| Tiivistelmä: | In this article, the authors investigate whether adding a market-making electronic broker to a supply chain increases the value of postponement. The authors hypothesize that it may do so by providing greater accuracy in demand forecasting. The authors test this relationship by comparing the results of agent-based simulations that vary between early and late differentiation strategies and the use of an electronic broker. In each simulation, the effects of demand correlation, demand variability, and demand pooling are considered. The simulations show that an electronic broker increases inventory cost savings (compared to a non-broker) and increases the value of postponement in the face of increasing demand variability, increasing demand pooling, and decreasing demand correlation. |
