The demand transmission process manegement is an important part of supply chain management. In comparing the current transmission process, the integrated demand transmission process has more advantages than others, but it also faces a series of risks. Because of the information-sharing platform, internal and external demand for effective integration, rigorous mechanisms in fractal reengineering demand...
In this paper, we investigate the quality decision of a make-to-order (MTO) supply chain, where there may be different strategies between players. Before and after orders are placed in the market, the quality of the raw materials and the price of the products are set by the supplier and the manufacturer, respectively and production takes place. Due to the volatility of demand, the players are subject...
An emergent event has a great influence on the supply chain and results in a large change in market demand. The supply chain consisting of one retailer and one risk aversion supplier is researched. In this supply chain, this paper gives the optimal strategy to deal with emergencies, compares the optimal benefit after adjusting the supply chain with the benefit not adjusting the supply chain and come...
Based on the analysis of classical buy-back contract's price, quantity and the maximum buy-back rates, this paper further discusses the retailers' order strategies when the supplier are able to promise the maximum buy-back rates during the risk fluctuations. In this paper, a mathematical model is established to maximize the profit when buy-back rates risk fluctuates. The paper also discusses different...
The paper focuses on information sharing of a two-level supply chain composed of a manufacturer and a retailer. Based on the principal-agent theory, under considering risk costs a mechanism is designed to improve effort level of information sharing, and different parameter terms of incentive and supervisory mechanism to ensure the validity of mechanism are discussed. The results show by selecting...
Some unexpected events, such as terrorist attacks and other natural disasters and so on, which have a great influence on the supply chain. This paper constructed a optimal model to coordinate the supply chain, and come to a conclusion that "adjustment" is the optimal strategy.
With the development of the information and internet technology, Vendor-Managed-Inventory (VMI) has been adopted by more and more companies. In this paper, a two-echelon supply chain inventory decision model is discussed. The products are perishable and sold over a single selling season. First a VMI model is constructed, and the supply chain members' optimal decisions are gained. Under VMI, the supplier...
In supply chain, information asymmetry will bring risk to cooperative enterprises when they are sharing information and the risk may also make them lose their interests, so it's very important to weak the information sharing risk as far as possible. This article gives some examples of the information sharing risk in several forms, analyzes the causes and proposes several corresponding preventive measures.
B2B online exchange has provided manufacturers and retailers an alternative outlet to trade commodity or service. Some manufacturers and retailers began to participate in the B2B online exchange. According to whether the manufacturer and the retailer participating in the B2B online exchange or not, four different channel structure appears. This paper compares these channel structures to investigate...
Behavioral issues become one of the main concerns of research on supply chain coordination. Within the frame-work of behavioral decision theory, the impact of reference point and gains risk aversion/losses risk seeking effects is respectively investigated on supply chain performance under Pareto optimality criterion. It indicates that for the former the relative risk of losses in supply chains is...
Coordination issue is addressed in a supply chain with uncertain demand. The chain consists of one upstream supplier and one downstream retailer, both of whom are risk-averse, and the supplier isn't quite aware of the retailer's risk aversion structure. The supplier's optimal contracts under full information and asymmetric information are derived and compared to investigate the impact of risk aversion...
