Five flows: business flow, information flow, logistics, capital flow, people flow People
flow :

The development trend of manufacturing enterprises:
(1) The number is decreasing sharply, and oligopolistic monopoly companies appear in the refined industries.
(2) Cross-industry consortium companies have emerged around the world, engaging in one-stop production and services from raw materials to final products.
(3) Due to the advancement of technology, refined manufacturing enterprises.
The development trend of the industrial chain structure:
(1) Robots replace manual labor, and the intelligent model is obvious
(2) The upstream and downstream involved in the manufacturing industry and consumers realize many social and technological interactions.
(3) Trade is weakening day by day, and direct selling has become the norm.

Before implementing VMI, enterprises should analyze and compare their own environment and conditions. The main factors to be considered are as follows:
"Bullwhip effect" is a term in economics, which refers to a phenomenon of demand variation amplification in the supply chain. Information sharing makes information distorted and amplified step by step, resulting in larger and larger fluctuations in demand information. The amplification effect of this information distortion is very similar to a bullwhip in the graph, so it is vividly called the bullwhip effect. .
