碩士 === 淡江大學 === 資訊管理學系 === 88 === Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) is one of the most widely discussed initiatives for improving multi-firm supply chain efficiency. But due to the lack of trust between partners, information sharing is still at a fledging stage. This caused many problems in the real world. In order to understand various existing problems on how to implement VMI system in the supply chain and how to efficiently utilize IT for VMI to increase profitability and competitive strength, the study used open-end questionnaires to gather the qualitative information from many field professionals. The results provide managers a clear picture of how to manage VMI system, give advice on how to reasonably utilize IT for VMI, advise managers how to evaluate VMI performance or give warning for making correction for possible failures.
