As an important part of supply chain costs, transaction cost has not been considered much in traditional cost accounting. In the past, transaction cost of purchasing was contained in material or fixed asset cost at recognition and initial measurement. Then, it was gradually apportioned to income statement. However, transaction cost of sales was directly charged as expense of this period. With huge...
Under the pressure of global financial crisis, enterprises tend to enhance ability of Supply Chain Management (SCM) and their own advantages can be developed in the competition. A decision making model of multi-product multi-stage supply chain consisted of single manufacturer and single supplier is proposed in this article. The model is proved to be superior and efficient through application example...
Consumer return attracts more and more academic attention due to its rapidly expanding size, and a large portion of it falls into the category of false failure return, which refers to return without functional defect. In this paper, we exclusively consider profit results from exerting costly effort to reduce false failure returns in a reverse supply chain consisting of a retailer and a supplier. The...
We present an approach in which the business process in The Fourth Party Logistics (4PL) can be integrated and optimized by using value chain analysis. For the purpose of reducing Bull-whip effect of 4PL, we propose the value chain framework, introduce the value chain calculating method for manufacture, design a business process operation model for 4PL value chain integration simulation, and give...
In order to realise just-in-time concepts in supply chains, customers usually have to provide information about their required materials to their suppliers. Now the problem arises what forecast data the customer should report to his suppliers when the future demand of his outlet is not exactly known. This demand usually is subject to a probability distribution. Without any restrictions, the customer...

The core of ERP is to realize effective management of the whole supply chain, which is mainly embodied by management of resources of whole supply chain, lean production, concurrent works, agile manufacturing, in-advance planning and intermediate control. The coal enterprise management concept has been transformed due to the introduction of ERP. Coal production is an important activity which is decisive...
Financial performance analysis of e-collaboration supply chain under stock disruptions is carried out by system dynamics modeling and simulation. Financial performances of three different supply chains with Internet e-collaboration tools are compared with the assumption that a stock disruption occurs at the retailer warehouse. Numerical results are shown to reveal the Non-collaborative, Collaborative...
Enterprises and academic circles pay much attention to supply chain quality due to the importance of supply chain quality management. However, there is not any expert to define supply chain quality(SCQ) explicitly. Based on the concept of supply chain quality management and ISO9000:2000, this paper attempts to define SCQ and summarizes its characters. The definition of SCQ is the foundation of supply...
In todaypsilas business, the importance of understanding consumer behavior has never been more important to supply chain members. Retailers are on the key node of supply chain to transfer consumerpsilas requirement, so retailerspsila satisfaction can reflect the efficiency of the supply chain operation. In this paper, a class of model and computational intelligence in supply chain network design considering...
Research on the cluster supply chains is development trend of the cluster theory at present. This paper analyzes the theory of cluster supply chain, puts forward integrating the supply chain collaborative management to cultivate industry cluster. The use of collaborative management of cluster supply chain strengthens enterprisespsila collaborative ability in industrial clusters, optimizes the allocation...
Financial performance analysis of e-collaboration supply chain under transportation disruption is carried out by system dynamics modeling and simulation. Financial performances of three different supply chains with Internet e-collaboration tools are compared with the assumption that a transportation disruption occurs in an inner transportation process of the retailer. Numerical results are shown to...
Supply chain dynamics is the key issues in supply chain management. To explain supply chain dynamics under the sustainable development, the paper will focus on its classic behavior: the inventory variance and bullwhip effect. A simple system dynamics model of an initial/closed loop supply chain system is investigated. Particularly, the effect of remanufacture, remanufacturing lead-time and the return...
This paper outlines the feature-based unsupervised clustering for supplier categorization. Traditionally, when categorizing suppliers, companies have considered factors such as price, quality, flexibility etc. An enterprise is considered for design and manufacture with the objective of acquiring & developing a sophisticated technological base for systems and enlarging & expanding production...
A mixed strategy which combines VMI and revenue sharing is put forward in this paper due to the problem of supply chain's hierarchy stock control strategy. A hierarchy and multi-cycle simulation model is constructed by multi-agent as well. The stock strategy of(S, Q), VMI, and VMI which is combined with revenue-sharing is carried out by discrete event simulation software EM-Plant. As the result, the...
In our work, which is still in progress, we examine the visibility potentials of RFID technology within the context of Supply Chain Management (SCM). This analysis is conducted systematically by matching identified SCM visibility requirements and general RFID visibility potentials. Building on a four-step approach, we show how visibility in supply chains can be improved on the basis of RFID-generated...
