The document discusses the application of information technology in supply chain management. It covers topics such as the definition and dynamics of supply chain management, its components and degrees, the need for SCM, and the bullwhip effect. It also discusses how various IT tools can help address issues like quality, cost, time, technology and continuity of supply. Specific technologies covered include barcoding, RFID, e-commerce and EDI. The use of these technologies can help improve operational efficiency, reduce errors and cut costs in supply chain management.

Logistics and Supply Chain Management-OverviewThomas Tanel
This presentation is designed to take an overview of global supply chain logistics, both in terms of today's supply chain and in the demand flow management process, so you can know how to make the most of this powerful tool. You've probably heard something about these topics. You may even be vaguely familiar with them. But how much do you really know about their strategic importance and the specific benefits you can gain from having a solid understanding of them?
Here's the best way to investigate global supply chain logistics and the impact it can have on your organization. You will have the opportunity to explore a variety of logistics areas , extrapolate their meanings in ways that are appropriate for strategic planning, and apply the techniques needed to make it all work for your organization.
Your business needs and technology are in a constant state of rapid-fire change, but you can count on one thing remaining constant: the need to align logistics strategically with your market needs in order to gain a competitive advantage. This alignment requires building a supply and demand system that truly helps you respond to worldwide changes in sourcing and ever-shifting customer demand. What is the potential effect that global trade management will have on your supply chain? How do you convert digital value inputs into logistics value-added outputs? How can you harness the power of global supply chain logistics as a significant force in the execution of your corporate strategy? How can you gain the information you need to translate abstractions into concrete benefits through supply chain management and continuous flow distribution?

Supply Chain Management is a practice adopted by companies to get the right product at the right time to the customers, reduce cycle times, keep the inventory as low as possible and still offer superior customer service. Some of the goals of SCM are cut costs, increase profits,improve performance in relationships with suppliers and customers, develop value added services that gives company a competitive edge.
In this presentation we will discuss the supply chain management in e-commerce. The way supply and demand curve operates, it’s benefit and the way in which it dictates the e-market.

Globally manufacturers are facing a more complex and demanding environment, with slower economic growth, volatility in commodity prices, higher cost of warehousing, and a growing complexity of their supply chains to accommodate shifts in market demands. To achieve sustained growth and competitiveness in this environment, most industrial companies have by now, implemented ERPs and other technologies that help them capture data along their value chain. However, the underlying processes are still lacking in connectivity, rigor and controls, and the data gathered is difficult to interpret and analyze for real-time and accurate decision-making. Genpact has developed the insights and operational practices to power intelligent manufacturing enterprises with smarter processes, smarter analytics and smarter technologies to help them grow and outcompete.
To survive in today’s changing retail environment, smart organizations are working to optimize their (1) Shopping experience, (2) Operations, (3) Merchandizing and supply chain.
Understanding purchasing orientation is important for B2B companies and suppliers. The more complex the product/service exchange will result in higher degree of power balance and dependency in supplier relationships.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
