SCM Enterprise Solution Using Soft Computing Techniques

Abstract

SCM is a well-defined domain with business process working in predefined manner, but agility handling is not so well defined for SCM. In SCM, most of the agile affecting areas are distribution, network optimization, Shipment consolidation, Cross docking, Supplier management, and integration. Agile supply chain mainly focuses on the manufacturing and logistics strategies. Changes depend on organizational policy; hence it can be incomplete or uncertain. To manage this unpredictable environment, a Soft computing technique is used for constructing intelligent system. This paper helps to understand the supply chain domain using soft computing techniques. This paper shows the survey of experts from the SCM domain to predict different soft computing techniques that can be used in handling agile supply chain business processes.
