The sales channel is traditionally figured as a vertical line of manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers (more than one), retailers and consumers. In this mode, the order variance will be larger in every stage from consumers to manufacturers. This Bullwhip Effect indicates the overproduction and overstock. Apart from that, the profit of every player in the sales channel especially that of manufacturers will be cut down with the spread of the line. Nowadays, this sales channel performs a tendency to be horizontal and flattening with the development of shopping mall and E-Biz.
Different from the traditional sales channel, nowadays the logistics channel has been divided from the sales channel. Manufacturers and distributors are required to pay more attention to the logistics, thus, JIT distribution management will be a great option to enhance corporates'competitiveness.
