A few measures for ensuring supply chain quality

A major tenet of quality co-ordination and assurance in global supply chains is to ensure continuous quality improvement through strategic planning, tactical employment and operational tools. This study intends to provide a retrospective synopsis on supply chain quality co-ordination, technology application, supply chain risk management and reliability control to promote further exploitation on the quality co-ordination research in supply chains. We found that supply chain co-ordination, technology application, risk management, and reliability assurance are a few important measures for continuous supply chain quality improvement.
