The book explores the Rolling Horizon Flexibility (RHF) contract, a crucial element in the relationship between original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and contract manufacturers (CMs) within serial supply chains. It examines how these contracts allow OEMs to commit to component requirements while offering CMs limited flexibility to adjust orders over time. The research highlights a lack of formal documentation on RHF contracts' impact on supply chain performance, particularly in fluctuating demand scenarios, and investigates two types of RHF contracts based on flexibility bounds.
