| dc.description.abstract | Seeing the current global welding consumable market through a scope, one will find that uprising countries forced the market to face a fierce competition and turned it into a low price war. In order to tackle this adversity, the immediate improvement regarding the efficiency of the supply-chain operation management becomes the top priority. The welding consumable manufacturers in Taiwan and China not only have to answer the ever increasing higher quality standard from the market, but also have to face international competition from Europe, US, and Japan, whom still have superior technical advantages. Thus a well maintained cooperation between supply chain and manufacturers could become the core of a competitive corporation.
SCOR (Supply-Chain Operations Reference model) is an example model created and supported by the International Supply-Chain Council, suitable for varies industrial field. Not only is SCOR a standard model with all the supply-chain procedures, it also provides diagnosis regarding different fields and under different circumstances. As an industry standard, SCOR focuses on internal corporation supply-chain, and can be used to describe, measure, and comment each setup in details.
The goal of this research is to focus on building a specific model for the welding consumable supply-chain management using the SCOR base model. The expected results of this model would reach is as follows:
1. Analyze the supply-chain activity of this industry.
2. Confirm the re-structure and improving methods of the supply-chain.
3. Digitalize the performance of the operation with graphical charts and set goals.
4. Finalize the best management system of the supply-chain, and try to implement it into the ERP system.
Under many different circumstances, changing the management procedure can improve the efficiency of a corporation. Improving the efficiency of the supply-chain management system within a corporation should always be a constant goal throughout. During the process, a corporation can start a new relationship and partnership with the suppliers and customers called the “Extended Enterprise.”At last,I also hope this research can provide as reference documentation for the welding consumable field.
