Case 1.2: Supply Chain Management A global consumer-electronics firm wants to automate its existing fulfillment process using ERP, APS, and the Internet. Currently, its regional offices around the globe group, orders from customers, typically consumer electronics chains, in their regions once a week for 26 weeks of a rolling horizon. They then send the grouped orders to the headquarters. The headquarters assign current and planned inventory to these orders and then spends them directly from warehouses at the plant locations to customer warehouses around the globe. In the future, customers may order from headquarters directly, and external suppliers may fill orders. For the first four weeks of the planning horizon, the orders are firm, while later orders may change in time and therefore serve as forecasts. The headquarters, regional offices (or customers), and plants (or suppliers) can use the Internet, ERP, and APS systems (as shown in Fig. 1.5) as follows, while maintaining the existing fulfillment process, with all steps except (f) and (9) to be run once a week in the following sequence:EN English Shipment order Current inventory status Current inventory Forecasted demand (1 326 Customers (regional Suppliers (plants) orders '8 \"u: = A: E B 'E 3 i :a E \\'x u.

If this firm were to join an electronic marketplace, it might have to radically change and use OR to make improvements even before joining such a marketplace. Suggest the kind of improvement it should adopt in order to make the process more responsive to changes in demand. 2. The firm could make the supply chain even more responsive if it allowed changes to the suppliers' replenishment schedule within the first 12 weeks. Then, it could tie the suppliers' production scheduling system(s) to its APS system. This would let a customer enter a tentative order through the Web to get an immediate response as to whether or not the firm could fill the order by the specified date. Suggest the method which could provide this functionality in the present context
