Benefits of Technological Innovations in Logistics and Supply Chain in Manufacturing Section
Abstract
Manufacturing logistics and supply chain procedures have undergone a considerable technological
transformation that has boosted productivity, reduced costs, and increased customer satisfaction. Better
inventory management, fewer stockouts, and more accurate demand forecasts are all made possible by the
accurate information that this improved visibility gives manufacturers about stock levels, locations, and
product conditions. As a result, firms can improve the production procedures, lower surplus inventory,
and enhance customer service. Order fulfilment and warehouse operations have changed dramatically
since automation and robotics were adopted in logistics and warehousing. Material handling, order
picking, and packaging procedures are streamlined by automated technologies, such as autonomous
guided vehicles (AGVs) and robotic pickers. This increases operational effectiveness, lowers labor costs,
and reduces human error. These innovations give manufacturers the ability to process orders more
quickly, increase order accuracy, and achieve quicker delivery dates, eventually increasing customer
happiness.
