Monitoring and Warning Mechanisms of Supply Coordination in Assembly System under Delivery Uncertainty

As supply uncertainty increases in recent years, it is of great importance to manage multiple suppliers, monitor, and warn the supply process of problems to achieve supply coordination in the assembly system in case of supply risks. This chapter analyzes the uncertainty factors and emergence mechanism of supply uncertainty in the assembly system. To achieve supply coordination, the monitoring operation mode under uncertain delivery in the assembly system is constructed. Under this circumstance, suppliers can be classified into four categories, and monitoring tactics are provided for supply coordination. Additionally, case-based reasoning is presented to monitor and warn the supply process with detailed steps and methodology, which are conducive to finding similar cases to provide warning insights and suggestions.
