| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 資訊管理學系 === 107 === We cooperate with a leading semiconductor distributor, and find out they make replenishment decisions based on past orders instead of forecasts from their customers. We therefore study the role of forecast sharing in semiconductor distributor, and examine if forecast information is relevant to inventory and sale management of semiconductor distributors. We also examine how external and internal complexity which are specified as forecast fluctuation and hubs’ order diversification moderate the relationships among forecasts, inventory and sales. We collect orders and forecasts of one main customer of W company, and the associated inventory records prepared by W company from 2016/10 to 2017/10. The data shows a hierarchical relationship: orders of a component belonged to a storage hub. We discover that forecast information is relevant to the semiconductor distributor’s inventories and sales. Our findings also show that forecast signal decreases by forecast fluctuation and hubs’ order diversification which give semiconductor distributors some management implications.
