Classification of Postponement Strategies and Performance Metrics Framework

Abstract

Postponement strategy is an efficient solution to combat against runaway costs due to quick response to customer order, increasing product variation and demand for product customization.Over time, the scope and application of postponement has expanded to various aspects in the supply chain.This paper surveys various types of postponement and classifies them based on the view of reconfiguration of the supply chain network, which contains form, time and place postponement.It also proposes a performance metrics framework for measuring postponement strategies.
