Abstract
Egypt is one of the countries mostly faced with the problem of China’s fake spare parts used in replacing original components. The spare parts components trade is close to 2.7 billion LE out of 9.3 billion LE, that is, the volume of imported spare parts in Egypt, as announced by the official speaker of the Ministry of Trade and Industry in Egypt. Hence, it can be seen that China’s components adulteration problem is threatening nationally and internationally; and it is easier due to the great expansion of supply chains. Therefore, this paper aims to deliver the original parts to customers via three-bin-system (Kanban) by using e-kanban in creating e-pedigree kanban. Many aspects are discussed to control the transportation system with minimum costs. These include e-Pedigree, Databases, RFID, 2D barcodes, multi-agent systems, and the integration of these tools to develop a system to secure the importing spare parts via VSM (Value Stream Map). This paper proposed E-PKS (Electronic Pedigree Kanban System) for track and traces any products' logistic via using tracking procedures supported by image code technique. The E-PKS are joints of VSM and consist of two phases: the first control the VSM in different agents and the second phase focuses on the development of the 2D BC of the product to guarantee right channel to customers by using the proposed image code technique. Key words: China items adulteration, supply chain, multi-agent systems, E-Kanban, e-pedigree.
Highlights
The spread of counterfeit goods has become global in recent years and the range of goods subjected to infringement has increased significantly
In November 2009, the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) updated these estimates, concluding that the share of counterfeit and illegitimate goods in world trade had increased from 1.85% in 2000 to 1.95% in 2013
This paper explores how to track and trace expressive data, which originates from reading unique and creative serial number for each product at different locations in a supply chain to detect suspicious movements of products
Summary
The spread of counterfeit goods (commonly called “knockoffs”) has become global in recent years and the range of goods subjected to infringement has increased significantly. The paper focuses on creating a link between supplier and customer through a secure and closed system, along a VSM, where the customer is satisfied by receiving the original product through the scratched warranty card, which illustrates the anonymous value (x1,x2,x3,x4...). These values must be the same as in the serial number barcode of the product and have real equality in the product. The combination of supply chain process definitions with an advanced infrastructure in terms of multi-agent systems has the potential to make possible a real strategic competitive advantage for the entire VSM and will enable new forms of business and work.
