In order to help the retail enterprises to manage supply chain risk effectively, this paper analyzes the supply chain risk factors starting from risk identification based on SCOR which distinguishes the risk factors from five phases: planning, purchasing, sales, delivery and return. The conclusion is that the risk identification is important and there are a lot of factors which affect the supply chain...
Various enterprises in the supply chain are inevitably linked on purpose of the existence of value-added. However, each company has been in the pursuit of self-interest maximization, making that there are potential conflicts of interest among the stakeholders in the supply chain. Therefore, it is necessary to study the risk among the supply chain partners, which makes this the normal functioning of...
With the globalization, a product is assembled by various parts of the product that are produced in different countries. How to finish the task? It depends on the supply chain. The products are transported different area of the worlds by the supply chain; the enterprise gets the profit when the products are sold. But the supply chain suffers the different risks that are caused by uncertain economic...
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...
This paper investigates the mechanism of revenue sharing (RS) among the actors in a two-stage supply chain (SC) with a decentralized decision process. The SC consists of a manufacturer, and a distributor, and in the chain, profit is shared proportional to the actors' investment amount or effort level, and sharing profit equally means sharing risk. Whether they cooperate depends on sensitivity coefficients...
In order to reduce the inventory risk brought by the current financial crisis, the inventory strategies matching supply chain were put forward for the supply chain enterprises, based on the introduction of the conventional supply chain inventory strategies and the analysis of the impact of the financial crisis on the inventory decision. The inventory figures were built to analyze the supply chain...
With the development of the information and internet technology, Vendor-Managed-Inventory (VMI) has been adopted by more and more companies. In this paper, a two-echelon supply chain inventory decision model is discussed. The products are perishable and sold over a single selling season. First a VMI model is constructed, and the supply chain members' optimal decisions are gained. Under VMI, the supplier...
The coordination of closed-loop supply chain with risk preference in stochastic demand is studied. Both the market demand is price sensitive and the stochastic demand which possibly exists in reality are considered, and the profit function is no longer being taken as a decision-making but the utility function with the risk preferences of manufacturers and retailers is used in calculating. The retailer...
Information sharing is increasingly recognized as an area offering significant potential for generating improvements and creating competitive advantage to supply chain. The value of information sharing within a supply chain has been analyzed extensively by number of researchers. However, there are few scholars who have ever specially discussed on information sharing risk both in domestic and foreign...
Revenue-sharing (RS) contract is a kind of mechanism to improve the performance or to achieve the perfect coordination of supply chain (SC). In this paper, considering that supplier and retailer has risk-averse preferences respectively, we propose a model of an SC contract aimed at coordinating a two-level SC, which is based on revenue sharing mechanism, and the customer demand is stochastic. Then...
It present a strategic analysis of manufacturer-retailer interaction in a dual channel setting and an analytical model that incorporates the key trade-offs regarding the channels. we study how a manufacturer can effectively manage his direct online channel and an independent retail channel when the channels compete in providing better service to end consumers. We suggest dual channel strategies to...
