| Summary: | 碩士 === 元智大學 === 資訊管理學系 === 95 === Because of the globalization, enterprises are planning an global logistic for its worldwide business, this circumstance also effects the Printing Circuit Board Industry (PCB). Printing circuit board industry is a customize business, and come out with numerous variety and short life cycles. The major competition behind the PCB industry is the supply chain management. In order to avoid bullwhip effect that caused by the uncertainty of supply and demand, inventory control is the key factor to business toward success. China government executes the Foreign Capital Policy to create a better investment environment, and quickly copy the successful experiences from Taiwan PCB industries. In less then decade, Taiwan PCB companies already face rigorous competition in China’s market. However, under the complexities of global planning and management situations, the pattern of inventory management has changed within PCB industry. Management of finished products and materiel is switching form traditional inventory management to vendor-managed inventory (VMI). Since economic development in Greater China area is becoming more and more important, this research is focused on the different VMI management at cross Strait Tri-Regional.
From the case study, we discovered that industries’ clustered effect did influence the transportation distances and how industries chose its own VMI mode. Under the consideration of human resources and inventory costs, the implementation of VMI mode is vary between Taiwan, mainland China, and Hong Kong. Company usually implements the own technology system in Taiwan, and transplants the experience to China’s subsidiary. This way can not only save the set up time for China’s subsidiary, but also can decrease the risk, and recover the cost for PCB companies.
