Abstract
Purpose: The Just-in-Sequence (JIS) approach is evidencing advantages when controlling costs
due to product variety management, and reducing the risk of disruption in sourcing,
manufacturing companies and third-party logistics (3PL). This has increased its implementation in
the manufacturing industry, especially in highly customized sectors such as the automotive
industry. However, despite the growing interest from manufacturers, scholarly research focused on
JIS still remains limited. In this context, little has been done to study the effect of JIS on the
fluidity of supply chains and processes of logistics suppliers as well as providing them with a
decision making tool to optimise the sequencing of their deliveries. Therefore, the aim of this
paper is to propose a genetic algorithm to evaluate different decision policy scenarios to reduce
risks of supply disruptions at assembly line of finished goods. Consequently, the proposed
algorithm considers a periodic review of the inventory that assumes a steady demand and short
response times is developed and applied. Design/methodology/approach: Based on a literature review and real-life information, an
abductive reasoning was performed and a case study application of the proposed genetic
algorithm conducted in the automotive industry.
Findings: The results obtained from the case study indicate that the proposed genetic algorithm
offers a reliable solution when facing variability in safety stocks that operate under assumptions
such as: i) fixed costs; ii) high inventory turnover; iii) scarce previous information concerning
material requirements; and iv) replenishment services as core business value. Although the results
are based on an automotive industry case study, they are equally applicable to other assembly
supply chains.
Originality/value: This paper is of interest to practitioners and academicians alike as it
complements and supports the very limited scholarly research on JIS by providing manufacturers
and 3PL suppliers competing in mass customized industries and markets, a decision support system
to help decision making. Implications for the design of modern assembly supply chains are also
exposed and future research streams presented.
