This study uses a game-theory-based analytical model to examine the consequences of two markup pricing schemes, fixed-dollar markup and percentage markup, in a supply chain-to-chain competition setting with power imbalance between dominant retailers. Our results show that the equilibrium pricing strategy depends on the level of supply chain-to-chain competition. Specifically, if the level of supply...
This paper firstly studies financial risk cognition of the agricultural products supply chain, and then proposes four sources of agricultural products supply chain financial risks. Furthermore, this paper builds the financial risk evaluation index system of agricultural products supply chain. The index system of financial risks includes: financial risks of external environment, credit risk of processing...
Affordable and reliable supply chain visibility is becoming increasingly important as the complexity of the network underlying supply chains is becoming orders of magnitudeshigher compared to a decade ago. Moreover, this increase in complexity is starting to reflect on the cost of goods and their availability to the consumers. This paper addresses two key issues in the distribution phase of the supply...
Balanites aegyptiaca (B. aegyptiaca) is one of the plant species targeted and already studied for the production of oilseed-based biofuels. This paper presents an optimization model of B. aegyptiaca seeds supply chain in West African sahelian context. It has been developed considering the West Africa rural context where family farming is mainly practiced. The model has been applied to a theoretical...
As a relatively new research field, the current literature research on supply chain financial risk management mostly focuses on the concept and qualitative description of value. In the aspect of theoretical research, a theory system on supply chain financial risk comprehensive management has not been formed. In the aspect of practical application, scientific quantitative measure model tools and effective...
The purchasing function is the strongest link in the hospital supply chain. The stakes which are related to it are often complex and difficult to define. Public institutions and hospitals are all invited to master these link operations, with a particular focus on the hospital-supplier relationship. One of the most crucial is the selection of the right supplier, which is based on both qualitative and...
Comparison and ranking of evolutionary applications, especially the multi-objective ones, is a prevalent method in the literature for benchmarking, validation, and etc. It usually refers to the inquiries on how it should be carried out and what indexes for which one of the applications could be used. The aim of this paper is to propose a Fuzzy Comparison Dashboard (named FCD) for the applications...
To make a policy and decision for an appropriate set of optimizer algorithms is an important and controversial issue. It is significant especially when we want to consider more than a single objective and have to use multi-objective applications. The aim of this paper is to consider procedural fuzzy approximate reasoning to infer which one of the Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) could...
How to find out the vulnerability and the potential failure mode in supply chain, then evaluating them means much to the protection and controlling of supply chain risks. Based on the supply chain reference operation model SCOR, this paper first gets the evaluation index system and the corresponding potential failure mode, then combined with the fuzzy set theory and grey relational theory, constructs...
A multi-period mixed integer programming model is presented in this paper to reduce the overall cost of coal purchasing and transport in large-scale power generation group with the consideration of the stochastic coal demand. Mixed integer liner programming is used in problem formulation considering inherent connection between purchasing and inventory routing, and scenario tree method is applied to...
This paper considers a three-echelon supply chain inventory problem consisting of single manufacturer, distributor and retailer. In the system under discussion, the manufacturer produces a product and supplies it to the distributor and it is also allowed to direct shipping to supplier facing a deterministic demand but the time span of delivery is relatively short. We develop some scenario to accommodate...
The factors of the knowledge innovation in service-oriented manufacturing industry supply chain is analyzed in this paper based on the literature on service-oriented manufacturing, supply chain and knowledge innovation, and a influencing factor system of service oriented manufacturing industry supply chain knowledge innovation is constructed. Then, the investment of knowledge innovation of technical,...
The supply chain based on e-business is different from the traditional supply chain. Now, there is no effective system for the performance evaluation of the supply chain based on e-business. We build a BP neutral network model, developing a performance evaluation system of the supply chain based on e-business. After 6 times training, the performance of the network can meet the requirements. The tests...
This paper proposes a NSGA-II based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm and applies the proposed algorithm on a novel multi-objective problem for a two echelon serial supply chain. The existing literature shows that the existing benchmark multi-objective algorithms face difficulties in solving problems with more than two objectives. The proposed algorithm in this paper can be used to solve problems...
Today, internet of things is on the rapid development stage. Scientific measures for supply chain performance which based on internet of things is an important content of the supply chain management. This article establishes the performance evaluation index system which based on internet of things from five aspects. They are financial, customer, business process, node coordination and information...
The heterogeneous knowledge resources of supply chain partner are vital to improve the efficiency of knowledge utilization and knowledge innovation, ultimately enhance the enterprise's competitive advantage. In order to assess the implementation of knowledge sharing activities in supply chain, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of knowledge sharing is researched. By analyzing the main influence factors...
We introduce the concept of network structure entropy to describe the ordering and stability of supply chain system, and simulate the evolutionary path of the network structure by matlab and pajak. We analyze the effect of the topology type, the network scale, and the connectivity probability between different nodes on the stability of supply chain system, and try to optimize the system stability...
Performance prediction of supply chain is an important content of supply chain management. This paper establishes a supply chain performance prediction model by using fuzzy neural net in combination with fuzzy rough set based on Knowledge Discovery in Data (KDD) and Data-mining Technology. Through a case of supply chain performance prediction, the author reduces the indexes of an evaluation index...
Agribusiness, as a sub-system of China's market economy system, has an extremely important position. The improvement of agribusiness supply chain performance, is an important way to enhance the market competitiveness of agricultural enterprises in China. Based on BP Neural Network Model, the evaluation system of China's agricultural enterprise supply chain performance, which is on the basis of drawing...
This paper studies the advertising cooperation in a VMI-type supply chain where one manufacturer (vendor), servers multiple retailers under a VMI contract. The manufacturer produces a single product and distributes to its retailers geographically dispersed in different markets with a common replenishment cycle. The proper advertisement investment leads to an increase of the profit of the whole supply...
