? 為什么延遲能有幫助? –產(chǎn)品多樣性大部分只是微小的變化 ?延遲是可能的 –需求預(yù)測(cè)隨風(fēng)險(xiǎn)共享而變得精確了 ?延遲減少庫(kù)存水平 –通用產(chǎn)品可用風(fēng)險(xiǎn)共擔(dān)來(lái)預(yù)測(cè) –具體衍生產(chǎn)品可到最后生成以滿足需求 實(shí)施延遲差異 ? 1. 重新排序 ? 對(duì)產(chǎn)品生產(chǎn)步驟進(jìn)行修改 , 使對(duì)具體物品或產(chǎn)品進(jìn)行差異化的生產(chǎn)步驟盡可能地往后延遲 . ? ? 案例 : 本尼頓公司用重新排序改善供應(yīng)鏈運(yùn)營(yíng) . Beton Background ? A world leader in knitwear ? Massive volume, many stores ? Logistics – Large, flexible production work – Many independent subcontractors – Subcontractors responsible for product movement ? Retailers – Many, small stores with limited storage Beton Supply Cycle ? Primary collection in stores in January – Final designs in March of previous year – Store owners place firm orders through July – Production starts in July based on first 10% of orders – August December stores adjust orders (colors) – 80%90% of items in store for January sales ? Mini collection based on customer requests designed in January for Spring sales ? To refill hot selling items – Late orders as items sell out – Delivery promised in less than five weeks Beton Old Manufacturing Process Spin or Purchase Yarn Dye Yarn Finish Yarn Manufacture Garment Parts Join Parts Beton New Manufacturing Process Spin or Purchase Yarn Manufacture Garment Parts Join Parts Dye Garment Finish Garment This step is postponed Beton Postponement ? Why the change? – The change enables Beton to start manufacturing before color choices are made ? What does the change result in? – Delayed forecasts of specific colors – Still use aggregate forecasts to start manufacturing early – React to customer demand and suggestions ? Issues with postponement – Costs are 10% higher for manufacturing – New processes had to be developed – New equipment had to be purchased 2. 通用化和模塊化 ? Modular Product:(模塊化產(chǎn)品) – Can be made by appropriately bining the different modules – It entails providing customers a number of options for each module ? Modular Process: (模塊化流程) – 由一系列離散的具體操作所組成的生產(chǎn)流程。D Support ? DC Support –“Not our core petency” ? New packaging ?
