Abstract
In a classic textile supply chain, a fabric manufacturer (such as weaving or dying firms), have to face numerous upstream suppliers and garment manufacturers. The problems faced by a fabric manufacturer are to respond the demand of market quickly, and the prices of raw materials fluctuate through time.
This study focuses on the dying firms in Taiwan, which are mostly SMEs. Based on MRP system, with the constraints of prices of raw materials fluctuation and fund, to build a model and solve it with mathematic programing, enable the firms to maximize their profits and satisfy customer needs while the prices of raw materials fluctuate through time, and they have two options for raw materials. In the end, sensibility analysis is performed to examine the factors that will influence enterprises’ profits. This concludes that:
1. When the percentage of down payment from downstream increases, firms’ profit will increase, but when down payment percentage reach certain level, the increase of profit will slow down.
2. The fund that enterprises have has similar effect on profits as down payment percentage of downstream has. When the fund increases, firms’ profit will increase, but when the fund reaches certain level, the increase of profit will slow down.
3. When the penalty of delayed delivery is relatively high, enterprises’ profits will decrease, with no effect on procurement plan; while the penalty of delayed delivery is relatively low, enterprises may intentional delay the delivery in order to maximum profits.
