In this paper, shapely value method is used to solve the problem of benefits distribution of the supply chain as a virtual dynamic alliance, and through a correction algorithm with an example, the risks values and interests shared by the enterprises in the supply chain is analyzed based on the acceptable satisfaction degree analysis, providing a reasonable feasibility strategy allocation of the interests.
Although great achievements have been made in the study of supply-chain performance measurement (SCPM), there are still lots of disputes and pronounced criticisms about current researches. In order to shed light on these problems, especially for these problems which fail to consider strategies or fail to give sufficient consideration of implementation costs of SCPM, we summarize researches on conceptual...
According to the non-completeness of financial contract, there will not exist the optimal contract ex ante between financial institution and SME(small and medium enterprise). However the optimal choice may reach through renegotiation. We design optimal decision-making model of staged loaning which concludes three aspects: giving up re-loaning, loaning with renegotiation, and loaning without renegotiation...
In order to help complex products' users choose the right supplier, an evaluation model based on ELECTRE method was put forward. In the model, a three-layer architecture, which was composed of overall objective layer, second objective layer, and attribute layer, was set up. Then the weights of individual indicators were determined based on fuzzy AHP method. Subsequently the final result of the evaluation...
The philosophy of SCM has been widely adopted by many companies to achieve the objective of long-term collaboration in the current increasingly competitive business environment. The role of collaboration between supply chain partners for improving the performance of inventory control is of special interest. This paper develops a single-vendor multiple-buyer integrated inventory model with the objective...
Supplier evaluation is the precondition to choose a good supplier. Based on the analysis of existing methods of supplier evaluation, this article builds evaluation index system of suppliers' comprehensive strength and puts forward an comprehensive evaluation model which is based on rough sets and fuzzy grey-linked clustering analysis so that the results of the evaluation are much more objective, scientific,...
Customer relationship management (CRM), which can optimize the provision of goods to customers, is now widely used in the business processes. The retention and the gain of new customers can be seen as indispensable part because it is closely related with the development of an enterprise. Consequently, it is very important to pay more attention to the customers. CRM is the right tool you need to improve...
In this paper, we propose a coordinated single-vendor multi-buyer supply chain model by synchronizing delivery and production cycles with trade credit option. The synchronization is achieved by scheduling the actual delivery days of the buyers and coordinating it with the vendor's production cycle. It can be shown that the synchronized cycles policy works better, in terms of total system costs, than...
In today's global and competitive business environment cost control and cost management have become a decisive variable in the firm's financial success. This requires reliable tools and techniques to estimate business expenses and enhance the understanding about business operation costs. The ultimate reason for firms to adopt activity-based costing and management (ABC/M) is to manage and control its...
Dynamical game between multiple production firms in a supply chain wad studied in this paper. Considering the uncertainty of market demand, it was characterized as a fuzzy variable. And then the game between two firms and more than two ones was analyzed in the fuzzy environments. This paper defined expected Nash equilibrium of the game in the two cases. The existence of the Nash equilibrium was also...
Scarce supplies and overcapacity are the main characteristics of many industries in transition economies. This paper focuses on the motives, conditions and impacts of vertical integration under these characteristics. Based on the extension of Hart-Tirole model, we show scarce supplies create motivation for vertical integration, and the motivation is decreasing with the M&A cost. Eager bandwagon...
This research explores a bi-criteria economic model for determining the optimal quality level setting of a key item production, and choosing the inspection sampling plan for a two-echelon supply chain process. The model objectives are to maximize the total profit of the upstream supplier and the downstream producer, and at the same time ensure that the difference between their respective earnings...
This paper presents an approach to simulating alternative supply chain configurations and analysing their respective sensitivities to external factors. First of all, the approach used for modelling the supply chain environment, characterized by uncertain factors, is presented. The factors that influence supply chain performance include elements such as customer demand, currency exchange rate, transportation...
The selection of supplier is very important in manufacturing enterprise. After analyzing the general approach for this problem, a new solution is proposed for this issue. By this method, the uniformity is increased, comprising to general. This article mainly combines Entropy and AHP through one kind of combination model to evaluate suppliers, realizing mutual compensation of advantages, obtaining...
This Collaborative Structures model comprises basic building blocks and elements to support a chain's dynamic execution. This paper presents structures for agricultural supply chain that supports coordination, adapted to situations found in this kind of agricultural supply chain. The model is supported by an architecture where chain elements mapped. A CPFR partnership may include extensive sharing...
This paper presents three new inventory control models for perishable items in three-level supply chains using just-in-time logistics. The goal is to minimize the total cost of the whole supply chain. This includes cost of production, cost of freight, cost of preservation, cost of early or late delivery, and cost of perished goods. The first model, for the purpose of simplification, has been developed...
RFID has been adopted by many organizations in recent years. The existing inventory models - commonly used for reordering the products by the retailer - have been well studied for non-RFID implementations. In this paper, we modify these models to consider RFID implementations. The problem we address in this paper is how RFID implementations can affect the production models. RFID implementations incur...
In modern supply chains, stakeholders with varying degrees of autonomy and intelligence compete against each other in a constant effort to establish beneficiary contracts and maximize their own revenue. In such competitive environments, entities-software agents being a typical programming paradigm-interact in a dynamic and versatile manner, so each action can cause ripple reactions and affect the...
It is well known that stable supply chain is absolutely necessary for enterprises, so how to maintain stable supply system becomes an important content in SCM. Because supply chain system itself is a very complex system, the interacting relationship among key factors in this system must be studied in order to grasp accurately and forecast its running rules. In this paper, a model based on pulse process...
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...
