Managing Supply Flexibility and Inventory Risks in an Innovative Product Supply Chain;

One hand,supply flexibility may provide an opportunity for an innovative product supply chain to be reconfigured with the different stage of product life cycle,so as to dealing with the uncertainty of demand and supply.

The flexible supply chain that was integrated by made-tostock(MTS) and(made-to-)order(MTO) was studied.

Based on the flexible supply chain structure advanced by Ricardo, this paper renewed its meaning:before the Customer Order Decoupling Point (CODP) , modularization is taken to gain economy of scale; after the CODP, postponement is taken to gain economy of scope.

The supplier selection in the flexible supply chain is discussed under uncertain demand conditions.

Research on Supply Chain Flexibility Based on Knowledge;

The components and characteristics of supply chain flexibility from such aspects as operations systems, logistics processes, supply network, organizational design and information systems are analyzed in order to improve the customer s satisfaction and the value of the supply chain.

In this paper we introduce a measure for estimating supply chain flexibility as a function of varying order quantities and varying supply lead-times in order to solve the uncetainty.

Flexibility Analysis of Cable and Strut Tension Structures;

Nowadays,there is no literature about flexibility analysis of water network.
