INTERORGANIZATIONAL TIME‐BASED POSTPONEMENT IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN
基于两家制造商、一家分销商和一家零售商的数据，研究发现企业层面实施延迟策略可能导致供应链整体库存增加，只有跨组织协调才能发挥其全部潜力。
This paper presents the results of empirical research on the use of time‐based postponement in a supply chain context using data collected from two manufacturers, a distributor, and a retailer. The analysis shows that implementing postponement at the firm level can result in the supply chain carrying more inventory. In order to achieve its full potential, postponement needs to be implemented across organizations in the supply chain.
