A proposal of storage scheme for supply chain management
Ryota Shimono, Tatsuo Tsuji, Ken Higuchi · 2012
We are now working on design of basic data structures for administrating product flow in supply chain management system. These data structures represent the moving flow of products together with their temporal information. By the employed history-offset encoding scheme for multidimensional datasets, they are encoded to two scalar values. All the routing path and temporal information of the products since factory shipment can be traced by using only these encoded values. This paper describes the proposal of the new approach we are now working on.
