The success factors for supply chains of a short life cycle product
(AGH University of Science and Technology Press, 2008) Szozda, Natalia; Świerczek, Artur
The supply chain is one of the most common concepts, broadly described and examined in logistics literature. However, hardly ever in the literature has attention been paid to relating specific methods and techniques used in supply chain, which would facilitate effective organisation management with the external conditions and operating environment. The paper presents the influence of a short life cycle product on supply chains in a context of the uncertainty and variability of customers' demand. In a later part of the paper, specific practical solutions for an effective supply chain of a short life cycle product are presented. The considerations are supported by the analysis of the selected illustrative case studies presenting practical initiatives taken by companies.
