虚拟一体化是在供应链概念的基础上产生的。为了更有效地向市场提供商品和服务,供应链上各个环节的企业主体通过信息技术实现了信息和其他资源的共享和相互渗透、使得企业与企业之间传统的界限变得模糊,从更为宏观的角度看,这些若干联系起来的企业组成了一个更大的虚拟企业,即称为虚拟一体化。为了灵活,迅速地满足消费者多变的需求,只靠本企业改善内部业务流程、建立柔性生产线是不够的,面对日益虚拟一体化的发展趋势,企业应当实施一个全面,系统的供应商战略,使得供应商与本企业保持同步、高速的运转,达到提高产品(包括原材料和成品)质量,加快存货流转速度、降低产品成本的目的。 Virtual integration is based on the concept of supply chain. In order to more effectively provide goods and services to the market, the main business entities in all aspects of the supply chain have achieved the sharing and mutual penetration of information and other resources through information technology, which has blurred the traditional boundaries between the enterprise and the enterprise. From a macro perspective, these linked companies form a larger virtual enterprise, which is called virtual integration. In order to meet the changing needs of consumers flexibly and rapidly, it is not enough to rely on the company to improve internal business processes and establish flexible production lines. In the face of increasingly virtual integration trends, companies should implement a comprehensive and systematic supplier strategy. This will enable suppliers to keep pace with their own companies and operate at a high speed to achieve the goal of improving the quality of their products (including raw materials and finished products), accelerating inventory flow, and reducing product costs.
