Abstract
ABSTRACT Nowadays, in the competitive electronic industry, most large- and middle-sized manufacturing companies in Taiwan operate in the business models of OEM and ODM commissioned by the international electronic giants. Both cost-effectivness and on-time delivery have no doubt become the vital competitiveness in the face of the all-time intensively competitive electronic market regarding the customers and the corporate themselves. Therefore, vendor inventory management aims to reinforce cost-control, scrap the unnecessary stockpile and prevent the material shortage and product line suspense. The aim of this research is to theoretically and practically explore a variety of the operational models and the differences between them in terms of vendor inventory management. In particular, the mechanical inventory management, which is relatively little-mentioned in the present researches, will be studied and concluded here at the same time. The case studies are available in the research in line with the models analysis of vendor inventory management and the selection of tailored suppliers. Thereby, the vendor inventory management can be well completed and exercised.
