Multiple meanings of flexible constraints in supply chain management production planning

The flexibility is actually a kind of consummation to the pledge, the pledge is the enterprise to the partner guarantee. On this basis, the enterprise can have the basic trust, the partner also obtains the relatively stable demand information. However, as the commitments are made in time ahead of the time when the commitments themselves are put into practice, the error is unavoidable, despite the commitment of the parties to make the commitment as close as possible to the reality of the future. Flexibility for the commitment to mitigate this contradiction, so that the promised party may revise the original commitment. It can be seen that commitment and flexibility are the key elements in the contract of supply. &http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp;   Flexibility has multiple implications for production planning. (1) Clearly, it is easy to make plans based solely on the number of commitments. However, the existence of flexibility complicates the process. Flexibility is a mutually developed contract element, for the demand side, it represents the expectation of future changes, and for the supplier, it is the ability to withstand fluctuations in the demand.   In essence, supply contracts use limited predictable demand fluctuations to replace predictable but uncontrollable demand fluctuations. (2) The effect of the flexibility of downstream enterprises on the planned output of enterprises is that the enterprise must choose the most reasonable yield under the known demand fluctuation. The output of an enterprise cannot cover the changing area of the whole demand, otherwise it will cause the inevitable inventory cost.   A standard for determining output when a balance is obtained between inventory and stock costs. (3) Supply chain is interlinked, enterprises in the determination of production planning must also take into account the interests of upstream enterprises. In the supply contract of upstream enterprises, the meaning of upstream enterprises expresses the weighing of their own production capacity in addition to the estimation of the fluctuation of their own ability to bear. It can be considered that the upstream enterprise contract reflects the optimal output relative to the downstream enterprise. Proposed is relative to the downstream enterprises, because upstream enterprises may also provide products for many enterprises.   Therefore, downstream enterprises in the formulation of production plans should try to make the demand and contract commitment to close to help supply enterprises to achieve optimal production.
