High Resolution Supply Chain Management aims to counteract the trend towards more and more centralised and rigid enterprises. Today, most companies strive to increase efficiency of business processes applying highly sophisticated, centralised planning approaches. These centralised approaches limit the companies’ ability to react flexibly and act adaptively due to external and internal turbulences. In today’s buyer’s markets companies usually try to bypass these turbulences keeping high levels of inventory resulting in a low overall efficiency. High Resolution Supply Chain Management tries to solve the problem at its root from a holistic perspective. Based on the Viable System Model developed by Stafford Beer a four-dimensional holistic production management system model, embedding an organisational structure view, an cause and action view, a control loop perspective and a decision making level has been elaborated. The basis of this model is the integration of all four perspectives into an interacting framework.
