We study a collective bargaining under which sellers form an alliance to jointly join a platform. Although sellers in a platform compete to gain more buyers, their cooperation can reduce the transaction fees charged by the platform. Moreover, sellers' bargaining with the platform may have an effect on buyers' transaction fees. We first analyze the basic model that sellers decide to join the platform...
In this paper, one typical conflict problem in dual-supply chain is researched. The method of graph model is applied to solve the conflict problem, firstly, take the uncertainty into consideration when selecting the strategy of decision makers in dual-supply chain, secondly, make sure the auxiliary decision based on the matrix form. Then the graph model is established and equilibrium point is obtained...
Based on a modified Nerlove-Arrow (N-A) model, we discuss the optimal advertising strategy problem in a single-manufacturer-single-retailer supply chain. Here, the N-A model is allowed to be influenced by the advertising behaviors with the lagged effect. By applying the differential game theory, the optimal advertising strategies of channel members are obtained under the decentralized and centralized...
Inventory is carrying high risk and high benefit as a supply chain management system. A shortage or lack of supplying sufficient inventory can disrupt manufacturing plan. Inventory management plays an important role to avoid shortage or ending up with overstock. The most important task of inventory management is making trade-off between the minimization of the total cost and maximization of the customer...
In recent years, with the intensification of market competition, more and more firms tend to use gift cards promotion. In this paper, we develop a promotion strategy model in which the retailer offers gift cards to consumers who purchase a certain amount of money. We analyze cases in which the category of the products is multiple in terms of prices and qualities. We show that the optimal face value...
In recent years, with the intensification of market competition, more and more firms tend to use gift cards promotion. In this paper, we consider the use of manufacturer sponsored retailer-issued gift cards in a single manufacturer single retailer supply chain. We use a Stackelberg game framework where the manufacturer is the leader. We analyze the result of the supply chain with cost allocation strategies...
We examine supply chain distribution channels for two manufacturers selling substitutable products to retailers. Both retailers are Stackelberg leaders and the manufacturers are followers. retailers in competing supply chain may choose different distribution channels, either a traditional distribution or offering a retailing platform. Under supply chain competition, we identify which chanel is more...
The challenging problem of jointly sequencing multiple items at the manufacturer facility, deciding on the delivery policy of end-items to the downstream retailers, as well as the replenishment strategy of raw materials from upstream suppliers is tackled in this paper. The objective is to develop the production and shipping schedule such that the chain-wide total setup, holding and ordering costs...
In this paper we present a method to obtain the solution of an integrated production/delivery quantity model when production rate goes to infinity. These socalled two-stage lot-size models determine delivery quantity and number of delivery from the perspective of the supply chain with the objective of minimizing total operating costs. The total cost includes setup cost, ordering cost, inventory carrying...
A two-level inventory supply system is designed with considering the randomness of supply chain mode and consumption rate of military equipment. Each level inventory's cost construction is analyzed based on Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model. The optimization of order and delivery period is validated by a real example.
The weighted vector is proposed based on inferior subordination degrees. The weight and the target value are synthesized as a weighting vector. And the tradition calculating method of weight is improved. A partner evaluating method of lean supply chain logistics is suggested based on the improved Euclid Norm of the alternatives from the worst one. And the quantitative method is introduced for the...
More and more Chinese contractors have joined in the global construction market in recent years. How to evaluate and upgrade self competitiveness is always an important issue for numerous Chinese international contractors. This paper proposes an AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) model to analyze essential competitiveness factors which based on experts' evaluation opinions from the international construction...
We believe that supply chain is a complex and nonlinear system in which chaos is in general prevalent. This paper models the supply chain management with a proposed tri-echelon theoretical framework, showing that it can be transformed into Lorenz equation of state under certain conditions and chaos arises. This article moves one step deeper into the causes and negative impacts of bullwhip effect in...
Based on the Fujian Province foreign trade condition, establishes the second-order polynomial forecast model, Making a prediction to 2010–2020 year direct Hinterland foreign trade economic development. based on this, analyzes the foreign trade container production coefficient, calculating direct Hinterland foreign trade cargo produces container quantity by every hundred million US dollar in 2010–2020...
A synthesized theory model which describes the relationships between specific asset investment, supply chain collaboration trust, and cooperation intention is proposed. Forty three supply chain companies with different scales in different fields are chosen to be the objects of experimental research and a sample data of 318 actual members is finally collected. Factor analysis and structural equation...
According to the characteristics of cooperation and production of the value of information sharing among enterprises in a general three-level supply chain, the index of participation motivation and correction coefficient are added in this paper to improve traditional Shapley value as the profit allocation strategy among supply chain enterprises. The range of values of the index of the participation...
The capital of the retailer is limited. So, the manufacturer should consider the retailer's capital constraint when she decides the wholesale price contract with an imperfect capital market. The business process between the manufacturer and the retailer is thought a Stackelberg game. The mathematic model of expected profit has been found under the framework of the newsvendor model. The whole sale...
This research builds a Vendor-managed inventory(VMI) model in supplier-driver supply chain. Using the corresponding MATLAB program, obtains some calculation results. And through computer simulation, analyzes the effects of VMI on supply chain performance, and announces the important function of VMI in promoting supply chain coordination, reducing costs and increasing profit.
We propose an economic supply chain model that accounts for typical inefficiencies resulting from low visibility of the flow of consumer goods. Using realistic numerical input values for the model, we illustrate how the profit distribution among manufacturer and retailer changes as item-level RFID is used for different purposes along the consumer goods supply chain. Applying basic Game Theoretic tools,...
This paper firstly describes the definitions of stock and virtual organization (VO), then gradually show the importance of inventory management under the environment of VO. Although the classical model of Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is widely used in the inventory management of traditional enterprises, it's not applicable to VO. As an integrated system composed of two or more traditional enterprises,...
