“两点之间,直线是最短距离”是人所共知的几何学定理之一,但是美国太阳微系统公司的全球制造业供应链经理人们却并不认同这个放之四海皆准的真理。他们认为“两点成一直线”的几何定理在物流供应链的业务中并不能创建第一优势。相反,大概从2003年起,太阳微系统公司就把制造业供应链重点集中在全球市场供需关系上,即制造业必须紧跟客户需求规范和市场发展趋势,机动灵活地经营供应链。
One of the well-known geometrical theorems is that “the straight line is the shortest distance between two points.” However, the global manufacturing supply chain managers at Sun Microsystems do not agree with this one size fits all truth. They argue that the “two-point-and-go” geometric theorem does not create a first advantage in the logistics supply chain business. On the contrary, since 2003, Sun Microsystems has focused its manufacturing supply chain on supply and demand in the global market. That is, the manufacturing industry must follow customer requirements and market trends and operate the supply chain flexibly.
