Abstract
In order to respond rapidly to global demand fluctuation at low cost, we challenge to develop the global supply chain management. In this paper, we present the multi-echelon parts allocation technology to support inventory control and meet demand fluctuation. This technology consists of two methods: in the planning phase, the safety stock level is simulated under the several demand fluctuation scenarios by using the inventory allocation method; in the execution phase, the supply allocation is calculated by using the mathematical optimization method・We applied this technology to supply chain evaluation and parts allocation in case of tight supply. In the result, our system contributes to reduce the global inventory and improve the order fill rate.
