Abstract

SCM activities in a company are total activities for efficient integration and cooperation related to production and distribution to satisfy total optimization of the supply chain and customer satisfaction as well. Also, considering it as innovation activities for the survival companies, reducing inventory level and its costs are managed as the key indexes for SCM performance. Recently, the importance of SCM activities in the component suppliers which advanced overseas together with its client company has been emphasized by the request of the product manufacturer due to rapid international expansion of the enterprise resources. Especially, in the electronics industry, the value of product inventory and component inventory is falling sharply because of their short product life cycle and the frequent new model launch. And the part costs due to price negotiation with a product manufacturer also influences the component suppliers’ business. However, the study on the SCM performance and the inventory costs in the component suppliers are insufficient and the definite estimation criteria are also uncertain. In this research, we defined new estimation criteria of the component total inventory cost from the component supplier’s view, considering the supply chain characteristics in electronics industry. In addition, we performed the case study to verify the component total inventory cost’s influence on the business performance by applying the new criteria to four component suppliers that supply key component to global product manufacturer. Consequently, we suggested new estimation criteria on the total inventory costs of the supply chain of the electronics industry related to the product total inventory cost of the product manufacturer defined in the previous study.
