Research On The Implementation Of VMI In SAP Company

With the constant IT progress and economy globalization, the market has made its new demands from upper and lower organizations. Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) in manufacturing industries, companies began to combine VMI and JIT(Just In Time), using VMI as a replenishment policy under JIT manufacturing.According to the five years of working practices in SAP and understanding of the actual data of SAP, and combine cutting-edge theoretical research, the paper explores the implementation of SAP’s VMI program. First, this paper analyses the general overview of the VMI studies. On this basis, for the definition of VMI, conceptual frameworks, classification, type of material suitable for import, benefits and risks and other theories do literature review for the subsequent in-depth study to build a good foreshadowing. In the third and fourth chapter, combined with the actual situation of SAP AG, SAP, under the conditions established JIT VMI model, design specific embodiments of SAP’s VMI, and VMI implementation of SAP’s problems you might encounter gives solutions. This achievement has a forward-looking program itself for SAP company that is an innovation. Admittedly, VMI embodiments inevitably be improved and developed, where they need to be further verified in practice, but also need to be further demonstrated in theory, but also to continue to the next step of the study.The paper combines SAP’s actually the proposed model and the implementation of VMI program, the industry practice and further theoretical study and learn with a reference value, which is the thesis Institute expectations. I believe that as time continues, VMI will be refined and further developed.
