| dc.description.abstract | With the aggravation of global financial storm in recent years, the business environment of enterprise is undergoing a severe challenge. In the pursuit of gross profit and sustainable operation, enterprise’s dependency on suppliers is getting much higher than the past. They began to choose suitable suppliers for partnership strategy instead of low-price strategy with the mode of collaborative design and manufacture, which helps the enterprises to shorten their products development schedule and lower down the material cost. And then to enhance the market competitiveness greatly.
The main purpose of this study aims at exploring the method of supplier management and performance evaluation of low volume but with great variety production models, which can bring out the best possible results from the perspective of economics and factory benefit assessment. But when we take a broad view of market products, only the raw materials and the end hot-sale products (such as mobile phone, tablet, NB laptops, etc.), have the opportunity to do the model of low volume with great variety. With the accelerated development of technology, the production efficiency has been enhancing day after day, meanwhile the production speed and products quality are promoted as well. Many factories are confronted with the faster and shorter production lead time- from one or two days even to few hours. If bidding model, the production quantity is more like the low volume and great variety production model instead of the mass production. Such model requests more flexibility on the logistics that can help enterprise’s sustainable operation and continuous growth. For supply chain, the standard component and modularization production can only simplify the variation of component and procedure. The low volume quantity and great variety production model caused many problems during the stages of production, but most of factories still use the model of supplier performance management of mass production to manage factories activities.
Combining with the bidding and build-to-order production model, the low volume and great variety production model of supply chain management cannot be used either to plan production for capacity allocation or to have the large number of purchase advantages (Buying Power), which all made the difficulties of supply chain management harder than general consumer electronics products factories’. Therefore, it is more important to use the effective management mode to create the higher supplier management performance and value. The following research topics aim at to improve the low volume and great variety production model of supplier performance:
How to carry out the research on assessment of supplier performance
How to study the low volume and great variety model of supplier management
How to research on the low volume and great variety model of supplier management practices How to research on the low volume and great variety model of supplier management practices
This research is based on the structure of supplier management and performance evaluation practices, and put forward the quantitative indicators of supplier performance evaluation for enterprise to design and select performance indicators promptly, accurately and objectively. For the implement process and supplier management operation model as well as the supplier management mechanism construction, this research as the reference, can truly help the related industries and manufacturers to import and construct the supplier management and performance evaluation practices. | en_US |
