Supply chain logistics, third-party logistics and Other new logistics systems all regard zero-inventory services as an important form of customer service. In order to reduce costs, enterprises also use zero inventory as a cost reduction when they organize their logistics systems. A job to improve the overall level of operations. The resource planning method can achieve zero-inventory planning, but the implementation of zero-inventory must be done outside the effective physical logistics system. Only the planning method is not enough.
There are several ways to implement zero inventory:
First, the custody method
Accepting the user's entrustment, the entrusted party will store the ownership of the belongings belonging to the user, so that the user no longer keeps the inventory, and even can no longer maintain the insurance stock inventory, thus achieving zero inventory.
Second, collaborative subcontracting
That is, the "Sub-Con" method in the United States and the "Sub-Call" method in Japan. It is mainly an industrial structure form of a manufacturing enterprise. This type of structure can be supplied on time with the flexible production of several subcontracting enterprises, so that the supply of the main enterprise is zero; at the same time, the centralized sales of the main enterprise enables a number of subcontracting services and sales. The sales inventory of the company is zero.
In many developed countries, manufacturing companies form a pyramidal structure with a large-scale main enterprise and thousands of small subcontractors. The main enterprise is mainly responsible for the guidance of the assembly and product development market. The subcontracting enterprises are subcontracted labor, subcontracted parts manufacturing, subcontracted supply and subcontracted sales. For example, enterprises that manufacture subcontracted parts can adopt various production forms and inventory adjustment forms to ensure that they are delivered to the main enterprise at the designated time according to the production rate of the main enterprise, so that the main enterprise no longer sets up the first-level inventory. The purpose of zero inventory.
Third, the way of rotation
The wheeling mode is also called the synchronous mode. It is a kind of zero inventory and zero reserve form that completely eliminates the speed of each link under the premise of careful design of the system, thus completely canceling even the temporary stagnation between the stations.
Fourth, just-in-time supply system (JIT)
It is not only a very difficult system engineering between production stations or between supply and production, but also requires a lot of investment. At the same time, some industries are not suitable for rotation. the way. Therefore, a more punctual approach that is more flexible and easier to implement than the wheeling method is widely used. The punctual approach does not rely on a wheeled system similar to a conveyor belt, but relies on effective articulation and planning to achieve coordination between stations, supply and production, thereby achieving zero inventory.
