Supply Chain Quality Information Management Methodology and Application System Research

Abstract:

Traceability is a new requirement of supply chain quality information management, but many companies have not got any effective measures yet. In response to this issue, this study firstly focuses on the management approach for traceability and discusses the quality information that need to be identified and its characteristics, then a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-enabled method is proposed to record the quality information; after that, a BOM-based approach is used to organize the recorded quality information; linking of these quality information is made to achieve traceability. Finally a quality information management system is built on the proposed methodology and an application research in Auto parts manufacturing industry is used to demonstrate its effectiveness. Implementation result shows that the proposed methodology can achieve traceability effectively and supply chain product quality information management has indeed improved through ensured traceability.
