1. Introduction
The use of effective and efficient supply chain has its advantages. However, in order to deploy an effective and efficient supply chain, it is necessary to coordinate the flow of material, information and financial details among all the parties involved in the supply chain.
The coordination is not always perfect which create problems in the supply chain. Problems may come across the upstream level where sourcing or procurement from external suppliers is done. It may also be the case that the problem lies in the internal systems of the organisation where the packaging, assembly or manufacturing takes place. The problems may also arise in the downstream where the distribution takes place. The various problems that come across the supply chain are discussed in the next section.
Technology has help mankind to achieve what was thought to be impossible. The problems of supply chain can be solved using the technology developed. For example, in this internet era, the payment is done online with just a click. This process take just minutes which earlier would had taken days. Technology plays an important role solving the problems of supply chain which are discussed in the subsequent sections.
