缩短交货期使公司能够更快地对需求信息做出反应，从而更好地将供应与不确定的需求相匹配。但这只是提高反应能力的一个杠杆。管理人员熟悉其他人（例如，产能过剩、供应商选择等），但缺乏技术来量化调整这些杠杆的影响。在这里，我们列举了一些这些杠杆，并提出了一个模型，使它们可以结合成有效的响应能力。调整这些杠杆的影响是通过从这样做的滑雪服制造商获得的数据来说明的。由此产生的一些见解与直觉背道而驰。
Reducing lead time enables a company to react more quickly to demand information and, hence, to better match supply with uncertain demand. But it is only one lever for improving response capability. Managers are familiar with others (e.g., excess capacity, supplier choice, and so forth) but lack techniques to quantify the impact of adjusting these levers. Here, we enumerate a number of these levers and present a model whereby they might be combined into effective response capability. The impact of adjusting these levers is illustrated by data obtained from a skiwear manufacturer that did so. Some of the insights that resulted run counter to intuition.
