The heterogeneous enterprises which provide manufacturing and producer services form a supply chain alliance for the sake of profit maximization, where there are both competition and cooperation interactions between them. In this paper, Lotka-Volterra model is used to depict supply chain alliance coopetition mechanism among heterogeneous node enterprises and the stability of alliance is analyzed....
Supply network of any manufacturing product is generally multi-tier in nature. Suppliers to manufacturer are called Tier-I suppliers, and suppliers to Tier-I supplier are referred as Tier-II suppliers. In general, decisions on order quantity allocation at each level of sourcing are independent. Thus, overall cost performance of supply network may be sub-optimal in presence of dependency. In this paper,...
Fairness is a hot topic in the field of behavior operations, as it has been shown playing an important role in developing and maintaining channel relationships. This paper considers a reverse supply chain consisting of a remanufacturer and a collector. The remanufacturer delegates the collection of used product to the collector who has a fairness concern. That is, the collector's utility is not only...
The objective of this paper is to propose an alternative method for improving the supply chain performance in terms of supply chain cost (SSC) reduction. DEA-based performance measurement was implemented. SSC was estimated by employing the activity-based costing (ABC) method. The proposed method was verified by a case-based application of an ore dressing company in Thailand. In addition, value stream...
The motivation of this study is the arising issue of payoff allocation under technology alliance, Shapley value used to solve n-person cooperative game is firstly introduced in this paper. Through the modification of classic Shapley value algorithm, the payoff function of cooperative games with fuzzy coalitions is defined and it is proved that the payoff function and modified Shapley value satisfy...
Supply chain coordination should consist of two aspects of coordination: behavior coordination and interest coordination. Firstly, the supply chain behavior coordination problem is analyzed based on the buyback contract. Then, three methods about the supply chain's profit allocation when the supply chain is coordinated are discussed. The three methods are: ① the supplier's optimization model considering...
Despite the current challenges and risks in implementation, radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is rapidly expanding its application area from simple inventory management to advanced location tracking and supply chain management in a wide range of industries. As RFID technology is widely adopted in the industries, the valuation of RFID investment has become vital for businesses due to...
The downstream enterprises of supply chain usually order same kind of products from several suppliers within an industry cluster. Two different order allocation strategies considering production status are studied in this paper. The respective order allocation models of a manufacturer with multiple suppliers based on either the production capacity or production load equilibrium are proposed. Considering...
The fundamental purpose of establishing the supply chain is to gain competitive advantage and get profit. The key to this is the effective cooperation of the independent enterprises. This paper studies the internal mechanism of the benefit distribution in the supply chain from the view of theory, and describes the principle and distribution model of it. Then, in order to achieve the stability and...
By means of game theory, this paper analyzes the model of benefits allocation of supply chain which consists of a manufacture and a vendor and is dominated by the former. We discuss the preconditions of the model and give a simple and practical allocation method, gaining benefits not only according to contribution but also chain status.
In the background of flat world and widely international collaborations, it becomes critical for supply chain members to collaborate with each other. In this paper, we try to quantify the value of collaboration by improving business processes from the simulation point of view. We discuss different kinds of business process improvement manners, create simulation scenarios with or without collaboration,...
