Open Loop and Closed Loop Business Logistics
The Fractal Traceability TM protocol is valid for open and closed loop business logistics environments. Open Loop business logistics refers to the facilitation of linear movement of merchandise through a supply chain. Closed Loop business logistics refers to the facilitation of physical item handling events in a circular-logic workflow environment, such as asset management.
Traceability in discrete and continuous workflow configurations
Fractal Traceability TM primarily favours a discreet workflow pattern. In practice continuous workflow patterns are split into virtual or physical discrete workflow entities that are then subjected to tracking of physical item handling events.
