The screw nut (Fasteners) is known as the ¡§Rice of Industry¡¨. It is mainly applied on durable products such as automobile, electric apparatus, machinery, construction and building. Most of the durable products belong to the global products except the construction and building, which belong to regional. Due to the global competition, the competitions among the systems and supply chains have been formed. The improvement of the individual enterprise is not able to rely on the resource and ability of that organization only. It should operate across the border of the enterprises, and operate cooperatively with the downstream clients of the supply chains and the upstream manufacturers in order to improve the global competitiveness of the supply chain and seek for further development. Nowadays, the Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is the core of the trend of supply chain management (SCM) of global Fasteners industry. Taiwan is known as the empire of screw nut and it is not possible to neglect the operation trend of the global Fasteners market.
This study attempts utilizing the characteristics of the System Dynamics, for which it is excellent on studying dynamic complicated system, to analyze the operation mechanism and structure of the Fasteners supply chain under VMI mode and applying synchronized mode. The individual dynamic model will be established to simulate the overall operation of the supply chain and compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two models. In addition, according to the major operation conditions and the demanding types, the model established by this study is utilized to develop the decision-making support tool for implementation of VMI mode of Fasteners industry.
The conclusion of this study include (1) adding the synchronized model to Fasteners supply chain VMI mode can improve the operation performance of the enterprise, (2) to establish the design principle and steps of adding the design of synchronization to VMI mode.
There are two contributions in this study: (1) the collocation of adding synchronization to the VMI mode model has proved that the combination with the synchronization mode can improve the performance of VMI mode. (2) The design principle and steps of adding the design of synchronization to VMI mode can be the reference for design steps of adding synchronization mode to the industry that implements VMI operation mode.
