Replenishment Scenario VII
Contract Manufacturing, Prime Contractor Buys Components
Business Overview
Multi-party Replenishment Scenarios are typically serial
two-party scenarios with a twist or two. When a Prime Contractor
(PC) outsources manufacturing to a Contract Manufacturer (CM), a
specialized pre-order process for quoting the cost of manufacturing
complex assemblies is used, Pre-Order Model 3 - Contract Manufacturing
Process. From there, a series of appropriate two-party replenishment
processes are used, with some minor differences:
- If a CM is ordering parts directly from the PC's suppliers:
- The CM may include identification of the PC in an order
and/or forecast.
- This is especially useful when replenishment has been
forecasted by a PC, and is subsequently ordered by a CM.
Otherwise, the supplier may have problems matching the
firm order to forecasted demand, particularly if the forecast
has been used to allocate material to the forecasting
party.
- The CM may provide a copy of the forecast data to the PC
to give the PC visibility of total demand.
- If the PC is aggregating total demand for several manufacturing
sites, including the PC's own manufacturing sites and a CM's manufacturing
sites, and providing the aggregated demand to the CS, e.g. for
negotiating pricing or for securing assurance of supply, the PC
may include identification of the CM in a forecast.
- If a PC is ordering parts from a CS that are to be drop-shipped
to a CM:
- The PC may include identification of the CM's part number
and/or order number so that the CS may include those references
on any documents and packages shipped to the CM.
- From the CS's point of view, the CM is another ship-to address
of the PC's. The PC should establish a ship-to location
code for the CM's address, if that address is to be used repetitively.
- Since the buyer and consignee (ship-to party) are not one
and the same, an appropriate Shipment Model should be used.
- Both the PC and the CM should be notified of the shipment.
The CS may send the Ship Notice to the PC and send a copy
to the CM; alternatively, the CS may send the Ship Notice
to the CM, and the CM may forward a copy to the PC.
- The CM should send a Receipt Advice to the PC as proof
of delivery.

Process Activities
This EIDX/CompTIA Business Model or set of business models have not
been developed or recast yet, so not all documentation has been created.
Some models may exist implicitly as part of a published scenario.
Some models are partially documented as part of the recast and/or
documentation of another model or set of models. The business user
"use case" view may exist - click on the appropriate link
above. Refer to the index for this business process segment for links
to business process scenarios. Some information on data requirements
and/or other supporting documentation may be available for many of
the scenarios. If you would like to help get this model developed,
recast, or otherwise completed, please contact the Chair of the Business
Process Subcommittee.
