EFFICIENT HANDOVER OF INFORMATION IN SUPPLY CHAINS

Abstract: Absract: Information logistics is a question about moving information between different individuals or systems to that place in time and space where a demand for the information arise. It is utilized trough different sources of bearer that is distributed trough different channels in an optimal way. How to make it without distorting the information in the interface between different participants? This report is exactly about that. The report has resulted in the Information Quality Model (IQM) and the Information Quality Process (IQP). IQM is a model for evaluation of information that explains which characteristics that affects the efficiency of information. IQM is built on Aspects - Characteristics – Questions. If we for example have right information and we can deliver to right place in right time but with a poor layout the efficiency still can be low. This leads to that we can state that all the stated aspects with its belonging characteristics must be paid attention to get a good quality in the in the interfaces. IQP Is a process showing how to handle and build up processes for collecting and processing of information with a method that will secure the quality. The method is built on an analyze phase where frames are created first for what should be collected and how it should be done and an executing phase where information is filled in, in accordance to to the rules that was set up in the analyze phase. IQM and IQP form a solution that together illuminates the whole process of the information delivery in a unique way. The research method is mainly based on cases built on the authors empirical experiences.
