The operation of enterprise's supply chain system determines the efficiency of the information flow and value flow. Thus, in the conditions of modern competitive market, it is not only the core of the operation of enterprise's supply chain management system,but also a necessary requirement of the business strategy system to establish an supply chain information system based on data collection, data...
Distribution Center (DC) is one of the key warehousing elements in a supply chain. Given to-day's business focus on customer satisfaction, a DC's role of proper asset utilization such as product placement has a great impact on order fulfillment and thus can be regarded as a huge competitive advantage. This article analyzes the existing rack system of a medium-throughput DC and proposes a simulation...
Flexibility is one of important indicators for measuring the characteristics of supply chain; the author introduces and evaluates four ways of measuring the flexibility of supply chain by reviewing the research results of measurement model of flexibility of supply chain. Basing on this way, it builds a measurement model of flexibility of supply chain which faces to customer directly, and shows the...
Agility is the inevitable trend of supply chain and management. Agile supply chain forces the enterprise to adapt to the unpredictable market demand, takes the fast restructuring of dynamic alliance as the basic point, promotes the cooperation and the production mode between enterprises, and enhances enterprise's integrated management and economic efficiency.

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,...
With drastic market competition, the effective management of supply chain has become more and more important. A multi-product, multi-stage supply chain management model based on vendor managed inventory (VMI) was established by the method of multiple-objective programming, which could describe the capability and profit of supply chain members. Then, an application was given for testing the effectiveness...
In this paper, we develop a novel multi-echelon joint inventory-location problem that considers location and inventory decisions simultaneously. The model deals with the distribution of a single commodity from a single manufacturer to a set of retailers through a set of sites where distribution centers can be located. The retailers face deterministic demand and hold working inventory. We assume single...

Focusing on the specific properties of knowledge sharing in supply chain, this paper explores a framework that integrates the multi-agent and case-based reasoning techniques to support the dynamic and problem-oriented knowledge sharing among supply chain members. The framework is characterized by differential knowledge sharing levels related to supply chain partnership as well as the knowledge creation...
In this paper, first of all, the development, application,research status of a virtual organization is introduced. Then based on the scientific data supply chain, the virtual organization mode of German national infrastructure is analyzed. Third, compared China's national scientific data sharing project with German national infrastructure project. And finally put forward the views and opinions.
This paper briefly introduces the key technologies of Web service, and then discusses their applications in supply chain management. Afterwards, we design and analyze the information-sharing model in supply chain based on Web service. Furthermore, we show the principle to realize the model by detailed analysis of a simple inventory information-sharing system.
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...
Most current works in supply chain view customers as being outside the supply chain design; however, in this paper, we focus on the missing link of the customer's role in the supply chain. We present an original discussion of the emerging discipline of services science, management, and engineering (SSME) in SCM, identify and bridge the gaps between the two disciplines, and discuss ways to align them...
Quality is one of the most important factors for an enterprise to win the competition. Production-outsourcing supply chain (POSC) is a kind of special supply chain in which the core enterprise transfer the manufacturing of products to the other enterprises. It results in the separation of two important stages - product designing and product manufacturing for forming product quality, that is product...
In this paper, we study a mixed-channel supply chain system which comprised by one manufacturer and one retailer. Customers can make purchases either from the retailer or directly from an e-tail store which is operated by the manufacturer. From the manufacturer's perspective, we study a Stackelberg inventory strategy to obtain the optimal inventory levels in retail and e-tail stores and the optimal...
Without considering the individual advantage characteristic of different suppliers, the existing method of the supplier quality evaluation, and/or supplier selection, had mostly been used in the same scale with the idea of the "Uniform".
