Investigation of the Impact of Smart Packaging on Performance in Deteriorating Items Supply Chain

Abstract:

The Packaging sector is an important global industry, representing about 2% of the Gross National Product of the developed countries. In recent years deteriorating items packaging such as food and pharmacy packaging has been developing by high speed, attempting to product safety, shelf-life of products, environmental condition and consumer convenience. So the new initiative methods have been studying and implementing to develop the function of this industry which smart techniques for packaging are samples of this method. This techniques have high power for security the quality or safety of deteriorating items by using the less additives or deteriorate prevented materials that cause the reduce within of the waste, venom and allergies. Smart systems can increase production efficiency, precise and continual and surveillance, product pursuit wherever at supply chains and finally increases the safety factor of consuming safe product and reduces the protests from consumer. The fundamental point is that how we use this technique to improve the system condition. In this research we survived the effect of implementing smart packaging on inventory control also the system has been compared before and after implementing the smart packaging by using mathematical model.
