The rapid development of e-commerce fresh agricultural products begin in the way of network too. The chain of the fresh agricultural products supply has its characteristics and it is a complex system. Supply chain vulnerability which is subsystem sometimes changes may destroy the whole system. We draw fresh agricultural products supply chain model according to the way they operate fresh agricultural...
There are two key activities for an effective supply chain, one of which is the supplier evaluation and the other one is the supplier selection. In this paper, focusing on the dynamic fuzzy problems involved in the process of the supplier evaluation and selection, we proposed a dynamic fuzzy multi-attribute group decision making new method. Specifically, we would fully describe the decision-making...
Aiming at describing human hand 3D tracking from a new perspective and reducing the time cost of hand motion tracking, a novel model-based approach to 3D hand tracking from single camera is presented. First of all this paper introduces the hand model and the virtual platform based on data glove as the basic conditions of microstructure research. Then, the basic concept of microstructure of hand motion...
The purpose of this paper is to explore the evolution process of knowledge service network in supply chain. On the perspective of entropy theory, the knowledge service entropy is first defined based on the concept of information entropy and grey relation, the analysis and model of entropy change of knowledge service network in supply chain is given. And then, based on grey system theory and complex...
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...
This paper firstly points out the concept of the service supply chain of port. With the content and features it included being analyzed, reasonable performance indexes are selected to set up a system of service supply chain of port. Then a grey relational analysis model based on entropy weight is presented. For this part, entropy method is used for empowering the performance evaluation indicators...
Due to the fuzziness of construction supply chain risk, a two-level fuzzy synthesis evaluation model, based on the object of construction supply chain of raw materials in cascade hydropower plants along Yalong River, has been developed using related fuzzy mathematics theories in this paper. Furthermore, the application of entropy method in determining the weight minimizes artificial errors, leading...
In order to achieve the coordination and balance development of the coal supply chain, this paper designed a performance evaluation model of coal supply chain, using Balanced score-card and the Supply chain operation standard model. Six coal supply chains' performance was evaluated by Analytic Hierarchy Process and Entropy method. The results show that the development of coal supply chains in our...
Adaptive supply chain is the newest form of supply chains. Its main aim is to sense and respond correctly to dynamic changes in today's fierce competitive environment. Adaptive supply chain has been accepted gradually by more and more corporations. Successful strategic alliance plays an important rule in adaptive supply chains, but too many strategic alliances fail to meet their partners' objectives...
Partner selection is an important step of the supply chain companies. To deal with the coexistence of the real number attribute and the interval attribute, this work puts forward a method synthesizing the comentropy-based and the TOPSIS-based multi-attribute decisions method. The enterprise can apply this synthesized method in selecting the partner and supporting the decision. Finally, this work uses...
With the development of the third party logistics in China, a kind of effective and practical performance evaluation method is in a great need, which can show the operational situation of the third party logistics service providers scientifically and objectively. This paper analyzes the necessity and principles of establishing the third party logistics service providers' performance evaluation system,...
This article creates a green supply chain performance evaluation index system from the six aspects of financial indicators, information indicators, customer service indicators, the development and innovation indicators, business process indicators and environmental protection indicators. Then we describe the method of overall performance evaluation of green supply chain in detail from the index weight...
Material procurement is the very first link in the course of construction project, which relates to project cost, quality, and time limit and so on. Therefore, the selection of supplier is particularly important. In this paper, a two-stage model of supplier selection in project has been constructed by rough set and multi-objective liner programming based approach. The application of rough set based...
It is normally that the enterprises have partial demand information about the single-period products due to the short sales period and quickly demand changes. Under price-dependent demand, the demand uncertainty will be larger. In this paper, the maximum entropy formulism is employed to establish a model to find the most possible distribution. Then it discusses the independent inventory decision and...
After the Era of Economic Crisis, if an enterprise want to win the advantageous opportunity, it must have reliable supply chain partners. So the research of evaluation on supply chain partners has become hot contens of supply chain management. Aiming at this problem, this paper proposes using entropy theory to evaluate candidate partners. Entropy value method is a kind of objective method, suitable...
Dealing with the critical problem in supplier selection without considering the cooperative indexes, we proposed a two-stage index assessment system. We also presented a numerical experiment using modified TOPSIS to demonstrate the system and discussed the results in managerial perspectives.
Green vendor selection is a key phase in green supply chain management. The system of indices for green vendor selection was put forward based on coal group Corporation Ltd. At the same time, the improved multi-level grey correlative method was constructed. The subjectivity which lies in ascertaining factors' weights in lower hierarchy was avoided in this method. So the evaluation result is more objective...
Inventory Visibility (InV) is critical for most companies involved in the pharmaceutical supply chain as they compete against each other within the chain. Possessing a richer InV is a competitive advantage for these firms to continuously improve their supply chain's performance. This paper seeks to analyze InV and to provide a theoretical model based on Entropy theory. Visibility Channel (VC) has...
The improvement of enterprise's competitiveness depends upon the choice of the logistics outsourcing strategy. This paper uses the entropy method to determine the function's weight of the enterprise needed logistics service relatively, uses Value Engineering Theory to analyze the function and cost of logistics services, then takes ratio of sub-function evaluating value and the corresponding cost value...
The aim of this paper is to discuss and contrast concepts and frameworks for e-business strategies. A common integrative framework about e-business strategy building blocks is much needed in prior to formulate, implement and control of e-business strategies. It is much needed as ??one cannot measure what one cannot define??. E-business has an interdisciplinary nature and so different scholars with...
