Robust Supply-Chain Management for the Disasters: Based on the Product Design Architectures

AbstractThe following sections are included:Introduction: Theme of This ChapterConceptual Framework of Robust Hybrid Supply ChainTwo concepts of product composition: Specialized parts and common partsHybrid supply chain that uses both market and network organizationCost-reduction efficiency versus attractiveness by differentiationDevelopment stages of modular partsModular Design Architectures at Volvo and Ikea, as Evidence of the Robust Hybrid Supply ChainVolvo global architectureIkea global architectureModular Design Architectures at Toyota and Nissan, as Evidence of the Robust Hybrid Supply ChainToyota new global architectureNissan’s common module familyConclusion: Summary of Case Comparisons and our Suggestion for Optimal Balance of Hybrid Supply ChainSummary of case comparisonsOptimal balance of hybrid supply chain that comprises cost efficiency and attractivenessAcknowledgmentsReferences
