Abstract
Changing how and when a supplier delivers a product can transform a
business model (Hoover et al., 2001). Vendor managed inventory (VMI) is
one such mechanism that has been popular in recent literature
(Holmström, 1998; Sabath et al., 2001). Unfortunately, however,
practical examples of how VMI and other collaborative supply chain
configurations can be precisely used to improve production planning and
inventory control in supplier firms
are difficult to find in industry. For example, the scope of standard
solutions for VMI in commercial enterprise resource planning
applications does not include recommendations for linking the
replenishment collaboration to production and inventory control.
