Build, Market-based Agile Supply Chain

Supply Chain was brought forward more than ten years ago and today it is used extensively in the word especially in developed countries. Many Scholars and enterprisers regard global purchase as the best way to bring Supply Chain Management into effect in economy integration. And we know that members in the Supply Chain can be from all over the world for the sake of Global purchase. So we call it Global Supply Chain. But is it true that this Global Supply Chain is the most available model? Can this model react to changeful and complicate consumer demand flexibly? If not, is there any other model to realize this effective reaction? How can we set up this model?This thesis mainly answers the above four questions and tries to seek for a perfect Supply Chain Management model to react to the changeful and complicate consumer demand. Firstly, it introduces basic theory about Supply Chain and the advantages and disadvantages of global purchase in economy. Secondly, it tells us how global purchase affects The Bullwhip Effect and proves this effect by means of mathematic means.The writer asserts Agile Supply Chain is effective model to react to outer environment. Different from the other Supply Chain, Agile Supply Chain can be rebuilt according to visual alliance and can be adjust according to recombination. Because logistics and message technique have been developed greatly, we must accept that Global Supply Chain has its advantage in many aspects. Furthermore, we can give some successful examples about Global Agile Supply Chain. But we can not think it is certainly the most effective Supply Chain Management model. Sometimes, Regional Agile Supply Chain can be more effective than it. Whether a company uses Agile Supply Chain or not lies in its strategy and product traits and so on.At last, the thesis argues the premise of Agile Supply Chai^ how to set up and carry out Agile Supply Chain and what must be pay attention to.
