Beschreibung

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1,5, University of Applied Sciences Bremen, course: Supply Chain Management, language: English, abstract: This paper is to explain the concept of Continuous Replenishment (CR) which will be considered in a framework of an understanding of Supply Chain Management (SCM). A more extensive approach was chosen to ensure that the considerations contain the necessary information for a thorough understanding of the method. Initially, the general background of Continuous Replenishment will be introduced, followed by the definitions of the necessary terms. Then the approach of CR will be analysed in its components. Having explained the general concept, further determinants to the model will be introduced, e.g. regarding the size and the conduct of the related enterprises. From there, the conclusion that the success of CR depends mostly on high level managerial support will be deduced. All abbreviations will be introduced within the text and can be looked up in the glossary at the end of this paper, pictures and graphs are displayed in the appendix.
