Ikea, building a sustainable supply chain Radu Acalfoaie
IKEA strategy is to control and coordinate the value chain from raw material, production and range development to distribution in the stores. Their vertical integration including the backward integration of the manufacturing arm Sweedwood and extension of their activities from furniture factories to control raw materials, saw mills, board suppliers and other component factories.
They have used life cycle analysis of products through the supply chain to determine purchasing, manufacturing and consumer strategies.
That makes the supply chain management one of the most important functions in the company and a triple-bottom-line approach has increased economic profit while reducing social and environmental loses.
IKEA triple-bottom-line approach consists from:
• Economy/profit
• Ecology/planet
• Equity/people

The digital economy will transform the way we live and work, how business runs, and how society
functions – and it will do this in a timeframe that is much shorter than any other major economic
transition in history.

Digital Supply Chain - Insights on Driving the Digital Supply Chain Transform...Lora Cecere
Executive Summary
It started with the internet, and the drum beat continues. Mobile. Social. Cloud. Digital Products. Telematics. The Internet of Things. The list of enablers is endless.
Over the last decade, digital marketing departments quickly took advantage of new technologies to power marketing capabilities. As a result, companies have new products and services; but, over the last decade there has been little change in supply chain processes.
There is a great divide in organizations today. There are digital teams in marketing while there are traditional supply chain processes in operations. Many supply chain leaders are asking how they digitize their supply chain practices. This report is designed to help. Here we share a five-step process to get started, and we provide insights from recent research on how to transform manufacturing processes.
What Is Digital Business?
Digitization transforms businesses. A digital business model uses new forms of technology to create new forms of revenue and business value. It is about the use of combinations of technologies to sense changes in real-time and shape a meaningful output.
Digital business is about much, much more than the redefinition of business processes for B2B and B2C. While e-business strategies are foundational, and necessary, it is about more than e-business. In today’s supply chain, while B2C models are well defined and new supply chain models have embraced and redefined e-commerce delivery, B2B processes lag B2C. Today, only 9% of B2B commerce business flows through business networks. There are no digital B2B officers. Companies have been slow to adopt new forms of B2B.
Warehouse Operations and Inventory Management Thomas Tanel
Companies that make the best use of the basic principles of planning and managing warehouse operations and inventory management have a competitive advantage. Organizations that lack warehouse strategic planning and inventory operational excellence lose profits, market share, cost advantages, and market leadership.
Traditional Supply Chain and Logistics channels are indeed changing. As organizations move from mass production and mass distribution to mass customization, creative approaches are needed in the management of warehousing and inventory. The challenge is always present, because different customers may demand different levels of service. Demand often cannot be forecasted, especially if one must deliver customized products or services exactly where the customer needs them.
Businesses today must understand that they are competing on the basis of time more than on any other factor. The rigors of supply chain management require that you take action to meet your customers’ demand for faster, more frequent, and more reliable deliveries. Your suppliers need to meet increasingly precise inbound schedules. Tomorrow’s customers are more likely to be in another country or continent than they are likely to be from across town, in another state, or in another province.
With a proven inventory management system and an A-B-C Analysis, you can transform your inventory into a proactive force that lowers your inventory investment, reduces carrying costs, boosts confidence in physical supply and distribution service levels, and increases customer and user satisfaction. From a storage and distribution perspective, you, as overseer of the supply management process, should also know how the warehousing layout design criteria and the space and storage schemes affect your material flow, service levels, computerization, and technology options.
Everything about Apple Inc is the talk of the town. IT research firm Gartner ranks Apple Supply Chain as the best supply chain in the world for 5 years in a row. Without any doubt, Apple Inc is the world leader in Innovation, Branding and Software Ecosystem. But, is Apple's Supply Chain really the number 1? Take a look at this to know more!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Wayne to sell the Apple I personal computer kit.
3. 1975 – Steve Wozniak was working for Hewlett Packard
(calculator manufacturers) by day and was a computer
hobbyist by night.
He realized that the prices of some computer parts had
gotten so low he could buy them himself.
Decided to work with fellow hobbyist Steve Jobs to build their
own computer
On 4/1/1976 – released the Apple I (for $666) and started
Apple Computers. It had 8 KB of RAM.
4.
5. According to Steve Jobs, Apple was so named because Jobs was coming back
from an apple farm, and he was on a fruitarian diet. He thought the name
was "fun, spirited and not intimidating".

46. More settling with rivals.
•If 2012 was the year of nasty court fights, 2013 will be the
year of peace.
•We already had a taste of that with the 10-year
truce announced between Apple and HTC in November.
•I think there's a good chance we'll see the same from two
remaining fights Apple's in with rivals.
47.
48.
49.
50.
51. It's the very secret sauce that keeps our company interesting among people.
52. • The company has a set-top box, but it's not for
plugging into your cable.
• Instead, its main purpose is to connect with Apple's
digital stores, along with third-party streaming
services.

calculator, calendar and much more.
60. Samsung produces 25 kinds of smartphones - market share of 28% - first quarter 2012,
while we sell only one smartphone and had about 19% of market share in smartphone
category.
If we introduce smartphones of low and middle range we can surely rule the world in
mobile phone category, but we don't want to become our own competitor.
And our company aimed to provide the best, not the cheapest since its beginning.
61. We are leader in tablet category and Walkman category.
Our iPhone is one of the largest selling mobile phone in the world.
Our app store is the biggest app store of the world with more than 25
billion downloads till date.
We have the thinnest and lightest laptop and the most advanced
personal computer.
In 2010, our reserve was more then the reserve of US government.
Our total revenue is more than GDP of more than a hundred countries.
62. So it's not surprising
that Apple is now the
most valuable
technology company in
the world.
Which makes Our
share a must buy!!
