摘要
A product supply chain may be viewed not just as a series of discrete, unrelated shipment transactions, but as a “process” (or pipeline) that can be subject to statistical process control. The present invention is directed to novel systems and methods for collecting data concerning one or more aspects of a supply chain, for performing statistical analysis on the collected data to facilitate the identification of anomalies or inefficiencies in the process, and for communicating the results of such statistical analysis to those responsible for the supply chain so that remedial measures may be taken, if appropriate. Among other things, a method for performing statistical analysis on at least one monitored aspect of a product supply chain is disclosed that involves storing, in memory accessible to at least one processor, first data reflecting at least one first determined value of at least one monitored aspect of a first shipment of at least one first item occurring in the supply chain, and storing, in memory accessible to the at least one processor, second data reflecting at least one second determined value of at least one monitored aspect of a second shipment of at least one second item occurring in the supply chain. The at least one processor is used to automatically generate at least one report reflecting a statistical analysis of the first data and the second data.
