The development and deployment of private forecasting technologies could allow supply chain collaborations to take place without revealing any participants' data to the others, reaping the benefits of collaboration while avoiding the drawbacks. Atallah (2004) [1,3] is a step towards this goal, as it gives protocols for forecasting that reveal to the participants the desired answers yet do not reveal...
As the market is changing more rapidly, a corporation is required to speed up the rollout of new products within the shortest time to capture market shares. In order to meet the demand for diverse and small quantity production, a corporation needs to spend much effort on selecting the appropriate vendor for cutting product design time as well as enhancing the production capability and cost competitiveness...
Supply chain coordination for short-life-cycle products with price-dependent demand is a focus in present operation management and management science fields. This paper considers a supply chain coordination problem for a single-cycle and two-selling-stage short-life-cycle product. Firstly, the inventory model of whole system is depicted with a stochastic dynamics programming. Then, a combined contract...
At present, the competition between enterprises has evolved as the competition between supply chains. The progressively competition brings a lot of risks to supply chain, and the risks arose supply chain brittleness, then weaken its performance. This paper studies factors contributing to supply chain's brittleness ,then based on brittle theory, proposes several conceptions such as brittleness entropy,...
In the three-stage supply chain, which is made up of manufacturer, distributor and retailer, when the market demand can be not determined, but is relevant with the market price, the revenue-sharing contracts coordination is studied in this paper. The order decision model is built which could meet the channel coordination and by which each company in the supply chain could achieve the win-win. At last,...
Through incorporating the effect of the distributed endeavor on demand and return ratio into the three-stage perishable product's supply chain, the game models linking the buyer's return and manufacturer and distributor's reclaim are established under uncertain environment. The paper points out the supply chain can't coordinate under the contract not being concluded among manufacturer, distributor...
Information and communication technology (ICT) utilization is considered as one of the major factors in supply chain management and an important approach to improve supply chain performance. Based upon some concerns regarding the constructs, measurements and items used, this paper analyses survey- based research with respect to the relationship between ICT and SCM, supply chain performance. Based...
Supply chain management (SCM) in today's global environment, especially the E-business is important to create significant competition advantages to firms and business partners worldwide. Since the objectives and goals are essential factors in the study of supply chain management in the E-business. The purpose of this research paper is to present the research question, review the conceptual framework,...
This paper describes an approach of supplier selection based on multi-agent system. In the supply chain, the suppliers are various, and the frequency of supply and demand is high. Our approach can make Buy-Agent find a suitable Supply-Agent. First, the method of the multilayer classification is adopted to organize and group the information about the suppliers and buyers rationally. Second, in order...
In this paper, we present system dynamics models of a time-based consolidation replenishment system in VMI (TCR-VMI) and a quantity-based consolidation replenishment system in VMI (QCR-VMI), which focus on the effects of replenishment cycle or economical replenishment quantity on system dynamics and bullwhip effect in supply chain. We design practical dynamic simulations under a sequence of random...
