CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
This part of the paper consists of various related literature and studies about hotel ecommerce, convenience in online reservations, advantages of online accommodations and the efficiency of instant access of information to increase bookings and profitability. It includes articles (both published and unpublished materials), books as well as internet sources.
A. Related Literature
The proponents gathered materials in order to get some ideas and information that will serve as a reference to their study. All these information helped the researcher in solving out the problems and arrived to a proposal of a new system.
1. Foreign Literature
Lamparter (2011) said that today, the first inter-organizational tracking & tracing systems facilitate timely identification and handling of disruptions along the supply chain. However, these systems typically operate at SCM and ERP level and therefore lack knowledge and control over production processes. This paper bridges the gap between logistics and production IT by proposing a novel architecture for coupling the manufacturing operations as defined in IEC 62264 with an EPCIS-compliant real time tracking & tracing system. The system leverages logic-based complex event processing for detecting critical disruptions in the supply chain and initiates rescheduling of production. It is shown that in the presence of unexpected events the rescheduling algorithm minimizes delays and inventory costs while avoiding “nervous schedules” caused by frequent changes. As proof of concept a reference implementation of the architecture is realized within a discrete production line (http://www.studymode.com/essays/Review-Of-Related-Studies-And-Literature-1089397.html).
Zhou (2004) said that Internet marketing can include a variety of tools such as a constant communication with email messages exchange to current or potential customers and informative relevant and eye-catching e-newsletters
