Performance impacts of ordering and production control policies in the presence of capacity disruptions are studied on the real-life example of a retail supply chain with product perishability considerations. Constraints on product perishability typically result in reductions in safety stock and increases in transportation frequency. Consideration of the production capacity disruption risks may lead to safety stock increases. This trade-off is approached with the help of a simulation model that is used to compare supply chain performance impacts with regard to coordinated and non-coordinated ordering and production control policies. Real data of a fast moving consumer goods company is used to perform simulations and to derive novel managerial insights and practical recommendations on inventory, on-time delivery and service level control. In particular, for the first time, the effect of ‘postponed redundancy’ has been observed. Moreover, a coordinated production–ordering contingency policy in the supply chain within and after the disruption period has been developed and tested to reduce the negative impacts of the ‘postponed redundancy’. The lessons learned from experiments provide evidence that a coordinated policy is advantageous for inventory dynamics stabilization, improvement in on-time delivery, and variation reduction in customer service level.

在产能中断和产品注销风险下协调生产和订购政策：对一家快速消费品公司进行基于真实数据模拟的分析研究

在零售供应链的真实示例中，研究了在存在产能中断的情况下订购和生产控制政策对性能的影响，并考虑了产品易腐烂性。对产品易腐烂性的限制通常会导致安全库存减少和运输频率增加。对产能中断风险的考虑可能会导致安全库存增加。这种权衡是在模拟模型的帮助下进行的，该模型用于比较与协调和非协调订购和生产控制政策有关的供应链绩效影响。一家快速消费品公司的真实数据用于执行模拟，并得出关于库存、准时交货和服务水平控制的新颖管理见解和实用建议。特别是，第一次观察到“延迟冗余”的影响。此外，已经制定并测试了中断期间内和之后供应链中协调的生产-订购应急政策，以减少“延期冗余”的负面影响。从实验中吸取的经验教训证明，协调的政策有利于库存动态稳定、准时交货的改进和客户服务水平变化的减少。
