Cryptographic solutions to privacy-preserving multiparty linear programming are slow. This makes them unsuitable for many economically important applications, such as supply chain optimization, whose size exceeds their practically feasible input range. In this paper we present a privacy-preserving transformation that allows secure outsourcing of the linear program computation in an efficient manner...
As one way of collaboration, many manufacturing enterprises are outsourcing production tasks to their partners to cope with varied market demand or keep core competition. In this paper, we present a three-layered collaborative production planning model in supply chain environment according to the characteristics of the production planning. The proposed model has a dominant enterprise and multi collaborative...
In this paper, advanced planning and scheduling (APS) in which each customer order has an absolute due date and outsourcing is available in a manufacturing supply chain is addressed. An integer programming model is presented to solve the APS problem. The objective is to minimize the makespan of each customer order while satisfying the due date constraints. The proposed model considers the integration...
Since supply chain management usually breaks the boundary of a single enterprise to take the advantages of integration and time efficiency, modern productions systems are featured with multi-location, automation and openness. Traditional production planning methodologies need to be updated to support supply chain, a relatively new pattern of organization. Based on analysis on systematic features of...
The rapid development of Chinese exhibition industry requires correspondingly logistics service. Outsourcing is an effective solution to the many problems existing in the process of exhibition logistics development. Based on analysis of the characteristics of exhibition logistics, the paper analyzed the necessity and the obstacles of exhibition logistics outsourcing, constructed an effective exhibition...
Because of current strong globalization trend, manufacturers and planners are more willing to cooperate in many aspects such as purchasing, production, planning and so on. Accordingly, multi-site capacity planning should also be done in order to maximize the overall interests. Firstly, the difference between multi-site capacity planning and traditional capacity planning is discussed. Then a two-stage...
Coordinating are one core problem of supply chain management research field. Supply chain integrated planning is one important measure to realize coordination between supply chain members. The state-of-the-art researches mainly emphasize on two-level supply chain architecture, but about multi-level one is still very lack. In the article the problem of integrated planning of three-level supply chain...
By the end of 2008, companies based on the business model of offshore production were observed to be rethinking their business models, tending to consider the repatriation of production bases in order to lower costs and shorten delivery times. In this article, the authors of China's Electronics Industry (2009 Edition), M. Pecht and L. Zuga, (City University of Hong Kong Press, Hong Kong, China, 2009)...
In this paper, a model with one supplier, one manufacturer and one retailer is constructed to analyze the situation that a retailer makes orders twice before and after the forecast update from the supply chain coordination perspective. The manufacturerpsilas capacity is insufficient according to the second order of the retailer, so the manufacturer may recover the deficit by capacity outsourcing from...
