The Effect of Vmi on Supplier’s Profit with Multiple-retailers
نویسنده
چکیده
VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) system is known as an effective mechanism to reduce the bullwhip effect between suppliers and buyers, by switching the responsibility of inventory management from buyers to suppliers. Although most attempts of VMI implementation have been successful, there were some failure cases such as in South Korea. VMI system was beneficial only to the buyer and hurt the long-run relationship in the supply chain. This paper discusses the possible factors to result in the unsatisfactory VMI implementation.
