Abstract

Within supply chain, orders variation is a more often expressed, which creates disruptions along chain links, not only in the effective orders management, but also in global supply chain collaboration. In this approach, the research team proposes a collaboration model between chain links, respectively, formalization orders management based on the methodology theory of constraints (TOC) using Drum-Buffer-Rope (DBR) strategy. This model is analyzed and exemplified within the pages of this paper. The solution provided by philosophy TOC through DBR in supply chain focuses on exemplifying the delegation phenomenon of internal stock level at different chain links, when there are very small variations in customer order.
