چکیده
Efficient logistics control demands for transparency to inventory in the whole distribution network. However, current information technology (IT) solutions do not support creating inventory transparency to temporary storage locations, which poses severe problems for supply chain management in project-oriented industries. This paper presents how inventory transparency can be built with quick-to-install shipment tracking systems. The results are based on a case study of a pilot implementation in a supply chain of mobile telecommunications networks. The results of the case study indicate that shipment tracking systems can be used to provide inventory transparency to any supply chain location, including temporary storages currently lacking inventory management applications. Furthermore, the case company was also able to generate logistics control information from the shipment tracking information that was considered valuable for both project and logistics
