Abstract
SUBTITLE: WIRELESS DEVICES AND MOBILE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT. WITH THEM, THE SUPPLY CHAIN IS TRANSFORMED FROM A REACTIVE, DIGITALLY ENABLED, LINEAR PROCESS TO A PROACTIVE SUUPLY WEB THAT ACTS MUCH LIKE A NERVOUS SYSTEM. IN THIS WEB, WIRELESS DEVICES ALLOW THE SUPPLY CHAIN TO SENSE REQUIREMENTS, PROBLEMS, OR CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE NETWORK INSTANTLY. THIS ACCESS TO REAL-TIME INFORMATION WILL ENABLE FASTER DECISION MAKING AND GREATER COMMUNICATION AMONG PARTS OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN.
