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...
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...
As the industry prepares for sub-10nm high-volume manufacturing, defects introduced by process-critical original equipment manufacturer (OEM) components affect final wafer quality that results in lower yields and higher manufacturing costs. For such a major issue that affects the entire semiconductor manufacturing supply chain, there is an even greater urgency for pre-competitive collaboration among...
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...
Sustainable supply chain planning plays an important role to achieve sustainable operations and logistics. Sustainable supply chain performance is based on economic, environmental and social impacts. In this paper, we present a multiobjective decision making framework for sustainable supply chain optimization. We consider a supply chain network consisting of production plants, distribution centers...
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...
In the large supply chain network of complex products, the suppliers may delay delivery because of some emergencies. This paper uses GAN network to describes the large supply chain network of complex products, and discusses that downstream enterprises how to make decisions in case of a node occurring delivery delay, which uses mixed strategy game model to deduce the probability distribution of the...
In theory, the whole inventory cost on the supply chain can be reduced greatly by use of vendor managed inventory strategy. However, there is a great disparity in strength among the members on the supply chain, the weak member can be oppressed usually. It is hard for the weak member to get benefit, which lead him to exit from the alliance. Finally the supply chain is unstable. In this article, the...
This paper describes the concept of the risk pooling and its application into effective inventory management of PCBA production for mobile devices. The application is to aggregate all common components demands of PCBA models and manage them through just in time replenishment with kit-to-lines. Only those unique parts are kitted directly to production lines. The results of the application illustrate...
The manufacturer and retailers of the supply chain will pursue maximization of profits in product pricing, which tend to show relations of game in which stackelberg game is a typical one. The pricing decisions of supply chain model with one manufacture and multiple retailers is established through multi-layer planning model in this paper. And the optimal solutions of this model is obtained through...
After the Era of Economic Crisis, if an enterprise wants to win the advantageous opportunity, it must have reliable supply chain partners. So the research of evaluation on supply chain partners has become hot contents of supply chain management. Based on the history data of some typical enterprises in choosing partners, this paper use rough sets theory to reduce evaluation indexes. Thus we can obtain...
Supply Chain Management is a management of goods, capital and the information flowing in the network composed of providers manufacturers, distributors and customers. The supply chain starts and ends with the customer. Six-Sigma simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. Six-Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving towards...
We consider a supply chain in which there exist one national brand manufacturer and one retailer. Due to spatial consideration, the retailer is only allowed to sell the products under both brands up to a fixed quota. Thus, the quota allocation becomes an important issue for both brands which motivates our research. In this work, we investigate how the bargaining power in the supply chain affects the...
The study on constituting and optimizing the car industry integrated supply chain is effectively to analyze actuality and developmental trend of the car industry supply chain by using many managerial scientific theories and the newest fruits of modern managerial thinking under the guidance of supply managerial theory. The target of the study is to provide a managerial approach can be used for reference...
In a two-stage supply chain composed of a supplier and a retailer, the supply chain models in fuzzy linear demand environment are researched. The parameters of market linear demand function are regarded as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. The decision processes are analyzed under the decentralized and centralized decision, and the decision model with revenue sharing contract mechanism is also built by the...
A price and service competition model for dual-channel supply chain was established, then the optimal solutions including service level and channel profit were compared between single channel and dual-channel supply chain The results revealed that the competition between dual-channel supply chain leaded to zero demand segment of Internet direct channel and more profits for whole supply chain system...
Under the perspective of distributor as principle, this paper set up a basic model to study the principle-agent problem between distributor and manufactures in a supply chain with the condition of stochastic demand and asymmetric information. It is fund that asymmetric information damages the distributor's expected profit, but by method of changing some specific supply chain contract parameters, the...
Information trap in demand chain management is looted in its network characteristics including multilevel linkages among partners, the transformation from supply chain to demand chain and the complexity of environment influence. The aim of this paper is to establish an integrative model to analyze four essential issues based on organizational network feature of demand chain. These issues are the collection...
The classic newsvendor model normally deals with single factor and single period, where the purchase timing, the time-variant variance of the demand and guaranteed delivery time are neglected. This paper simultaneously considered the above three factors and presented a newsvendor model embedded with time-factors, in the background of two stage supply chain whose products were of time-effectiveness...
