? 尋求以低成本作出更快反應的物流方案。訂貨周期時間也可能僅僅是信息冰山上可視的一角。而單純通過優(yōu)化個別要素或過程中個別活動只能得到一個次優(yōu)化的結果。 其實作為供應商真正需要的是:在必要的時候用快速反應來代替大量的庫存。 ? Looks at how the reduction of lead times can impact on the goals of logistics pipeline management. ? 研究縮短前置時間是如何影響物流渠道管理目標的。 ? Outlines some of the ways in which inadequate systems design can lengthen lead times and engineer cost rather than value into the logistics process. ? 概括了一些不恰當?shù)南到y(tǒng)設計方法,它們延長了前置時間,并增加了設計成本,卻對物流過程的增值貢獻不大。 Question 2 How to achieve responsiveness? Why? Responsiveness essentially is achieved through time pression in the supply chain. Time pression Service enhancement Cost reduction 壓縮時間 完善服務 縮減成本 Breaking free of the classic service/cost tradeoff 打破傳統(tǒng)的服務、成本權衡關系 market making reliance on forecasts dangerous Question ? What’ s the continuing problem for most anizations according to text? ? What’ s the root cause of these problems? 由于市場多變,過于依賴預測很危險 ? A continuing problem for most anizations is the inaccuracy of forecast. ? Whilst many forecasting errors are the result of inappropriate forecasting methodology the root cause of these problems is that forecast error increases as led time increases. time + Forecast error Forecast error and planning horizons 預測誤差和計劃水平 concept of lead time Question What’ s the meaning of lead time from the customer’ s viewpoint and from the supplier’ s perspective respectively? From the customers’ viewpoint The elapsed time from order to delivery. From the suppliers’ viewpoint The time it takes to convert an order Into cash. 從發(fā)出訂單到收到貨物的這段時間。 ( 1) reducing logistics lead time Question 4 What’ s OPT? what’ s its essence? ? A significant contribution to the way we view logistics processes has been made by Goldratt who has developed the theory of constraints(約束理論 ) which is more usually known as Optimized Production Technology (生產(chǎn)技術優(yōu)化理論)(OPT). ? The essence of OPT is that all activities in a logistics chain can be categorized as either ‘ bottlenecks39。 The area below the surface of the iceberg represents the ongoing consumption, demand or usage of the product which is hidden from the view of the supplier. It is only when an order is issued that demand bees transparent. 海平面以下的部分代表著未來的消費、需求或者使用產(chǎn)品的信息,而這些統(tǒng)統(tǒng)是在供應商的視野之外的。 ? 壓縮供應鏈時間對快速反應和縮減供應鏈成本具有很大潛力。 ? Leadtime reduction has bee focal point. ? 快速反應能力是至關重要的。 Question 2 ? What’ s the key concern of logistics management? ? How to achieve it? ? A key concern of logistics management should be to seek to identify ways in which the demand peration point can be pushed as far as possible upstream. ? This might be achieved by the use of information so that manufacturing and purchasing get to hear of what is happening in the marketplace faster than they currently do. ? The other route to achieving an upstream shift of the order peration point is by postponing the final mitment of the product to its final form.
