In this paper, we study a competing supply chain when retailers have fairness concerns. We solve the equilibrium solution under different range of fairness parameters. We show that when channel members are concerned about fairness, a simple wholesale price can coordinate the whole supply chain within certain range of fairness parameters. This research extends previous research by considering competition...
Two industrial challenges of uncertainty and interoperability arose as the new forms of industries structure have emerged. Network theories are systematically reviewed in three streams of network structure, network strategy and network evolution in order to find out the current theories' contribution on those two challenging issues, which include supply chain management (SCM), business network (BN),...
With a trend of supply chain integration (SCI) on the one hand and more use of logistics service providers (LSPs) on the other hand, supply chain service provider (SCSP) is emerging for higher degree of integration and optimization of the whole chain. In this paper, we first develop the concept of SCSP based on literature review, and then conduct a case study (EA Company, a successful SCSP in China)...
This paper explores the effect of model change from direct to distribution on the behavior of buyer and supplier and their relationship. First, a theoretical framework is established to investigate the effect of model change based on literature review. Then, a case study is presented to illustrate the developing relationship between a world-class American company and its Chinese suppliers. Finally,...
Since supply chain networks are discrete event dynamic systems, Petri-net has been an effective tool for supply chain modeling. Current research on Petri-net based modeling focuses on supply chain design and integration, production planning, inventory control, logistics and distribution. This paper first gives an overview of recent research work in supply chain management involved in all the above...
The practice of vendor-managed inventory (VMI) draws a high attention from both industrial and academic worlds. On the basis of previous studies, we introduce three parameters, namely the fixed and variable transportation cost, and the service cost per unit, to develop models for the following three scenarios by mainly employing the method used in Dong & Xu (Ref.13): (1) traditional supply chain...
