Background: In today's context, information technology is increasingly taking a great interest for academics and practitioners. IT plays a critical role in supply chain readiness to meet market changes by lowering costs and enhancing quality. Hence, the objective of this article is to explore the effect of information technology integration (ITI) and supply chain information management (SCIM) on supply...
A supply chain network consists of facilities located in dispersed geographical locations. This network structure can be optimized to minimize total cost or total inventory by deciding the order quantities and distribution of links connecting the facilities. However, bullwhip effect (i.e., amplification of order fluctuations) is an important performance metric for supply chains because as the order...
Customers' demand is changing constantly. The bullwhip effect takes shape when this situation of asymmetric information is enlarged or amplified partly due to farmers' failure to acquire the accurate information. “Farming-Supermarket Docking” is introduced to make farmers and big sellers like supermarkets sign the contract, allowing farmers to supply farm products directly to the cooperation institution,...
Information and communication technology (ICT) has emerged as a significant basis for improving the supply chain. Reports are, however, often conflicting about its effects on firm performance. In order to better assess the contribution of ICT on firm performance from the supply chain management perspective, we propose a research model to investigate the interaction effects of ICT and supply chain...
The cost-optimal trend in global competitive environment has led to lean, complex and consequently vulnerable supply chains. This vulnerability is high due to the presence of increasing dependency in lean supply chain networks. Hence, it is essential for companies to regulate the supply chain network structure and information sharing strategies so as to be more resilient to disruptions/risks. In order...
Many companies are interested in sharing production progress information with their supply chain partners. While some conceptual studies have addressed the importance of sharing production progress information in supply chains, the literature does not show how to quantify the benefits of sharing production progress information. This paper uses a simulation model to estimate the expected value of information...
Consumer generated contents on social media can provide insights and intelligence for firms to improve their performance. In this paper, we highlight the significance of firm generated content (FGC) on social media in supply chain context. Drawing upon social capital theory, this study uses an advanced sentiment analysis approach to examine the impact of FGC effect on supply chain performance. Information...
The aim of this paper is to identify the priority weights of Information sharing Enablers (ISEs) in Supply Chain (SC). These ISEs are selected form the literature reviews and expert discussion. Consistent Fuzzy Preference Relationship (CFPR) is used to prioritize these ISEs for supporting effective information sharing (IS) in SC. The pair wise comparisons of ISEs are established using a scale indicating...
Supply chain information sharing can be achieved by a reimbursable information sharing mechanisms. Through using the theory of entrusted agency and a single-task entrusted agency, the paper studies the problem about supply chain information sharing between manufacturers and sellers. The level effecting two sides can be described by a linear relation and income relations, as well as the morale of the...
This paper aims to present a systemic approach of some important information sharing ways from the point of view from the efficiency of supply chains, and provides a short review of Hungarian retail sectors related, actual status. The success of supply chains can be based on the partnership among the member sites and especially on the quality and quantity of the shared information. The aim of profit...
Supply Chain Management is the planning and controlling of the integration of the supply, production, storage, distribution, and sales functions in the most efficient and cost-effective manner to meet one's service requirements. Due to the complexity induced by the large number of related and interdependent activities in the supply chain, coordinating activities in a supply chain, however, is difficult...
In regional economies future development, the exchange relations and interdependence degree will be getting more and more intriguing because of day-by-day deepening of social division and day-by-day complex of economic structure. Implementing the supply chain strategy is seamless docking and the entire line penetration of many crosswise departments such as the transportation, the information, the...
The study of B2B electronic marketplaces research mainly focused on the electronic market operation and coordination or only from the aspect of retailers, few studied the optimal strategy of suppliers and retailers simultaneously in B2B electronic marketplaces. Under the hypothesis that retailers and suppliers belong to risk aversion type, this paper discussed the optimal strategies of suppliers and...
Information integration enables firms to get real time information to cater the needs of customers, reduce order cycle time, accelerate response times and reduce cost in the supply chain. The paper aims at analyzing the present state of information flow between producer and its supplier, focuses on the ways and means of information integration between producer supplier dyad to ensure on time delivery...
As a special supply chain, design chain is the development trend for product research and development. Compared with supply chain, there is mainly product design and development information in design chain. In order to improve information sharing, modified method of IDEF0v, which is often used in construction design field, is applied to the design chain relationship modeling among design operations...
Firstly, this paper discusses the value of the information sharing in supply chain, Then it sets up model of information sharing comprehensive benefit in supply chain. Finally, it analyzes incentive mode and corresponding strategy in order to promote the performance in the whole supply chain.
With the globalization, a product is assembled by various parts of the product that are produced in different countries. How to finish the task? It depends on the supply chain. The products are transported different area of the worlds by the supply chain; the enterprise gets the profit when the products are sold. But the supply chain suffers the different risks that are caused by uncertain economic...
Supply chain process and information sharing play critical roles in today's supply chain management. Previous research in supply chain management has studied various supply chain processes and different aspects of information sharing separately. This paper analyses three aspects of information sharing in supply chain: information sharing support technology, information content, and information quality.
Increasingly stringent Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) legislations all over the world are making the consideration of End-of-Life vehicles (ELVs) treatment a priority for the vehicle producers, and they are required to reduce the environment pollution and improve the recycling/recovery rate of their ELVs. It is urgent for the producers to establish an efficient green supply chain management...
Information sharing in the supply chain can effectively reduce uncertainty, information asymmetry, "bullwhip effect" and supply chain costs. It can also improve the reaction speed of the supply chain to realize end-user's satisfaction. This paper, by drawing on relevant literature and taking two-level supply chain as the research object, does a comparative analysis between the supply chain...
