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...
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...
Option contract with two parameters is studied in a supply chain with a supplier and a retailer. The coordination mechanisms under symmetric information and asymmetric information are investigated respectively. With the symmetric information, the leader retailer can get the channel coordination by setting appropriate contract parameters. Under asymmetric information, we analyze how the supply chain...
There is a universal meaning for studying the contract negotiations to improve the performance of the supply chain structure, which consists of competing multi-manufacturers and an independent and common retailer. Based on the characteristic that the retailer has stronger bargaining power, a Stackelberg game model where the retailer is a leader and the manufacturers are followers, was established...
With the arrival of the era of knowledge economy, the development and application of information technology with high-speed, the global economy is moving toward integration. Corresponding to this, the leading position of consumers in the supply chain has continually increased, and the demand of consumer has gradually become the key factort which may decide the development of supply chain, which result...
Alliances bring firms some advantages. A good and stable buyer-supplier relationship is crucial in a firm alliance. In this study, we develop an agent-based model to study how the myopic behavior of retailer in a distributed supply chain affects the whole supply chain alliance. We investigate the effect of firm's myopic behavior both in stable and dynamic environment including competition for price...
Consider a supply chain that consists of two players (i.e., a supplier (S) and a retailer (R)), who implement the "Retailer-Stackelberg" ("[rS]") game with an option contract with two price parameters (i.e., an option price and an exercise price). Under symmetric information, R can choose appropriate contract prices to obtain channel coordination. Under asymmetric information,...
In a two-echelon supply chain system with one retailer and one manufacturer, the mathematical model of retailer's inventory level and operation cost by sharing the manufacturer 's supply capacity information on time is constructed when the market demand refers to AR(1) model. Based on the order-up-to S level policy, without sharing supplier's capacity information and with sharing supplier's capacity...
The ability of rapid response has become more and more as a competitive advantage for enterprises in the modern market. However, it can not be realized without an advanced methodology been applied in the present manufacturing environment which demands the production of various quality products at reasonable costs due to globalization, mass customization, supply chain management efficiencies and just-in-time...
Over the past few years, the speed of product innovation is getting more fast, especially in electronic products, and new product innovation models can be expected to be appearing in response to new competitive landscapes, however, this requires the manufacturer to decide the prices of products of different types, simultaneously. This paper considers such a supply chain, there is one manufacturer...
