Abstract :
Jabil is well known as a model of workcell production. In the past few years, Jabil (Guangzhou) starts to apply the workcell production principles in managing a supply chain, resulting in better control on the demand and supply uncertainty among multiple supply chain partners. Here a new supply chain management mode-Workcell-based Supply Chain Management (WSCM) is proposed. The WSCM is customer-centered, coordinates the relationships of supply chain participants in a U-shape topology, and is able to effectively control and reduce the occurrence and transfer of demand uncertainty in supply chain management.
