Research on Information Sharing for VMI
Jia Dong-jiao · 2007
Information sharing is precondition for implementing the strategy of vendor managed inventory.To realize the information sharing between supplier and demander,the design method of shared data schema was researched.On the basis of analyzing the principle of the schema integration,the design principles and multi-objective optimization function for the design of the shared data schema were presented,and a heuristic design algorithm was presented to design the shared data schema.The heuristic algorithm includes five steps: define the problem domain,build application-object matrix,construct object tree,solve the preliminary solution,and optimize the preliminary solution.The presented method has been verified and implemented in a practical project.
