Question

What are the implications of different time zones for global supply chain management systems?

Countries can adopt either a country-of-origin law or a country-of-destination law. What is the difference between the two approaches? Which is more helpful to consumers and which is more helpful to e-tailers? Explain

Answer 1

In the global supply chain of e-traitors, there are different time zones of two countries and hence unable to decide that on which date and time the product was ordered or the payment done. So, to manage this problem there is a solution. This comes with the timestamp at the time of order or payment at both of the locations.

The comparison can be done in the background and the time-stamp of a country will help in this case to decide the time and date. The most suitable scenario for a company is to deliver a product to a customer and tracking is to be done according to the destination.

Therefore, country-of-destination law is more helpful than the country-of-origin while looking at the perspective of the customer. And for e-traitors, the origin approach is more beneficial because, in this approach, the company will get the order and payment according to their time and date and will be settled for them. For further proceedings, the company will start their work at that time.
