MONITORING MECHANISM OF SUPPLY COORDINATION IN ASSEMBLY SYSTEM UNDER UNCERTAIN DELIVERY

According to the above definition of different monitoring modes, different grades of monitoring modes can be adopted to different importance of materials in the manufacturer’s bill of material. And which mode to adopt is determined by the importance of suppliers’ components. Therefore, suppliers that participate in collaborative supply need to be classified and managed.

Supplier Classification under Uncertain Delivery

In order to coordinate assembly system under uncertain delivery, the manufacturer is required to classify and manage the suppliers. Not all suppliers that participate in supply coordination will have the phenomenon of supply uncertainty, which includes uncertainty of delivery quantity, uncertainty of delivery time and uncertainty of suppliers’ inventory. In the supply process of components ordered by the manufacturer, the suppliers who have supply uncertainty are few. Therefore, the manufacturer can reduce and even eliminate the supply uncertainty phenomenon of few suppliers by the classified management, which can reduce assembly system’s losses caused by supply non-coordination.

From the aspect of manufacturer, suppliers who participate in supply coordination can be two-dimensionally divided into four quadrants according to the importance of supplier to purchaser and the importance of purchaser to supplier, see Figure 5.
