Using Supply Chain Management Approach for Message Forwarding for Internet of Things (IoT)

Kevin Ashton, an expert in RFID in 1999, first used the word “the Internet of Things (IoT)”. As per the terms of technology, IoT is an environment that people understand in many different ways, depending and based on their requirement, point of view and purpose. This paper discusses the supply chains and its possible applications for job scheduling in the IoT framework. The supply chain management (SCM) is a means of providing facilities for delivery of services with the purpose of transporting materials for distribution to end of the chain or customers. SCM has the property of delivery tracking at every time while using the best possible path which augurs well with IoT resembling the dynamic route conditions. The study is further encouraged by the fact with  Radio Frequency for Identification (RFID) being the assistive tracking technology for both SCM and IoT.
