Abstract

In this paper, we develop an analytical model for form postponement in global supply chain subject to variations in international transfers and tariffs, in service levels and in deviation from a supply delivery schedule that falls within a window. We examine the benefits of postponement under the influence of these factors, and we derive the necessary conditions for a strategic choice of both the 'postponement timing', (early or delayed differentiation) and the 'decoupling points', (early or late shipping) under decoupled and non-decoupled systems. The study shows when one type of the strategies is more beneficial than the other. Our analysis indicates that the boundaries of a delivery window, the point of differentiation, the point of export, the safety factor, and the relative production cost differences across countries play an important role under postponement. We use the production of Desk Jet printers at Hewlett Packard to illustrate the applicability of this model.

全球供应链的延期与国际转移

在本文中，我们开发了一个分析模型，用于分析全球供应链中受国际转移和关税、服务水平以及偏离供应交付时间表等因素影响的表单延迟。在这些因素的影响下，我们研究了延迟的好处，并推导出了在解耦和非解耦系统下，“延迟时间”(早期或延迟分化)和“解耦点”(早期或延迟发货)的战略选择的必要条件。研究表明，当一种策略比另一种策略更有益时。我们的分析表明，交货窗口的边界、差异化点、出口点、安全系数和各国之间的相对生产成本差异在延迟下发挥了重要作用。我们以惠普的Desk Jet打印机的生产为例来说明这种模型的适用性。
