolio “Embedded Functions”. The system solution has been gained as a synergy effect of connecting mobile communication solutions with Auto ID Services. It is presented here and discussed in the context of online surveillance during transportation, providing both downstream batch tracking, as well as upstream traceability.

Supply chain management (SCM) is a continually evolving field, relying on breaking down internal and external organizational barriers to gain efficiencies, improve customer support and increase flexibility, thereby resulting in lower costs and increased market share. An emerging area in supply chain practice is green SCM, which integrates environmental management with traditional SCM. Green supply chain management is seen as an important step companies need to take on the road to sustainable practices. SCOR Model (Supply Chain Operations Reference) has been developed by the Supply Chain Council (SCC now merged with APICS) in order to guide companies applying SCM principles. The GreenSCOR model was also developed as an integrated green SCM tool that allows companies to manage their supply chain's environmental impacts, resulting in more efficient operations which have minimal impact on the environment. This chapter will talk about how SCM principles can be modified to reduce the adverse effects of company operations on the environment, especially using the GreenSCOR model.

This work aims to address the problem presented by the company Tu Envió Fácil SAS, based on the low indicators of customer satisfaction. The main objective is to design a model of optimization of the logistics distribution of "last mile" against the low indicators that customers reveal about the company, mainly in the city of Bogotá, in the period between September 2019 and December 2019 For this, the theories of Supply Chain Management will be taken into account. Which allow to determine that there is a need to design the model to optimize and be able to make an improvement in the factors that are generating customer dissatisfaction and the low effectiveness of operations. It was established that the current indicators are adequate for the management of the last mile logistics distribution of the company and the urgency of the improvement measures to be taken is determined. One of the particular problems that stand out in the investigation is due to the road complexity that some cities have, either in terms of infrastructure, traffic or security that the couriers face, thus leading to the non-fulfillment of their work in relation to delivery of merchandise and customer dissatisfaction. Given this, this proposal intends to implement new methodological ways in the field of logistics as other alternatives in order to shorten the delivery and compliance times of the product and significantly improve the favorable rates of the company.
