Abstract
The present systems and techniques enable supply chain visualization. Data regarding items can be obtained as the items move through a supply chain, wherein the data includes event data that identifies specific ones of the items at specific locations in the supply chain at specific times. The data can be analyzed to produce information while at least a portion of the items move through the supply chain. A visualization of the information can be provided, and the visualization can be usable to identify one or more changes to make in at least one portion of the supply chain to improve the at least one portion of the supply chain.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining data regarding items as the items move through a supply chain, wherein the data comprises event data that identifies specific ones of the items at specific locations in the supply chain at specific times;
- analyzing the data to produce information while at least a portion of the items move through the supply chain;
- and
- providing a visualization of the information usable to identify one or more changes to make in at least one portion of the supply chain to improve the at least one portion of the supply chain.
A system comprising:
- a data processing apparatus including at least one hardware processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoding instructions configured to cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining data regarding items as the items move through a supply chain, wherein the data comprises event data that identifies specific ones of the items at specific locations in the supply chain at specific times;
- analyzing the data to produce information while at least a portion of the items move through the supply chain;
- and
- providing a visualization of the information usable to identify one or more changes to make in at least one portion of the supply chain to improve the at least one portion of the supply chain.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoding instructions operable to cause data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining data regarding items as the items move through a supply chain, wherein the data comprises event data that identifies specific ones of the items at specific locations in the supply chain at specific times;
- analyzing the data to produce information while at least a portion of the items move through the supply chain;
- and
- providing a visualization of the information usable to identify one or more changes to make in at least one portion of the supply chain to improve the at least one portion of the supply chain.
