The topic of this paper was born out of the pratical need for improving collaboration also within planning, and it deals with synchronising a) constant improvement of Planning Systems (principles, concepts, processes, structure, software sulutions etc.) of the Supply Chain members (SCPS) and b) limited ability of the SC members (especially if they...

This paper observe multi-period multi-product production planning problem in make-to-stock production environment with limited production capacity. Such problem is identified in Fast Moving Consumer Goods industry. The goal was to develop an algorithm for supporting dynamic production triggering decisions in relation with two supply chain key perfo...

The overall supply chain (SC) for an item from the moment of preparing for production (resource supplying) through production until the moment of product placement on the shelf of retail facilities is accompanied by a great amount of inventories in every “inter-station” — each SC company. The lack of information or/and incomplete information is the...

In this paper, authors present a planning tool for management quality improvement (MQI) in supply chains (SC). This type of tool was implemented in an SME - a water cooler distribution firm La Fantana, Serbia. The main idea of this paper is to use the Key performance indicators (KPI) and Excel-spreadsheets as planning tools for MQI, especially for...

Stock cover refers to the length of time that available inventory will last if forecasted consumption occurs. It is represented by the key performance indicator calculating the number of days of forecasted consumption which the current stock level can face. The identified problem is that production companies in the fast changing environment are fac...

This paper will focus on a make-to-stock multi-period order fulfilment system with random orders from different classes of customers under limited production circumstances. For this purpose a heuristic algorithm has been developed aimed at maximizing the customer service level in any cycle and in the entire multi-period. In this paper, in order to...

Demand-driven replenishment moves organizations away from a dependence on forecasts based on retrospective data and enables them to become responsive to what is actually occurring, or predicted to occur, at the distribution channels. In order to respond rapidly to demand changes, the institution of better information systems to help the channel bet...

p>In the competitive environment, many manufacturers are increasingly focusing on designing the systems that help them to manage variable demand and supply situations. Dynamic allocation of demands is very important in case of customer order allocations. Order promising and allocation can be based on the simple sequence that enables a manufacturing...

Electronic business demands from production companies to be interoperable with business partners. This requires them to integrate their subsystems and collaborate with their business partners. It is difficult to choose an implementation standard among different and competing standards and achieve full integration with business partners. Experience...
