From the early 2000s, with the rapid expansion and increasing complexity of supply chains, the logistics literature has frequently referred to "the seven rights of logistics (7Rs)" that linked business logistics to the key strategic objectives of cost competitiveness, quality, flexibility, and agility. The 7Rs are described as to deliver the “right product”, in the “right quantity”, in the “right quality”, at the “right place”, at the “right time” for the “right customer” and at the “right cost”. The 7Rs suggest a generic roadmap for achieving efficiency, effectiveness, and a higher level of customer satisfaction in logistics services. However, within the last decade, customers' demand for customized products and services has increased dramatically. The generic 7Rs of logistics tend to differ for almost every individual customer, so the new focus is “the customized rights of logistics". This new paradigm forces businesses to explore and experience new methods and tools to transform logistics processes to be faster, more flexible, and more customer-oriented than ever before. The aim of this paper is to explore the benefit of adopting novel technologies in business processes to achieve the customized rights of logistics. Our research findings reveal that the adoption of novel technologies in logistics processes significantly leverages the ability of logistics service providers to offer customized solutions for their customers.
Keywords: customized logistics, novel technologies, the seven rights of logistics
The fourth industrial revolution is mainly based on the Industrial Internet-of-Things (IoT), connectivity and cyber-physical systems, in which factories should reach important theoretical savings. In this paper, a transition procedure is proposed to transform a factory based on a ‘Make to Order’ (MTO) manufacturing process (comprised mainly of legacy machinery) into a smart factory level 2 (according to the Industry 4.0) fully aligned to its organisational strategic goals that allows to reach the theoretical savings but without the prohibitive cost of replacing legacy-based machinery by new one. This proposal was validated in a real case study during four months where operation efficiency was improved and the energy consumption, the projected costs and the percentage of human errors were reduced in 17%, 3% and 70%, respectively.
The fourth industrial revolution promises to create what has been called the smart factory. The vision is that within such modular structured smart factories, cyber-physical systems monitor physical processes, create a virtual copy of the physical world and make decentralised decisions. This paper provides a view of this initiative from an automation systems perspective. In this context it considers how future automation systems might be effectively configured and supported through their lifecycles and how integration, application modelling, visualisation and reuse of such systems might be best achieved. The paper briefly describes limitations in current engineering methods, and new emerging approaches including the cyber physical systems (CPS) engineering tools being developed by the automation systems group (ASG) at Warwick Manufacturing Group, University of Warwick, UK.
Recent advances in manufacturing industry has paved way for a systematical deployment of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), within which information from all related perspectives is closely monitored and synchronized between the physical factory floor and the cyber computational space. Moreover, by utilizing advanced information analytics, networked machines will be able to perform more efficiently, collaboratively and resiliently. Such trend is transforming manufacturing industry to the next generation, namely Industry 4.0. At this early development phase, there is an urgent need for a clear definition of CPS. In this paper, a unified 5-level architecture is proposed as a guideline for implementation of CPS.
The envisioned capability of machine devices to autonomously communicate in the future Internet of Things (IoT) has brought considerable attention to machine-to-machine (M2M) communication in recent years. This paradigm has applications in homes, safety, transport, health, and industry. As an active focus of research, there are interesting open questions on several of its aspects, which we aim to capture in this paper. Accompanied by an attempted classification of existing surveys on M2M, we propose a followable exposition on the challenges and open research opportunities that embrace the diverse facets of M2M communication.
According to recent results, Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems or RMSs are the most efficient for manufacturing companies to adapt to the current market. This market is characterized by a high competitive level and very frequent and sudden variations in customer demands. Developing an RMS is not an easy task and a lot of work has been done in both academic and industrial fields to give solutions to address this issue. We can, for example, apply different methods and techniques used in the design of complex systems to design an RMS, these methods should be studied, analyzed, modified and improved if necessary before to be applied. Modularity is one of these techniques. In this paper, we will discuss how modularity could be used to develop RMS, and we will propose a standard approach based on the Design Structure Matrix to design an RMS with a modular architecture.
