Abstract

Vendor managed inventory (VMI) is a collaborative approach to manage inventory-related issues. In this method, the vendor has the privilege and accountability of stock replenishment decisions through consistent automatic inventory or sales data from the buyer. This study attempts to explore critical VMI factors among the buyers and the vendors in Indian automotive supply chains. An attempt is made to compare how professionals and academia perceive VMI implementation. Two separate questionnaires were formulated one for the corporates and another one for the academia. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was employed for comparing corporates (buyer and vendor) and academic view towards VMI. Further, the t-test was used to investigate any significant difference for challenges and facilitators between the buyers and vendors. The outcomes from this study may help the automotive industry make a positive and efficient relationship between buyers and vendors and thus, enhance the supply chain efficacy.
