Abstract

In this paper, the distribution center (DC) model shown in Shapiros Modeling the Supply Chain is modified to show optimal locations to place small and large refineries based on transportation distances, refinery building costs, and the costs associated with refinery sustainability and pipeline quality. Though this model was originally used to determine the optimal locations to place distribution centers based on transportation distances and the size of the distribution centers, this model was modified to allow the use of different costs associated with the quality condition of the pipeline and the costs of sustaining an environmentally friendly facility. The case used to prove the model is the Indonesian oil industry due to how an increase in efficiency and excess capacity could provide another viable country to supply oil to the United States. The outputs of this paper are efficiency frontiers that show how the costs of pipeline quality and facility sustainability affect the overall costs of the Indonesian oil industry and a model that can be used to evaluate the oil industries in other countries.

Abstract

Many ERP systems on the market today follow some of the same guidelines based on the SCOR model. Through the various modules in each system, they implement the different aspects of the model in Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, and Return. Many of the activities in these systems are manual and prone to data entry mistakes forcing the system to be less reliable than it could be. RFID is a technology that has been used to reduce these errors and increase the speed at which the data is obtained and implemented in the system. It is hypothesized that by implementing RFID into specific components used in the modules in the ERP system that the technology will have an impact on the inventory value. The expected results will be that by implementing RFID technology, the inventory values will be reduced and prove to be beneficial.
