Abstract
Focusing on SCM system design, this study clarifies how the differences in the production systems and the purposes of the SCM relate to the necessary management elements for the realization of SCM. Although this might been discussed, the numerical analysis has not been reported enough. The purpose of this study is as follows. By the survey results for Japanese companies in China, a model is proposed. The model is a multi-stage structure model which shows the relations between management elements for designing SCM system. In this first report, in particular, a method of the modeling is proposed. The analysis results will be reported after the survey is completed in a couple of month.
