Businesses are getting more and more competitive, causing the majority of the companies today strive to eliminate the surplus cost of inventory in order to boost their cash flow. Therefore, companies purchase lower quantities of a greater variety of products to increase product diversity. This trend is a benefit to the buyers/customers, but it also creates the opposite effect to the manufacturers. To achieve the balance between customers’ buying criteria and suppliers’ minimum quantity requirements and how to keep the cost of production as unexpansive as possible has become an issue.
This research selects an automobile parts manufacturer to be the case company, and is supported by the literature review and case study to reach the logical conclusion. In addition, it adopts Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering to collect numerous products of the case company from their bill of material, and place them into different subgroup based on the analysis of their historical data. The research is to develop the solution for case company to manage their future production planning to meet customers’ needs and establish their purchase negotiation strategy with the suppliers; meanwhile, the study can hopefully be valuable for other businesses that are encountering similar situation.
