Three-dimensional QCD framework of supply chain

This study focuses on the supply chain actors’ QCD framework. The authors present an innovative tool that illustrates the operating system of different actors in the supply chain by combining virtual and physical reality. The study aims to present and “visualize” the QCD coherence system with the help of the PaTeNt© – QCD spatial model. The study, therefore, focuses on the supplier, the central company; the relationship between the supply chain actors and the QCD framework, which is suitable for the agile, proactive collaboration. The parts of the model, which is the result of the development: the elements of quality, the elements of cost, the elements of delivery. The development of the model was brought to life by the tasks which need to be solved and this model helps the understanding and transparency during the work.
