目的——在大多数国家，新车的分销系统多年来一直保持不变，主要重点是通过经销商的库存向客户供货。尽管库存很高，但供应链的表现未能满足客户在可接受的时间范围内提供所需的确切规格的期望。本文研究了供应链设计的变化，这些变化可能会显着提高性能。设计/方法/方法——对新车供应的模拟，从订购到组装厂和成品车库存到客户交付，已被用来进一步了解供应链的动态性能。通过对英国汽车市场的研究得出的场景演示了模拟模型的应用。研究结果 – 研究结果证明了中央库存（将新车存储在配送中心，而不是经销商）对于制造商和经销商的好处。
Purpose – In most countries the distribution system for new cars has remained unchanged for many years, with the main emphasis on supplying customers from stock held at dealers. Despite high stocks, the performance of the supply chain has failed to meet customer expectations in terms of delivering the exact specification desired within an acceptable timescale. This paper investigates changes to the design of the supply chain which potentially offer significant improvements in performance.Design/methodology/approach – A simulation of the supply of new cars, from ordering through the assembly plant and finished vehicle stocking to customer delivery, has been used to develop further understanding of the dynamic performance of the supply chain. The application of the simulation model is demonstrated through scenarios drawn from research into the UK car market.Findings – The findings demonstrate the benefits of central stocking (storing new cars in distribution centres, rather than at dealers) for both manufac...
