Week six’s topic is The Role of Technology and the Web on
Global Supply Chains and I read an article “Technology for A Smarter Food
Supply Chain” by Diane Palmquist. It was actually an interesting read because
of the correlation between food supply chain and technology. With the changing
nature of technology, it is now part of everyday life.
The article goes to explore how customers now prefer online
shopping versus going into the actual store. Fresh Direct, an online grocery
store has used web technology to
communicate with their customers, suppliers and distributors. A customer
can place an order online for fresh
produce and whatever grocery item they desire, and it will be delivered in two
days. This optimizes inventory through numerous sales channels. While I have
never ordered food over the internet, would you?
