Inventory Turnover is the traditional metric for judging the effectiveness of a supply chain. C2C (Cash-to-Cash) is quickly supplementing, and some experts say, replacing Inventory Turnover as the major supply chain metric. Why do you think that there is now an emphasis on C2C? Discuss some companies that excel in C2C and tell us how they do that. (Be sure to give credit to your research sources so that we can learn from your research.) There is no section in our textbook on C2C, so this question will require your research on the subject. There is, however, much information in our textbook concerning inventory turnover, so please review it carefully.

The bar code is an important tool for inventory managers. It uniquely identifies an inventory item, making cycle counting, work-in-process inventory management and sales inventory management more efficient. Bar codes will be replaced by a new way of identifying items: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Do some exploratory research of RFID on the Internet and then use your knowledge to state your opinion on the question shown in the discussion topic's title. Many business groups have stated that there is no need for privacy regulations in the area of RFID. Do you agree? Why or why not?
RFID devices are microchips with antennas embedded in items (finished products and also sub-assemblies) that transmit information about the item. A scanner can pick up this information from as far as 750 centimeters or 25 feet away. These devices do not disable themselves after the item leaves the factory or even the outlet where it was purchased.
