Research On Application Of VMI In Supply Chain Environment

Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)，is an integrated supply chain managementidea，supply chain management theory and practice developed to a certain stage of theproduct。With the rapid globalization of the economy and with the rapid developmentinformation technology，supply chain relationship between enterprises more closely，especially inventory moves increasingly become a focus of downstream enterprises ofcommon concern。A more prominent phenomenon：the more in-depth supply chainoperation，the closer cooperation between enterprises，higher inventory relevance。Against this background，the supply chain upstream and downstream enterprises tofind a reasonable and efficient method to handle inventory relationship has become anew topic of supply chain development process practical and theoretical faced。In the1980s，Wal-Mart and Procter&Gamble cooperation，the first exploration by thesupplie（rProcter&Gamble)alternative retailer（sWal-Mart）in order to determine thespecies and time of procurement，inventory control，such as the implementation of aseries of work，greatly enhancing the two inventory efficiency between enterprises，and this is after the VMI model。VMI to solve the problem through traditionalinventory process reengineering。 VMI implementation can effectively reduceinventory levels，improve satisfaction with the ability to respond to market andcustomer。 VMI mode changes the traditional supply chain node enterprisesfragmented inventory management model，the re-integration of enterprise resources，cost savings，improve efficiency，effectively solve the traditional supply chaininventory problems of environment，supply chain development process become of afar-reaching event，supply chain management is currently subject to a wide range ofnew ideas and attention to inventory control methods。Currently，vendor managed inventory in many domestic and some mature supplychain implementation，resulting in a good economic benefits。Our manufacturing bothin circulation and VMI practical activities（for example：the tobacco industry，retail，automobile manufacturing，etc。）。 Because VMI from there to form a relativelycomplete working system，to be business applications，this process is shorter，fasterdevelopment，and therefore its basic mode，processes，inter-enterprise inventorycondominium brought a series of benefits relationship，and did not find a stabletreatment；the other hand,changes in the method of operation，etc。Since the hardwareand access to a change in the stock，resulting in a series of relationship does not existoriginally，including investment issues，cost，standardization issues information reunification issues， how to deal with these new relationships， has not beencompletely resolved really。Many in the implementation of VMI supply chain processwhile also processing applications while the exploratory stage，some understanding ofthe basic theoretical issues is not enough thorough case focused on theimplementation of the basic theory in most cases。Therefore， the VMI-depthinvestigation and study，straighten association（not a financial affiliates）various issuesarising in inventory enterprise nodes in theory and in practice，not only has importantpractical significance，but there are important theoretical significance。In practice，the subject of the participating companies，the practical problemsencountered VMI，and at work，are more deeply involved in the supply chain，manufacturers and logistics service providers to establish a VMI system，combinedwith his years of learning and experience，the author of this thesis。Paper first describes the background and significance of this proposed vendormanaged inventory supply chain management case study abroad environment；Secondly，it introduces the basic concepts and differences between VMI and its linkswith traditional inventory theory，etc。，the theoretical analysis of the VMI thetheoretical basis for generating and implementing motivation；once again，for the nextthree VMI mode node enterprise association patterns were studied，discussed thedifficulties associated companies under VMI platform to deal with the problem node，and then learn to use Guiyang cigarette vendor supply chain management inventorycase，analysis of domestic enterprises to implement countermeasures VMI model，theresearch application methods VMI model using a combination of theory and examplesof methods；Finally，a summary and point out the inadequacies of the thesis andrelated issues raised in this article further research direction in the future。In thispaper，I hope to be able to deepen the understanding of VMI study theoretically andhope for the practical application of these studies can be able to help provide somepractical advice for the use of vendor-managed inventory model。...
