Decision making support has become essential to conduct an effective management and operational system. It is considered an important part of operational research and management science. There are various decision issues concerning the good governance and management of a supply chain. In this paper, we focus on the conception problem of a supply chain, especially the geographical location implementation...
In some retail contexts, retailers can often stimulate product sales by offering a price discount or allocating more shelf or display space. The retailer's shelf-space and pricing decisions can affect not only the retailer's profitability but also the supplier's profitability. This paper investigates the impact of revenue sharing contracts on the retailer's shelf-space and pricing decisions. Consider...
In some retail contexts, displaying large quantities of inventory may stimulate demand. Manufacturers are therefore continuously battling for the retailer's limited shelf space. This paper models the impact of inventory subsidy contracts on the competition between manufacturers. Consider a supply chain with two competing manufacturers and their common retailer. The retailer's shelf-space-allocation...
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.
With the process of economic globalization accelerating, the cooperation among enterprises becomes closer than before. Joint managed inventory was adopted to lower production costs and get high profit. However it is the key and foundation to keep the whole supply chain efficient and orderly whether the profit allocation is reasonable. The strategy of JMI in the supply chain was studied. The methods...
The Manufacturing Corporation' preferences and the changes of environment lead to disputes or conflicts of profit allotting in alliance cooperation. Aiming at these problems, this paper puts forward a kind of negotiable profit allotting models of multi-person cooperation games. Then, a negotiation method was developed based on constructing negotiators' utility function and seeking the concession solution...
This study proposes a heuristic model to justify accepting rush orders in a multi-plant manufacturing supply chain with outsourcing, and applies rescheduling and simulation approaches in the model. This investigation compares the reward of accepting rush orders in the model with the extra cost of accepting rush orders. If the reward is greater than or equal to the extra cost, the model accepts the...
In order to ensure the stable and sustainable growth of Mass Customization enterprises and modular production networks, a good partnership should be maintained, and a reasonable benefits distribution should be drawn up. Through studying the multi-core-type modular production network, three kind's models of benefits distribution was proposed in this paper, based on the different allocations of the...
A buyback contract between a upstream supplier and a downstream retailer in a two stages supply chain model with downside-risk control is designed and modeled, both of whom are risk-averse, and the retailer's risk aversion structure information is uncertainty for the supplier, who only have a prior probability distribution. The supplier's optimal contracts under full information and asymmetric information...
This paper studies the replenishment problem in a single item, multi-supplier environment. A cost optimal model is presented. A comparative analysis with singe supplier model showed the difference in two conditions. An extended model based on model in MTP is proposed when considering the time and production capability constraints in MTO and shows the management issues in organizing MTO supply chain.
Different partners always prefer different kinds of benefit allocation methods from individual perspectives when a dynamic alliance distributes its cooperation incomes. Hence, the members of the dynamic alliance may have disagreements with others, which may cause the failure of the cooperation. This paper designs a comprehensive benefit allocation solution to incorporate different results of traditional...
Based on discussing collaborative management of supply chain enterprises, this paper broke through the inequality between responsibility and benefits distribution in the traditional supply chain enterprises, and established a new model of benefits distribution about collaborative supply chain enterprises, which is based on Nash equilibrium and Game Theory. In this new model, many factors such as the...
In order to obtain the optimal profit allocation strategy among the cooperation enterprises in supply chain, consisting of one supplier and two distributors, Nash negotiation model considering investment weght is developed. Fristly, some advantages and disadvantages of Nash negotiation model in profit allocation of supply chain are discussed. Then, it is proposed to improve the model through the investment...
It is well known that retailers can often increase product sales by offering a price discount or allocating more shelf or display space. The retailer's shelf-space and pricing decisions affect not only the retailer's profitability but also the manufacturer's profitability. This research studies how a manufacturer can use revenue sharing contracts to influence the retailer's shelf-space and pricing...
With the rapid advance of information technology, supply chains evolved from clusters of connected companies to a virtual e-marketplace that serves as a central hub for many companies that buy and sell. Over this large community of companies supply chains can be dynamically formed by mediator agents. From the view of an ecosystem, the companies that are connected in the e-marketplace can be viewed...
To supply chain network design problems considering electronic commerce (e-commerce) of scale and further demand fluctuations, a reliability evaluation method is proposed to evaluate the performance of plants under demand fluctuations. In addition, an efficient mathematical model is proposed to adaptively determine the optimal adjustment decisions regarding production reallocation among plants under...
To supply chain network design problems with considering E-commerce of scale and further demand fluctuations, a reliability evaluation method is developed to evaluate the performance of plants under demand fluctuations. In addition, a mathematical programming model is developed to determine the optimal adjustment decisions regarding production reallocation among plants under different fluctuating...
In this paper we analyze a scenario where a buyer procures capacity from one or more suppliers in the presence of demand uncertainty. The buyer does not have information of suppliers?? production cost function but assumes it is sampled from a known probability distribution. The supplier, of course, has knowledge of its own cost function but like the buyer does not have information on other suppliers??...
Distribution center is a bridge connecting providers and clients. It plays an important role in logistics system. This paper put forward the least cost and the shortest time allocation models of materials distribution center. The integrated measure allocation models of materials distribution center considering the time and the cost together is built and a solution flow to the least cost and the shortest...
Nowadays, distribution channel revolution has brought about enormous channel organization form change. And the authority leader in channel may also change. Members in the downsteam supply chain struggle for the channel power and more cooperative profits during the cooperation, which seriously affects the efficiency and effectiveness of the whole channel, even the stability and evolution of supply...
