Industry in response to uncertain demand, requires good production planning for the ongoing business cycle. The research problem is how the ideal production strategy in response to fluctuating demand. Research question are analyzing user demand patterns, and production strategies, and ideal production management for industry in response to fluctuating demand. The research used qualitative method. The data obtained then analyzed by qualitative analysis techniques. The result show that user demand is based on availability of budget, which cause the user cannot provide certainly to the demand of main weapon system, the shortterm contract are complicate the industry to design their production plan. The Industry implements the MRP system, in its application, raw materials that are difficult to fulfill due to constrained policies and production machinery that often occur due to the old machine age becomes a problem in the application of MRP system, because MRP which will plan the production needs and the time required to stage of delivery. Implementation of the MRP should ideally be integrated with Just-In-Time and anticipated by the model of lowering risk with gradual change. Conclusions, marketing strategy has not been effective, so that it requires good coordination among relevant stakeholders, the fulfillment of production resources that also have limitations need to be anticipated with an effective production strategy, so that the production strategy is able to adjust the conditions that cannot be ensured, Strategy with the application of MRP system combined with Just-In-Time and method of lowering risk with gradual change, it is expected that the industry can survive the fluctuating demand and the policy that makes the limitations.

Establishing proper relationships with customers is a subject matter of interest of many researchers and managers due to increasing competitive forces in the market and decreased demand. The importance of business-to-consumers (B2C) relationships developed even stronger in Covid-19 pandemic times. The main purpose of the study is to identify the dominant changes in business to-consumers relations that allow the business to achieve success in the new pandemic reality. An assumption was made in the paper, that proper business-to consumers relationships are key determinants of organisational success in times of a crisis. The theoretical deliberation, based on critical literature review, are supplemented by empirical research conducted in a form of a case study based on Toyota Motor Corporation example. Further fields of study are also identified.

The Impact

Purpose This study aims to hypothesize that the implementation of information technology (IT) in industrial business relationships entails both positive and negative effects for the relationship’s continuation. The purpose is to study the digitalization of business relationships with a focus on effects on commitment in context with uncertainty and cooperation. Design/methodology/approach Hypotheses are tested with data from 353 customer relationships in the industrial market. The model suggests the impact of IT on business relationship commitment. Findings The results show that IT use in industrial relationships has a direct impact on commitment, as well as an indirect effect via uncertainty and cooperation, which both can increase as a result of IT use. When IT use increases uncertainty, it negatively impacts commitment, and when it increases cooperation, the effect on commitment is positive. Research limitations/implications IT use in industrial relationships has a direct impact on commitment, as well as an indirect effect via uncertainty and cooperation, which both can increase as a result of IT use. When IT use increases uncertainty, it negatively impacts commitment, and when it increases cooperation, the effect on commitment is positive. Practical implications Awareness of the effect of IT use and the factors involved entails working with cooperative activities to counteract the negative impact there may be if the IT leads to increased uncertainty. Companies need to have knowledge regarding the effect of IT use in each of their business relationships to manage them according to their given situation. Originality/value This study contributes to industrial marketing by demonstrating that digitalization can increase uncertainty and cooperation (differently), and they have different effects on commitment, thus that there is a “bright,” as well as “dark” side to it, evident in the business relationship dynamics.

Electronic Business is based on trust between the seller and the buyer. Trust is not an issue if seller and buyer know each other, and they have an existing business relationship. However, when there are no earlier experiences, when the customer is not familiar with the vendor or the products and services are new – trust can be challenging. If there is no knowledge whether the vendor is trustworthy, the buyer is trying to find different kinds of reviews and experiences from other customers to make sure the buying decision is right. Here we look at how these cues could be made available, and in this way adding value to both vendor and buyer. Ultimately, better information increases trust and helps in developing successful business.

 This paper presents an action-research project aiming at improving the performance of “just-in-time, just-in-sequence” auto parts manufacturing and delivery in three tier-1 suppliers of the Nissan plant in Barcelona. This research was conducted at the Barcelona School of Engineering (ETSEIB) and promoted by the Nissan factory in Barcelona. In this paper, first, the concept of synchronous manufacturing is explored. After  several improvement ideas are spotted within the Nissan plant, the paper focuses on the suppliers. An intervention approach is proposed.  Suppliers are categorized and selected suppliers are analyzed (by means of three case studies, each one corresponding to a different type of  supplier).  This research contributes to understanding how synchronous manufacturing and delivery can be extended to suppliers and the existing drawbacks. The critical variables in synchronous manufacturing and delivery and the relations between them are identified in a conceptual model termed the M-S Model. Implications for suppliers are derived, allowing us to improve the performance of the whole synchronous manufacturing system. A piece of software is developed to help companies schedule  a smooth flow of components, making synchronous manufacturing easier.  Results may help decision makers develop a supply management system, including policies, procedures and the necessary resource deployment.
