TEDARİK ZİNCİRİNDE İŞBİRLİĞİ VE ECR STRATEJİSİ

Abstract

Tedarik zinciri işbirliği bir şirketin değişikliklere yanıt vermesi konusundaki becerisi üzerinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Tedarik zinciri içerisinde yer alan bağımsız şirketler arasında işbirliğine sahip olmak hem şirketlere hem de son müşterilere bazı faydalar sağlamaktadır. Tedarik zinciri işbirliğini oluşturmak için, şirketler Tüketiciye Etkin Yanıt Oluşturma (Efficient Consumer Response,ECR) stratejini anlamak zorundadırlar. Bir tedarik zincirinde ECR stratejisinin uygulanması güçlü bir tedarik zinciri işbirliğini geliştirecek ve bu, son müşteri tatminine ve artan şirket karlılık düzeyine sebep olacaktır. Bu çalışmada, tedarik zinciri işbirliği kavramı ve bu kavramın en önemli stratejilerinden biri olan ECR kavramsal anlamda incelenmektedir.
