Circulation economy is a form of economic organization through the integration of industrial chains,to achieve re-use, multiple use, and recycling. The green supply chain is a kind of modern green logistic model that through minimum resource input to reach the highest efficiency and maximum recycling, to realize the coordinated development of economy and ecology at the idea of circular economy and...
The agent paradigm is widely used to create supply chain simulation tools. Despite its attractiveness and extensive utilization in research, agent technology and its integration with distributed supply chain planning tools still represent an open field. In particular, there is a vacuum of research in the analysis phase of agent-based methodological frameworks. This phase represents the early modeling...
Among the research fields of the internet of things (IOT), business model is the key point to apply the high technology into real life. In this paper, e3-value methodology is applied to clarify the business model for a typical application of IOT-drug supply chain. The designed models show up the exchanges of value objects between specific actors in the industry chain of IOT.
Supply chain modelling and simulation by SMEs (Small-to-Medium Enterprises) is a challenging problem. This is due both to complexity of the supply chain models required and the lack of required expertise among the SMEs. The problem is important since SMEs need to represent and modify their evolving skills and processes to be visible in electronic marketplaces and supply chain design platforms. We...
This paper studies a supplier-retailer chain problem with dual-soucing channels for the retailer: ordering from the supplier and producing by himself. Customers' demand is assumed to be linear. We And the buy-back contract can not coordinate our model. A numerical example indicates that the buy-back contract is a better strategy for both the supplier and the retailer than the wholesale price contract,...
Coordination in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) plays a major role in competitive advantages in today's uncertain business environments. There is strong evidence of success in the supply chain performance in cases with high coordination among echelons. The bullwhip effect is an important phenomenon of amplification of demand in supply chain. By eliminating the bullwhip effect, it is possible to...
Theories and methods of supply chain game are exploratory and advanced topics. Differentiated competition is the key element of the game. Based on classic economic models, the game participants are extended from two to multiplicity. Studies show that supply chain games all get 0 profits with no differences. Analysis on differentiation suggests Hotelling Model arisen from horizontal differentiation...
This paper studies supply chain quality management (SCQM) form a new perspective of immune theory, which is borrowed from the research achievements of biology. Firstly, we introduce the concept of SCQM, analyzing the similarities between SCQM system and the immune system. Secondly , we summarize and analyze the four aspects of the immune: recognition, learning, memory, effects. Thirdly, we integrate...
In supply chain management system there are a large number of event logs recording the performers who initiate or complete the activities. Virtual organization structure is so flexible as to be more suitable for supply chain management. However the existing organizational structure modeling methods are difficult to model virtual structure. This paper design an automatic modeling method of virtual...
Few studies have paid any attention to the analysis of interaction between the subjects of knowledge supply chain, this paper studied subjects, characteristics, conceptual model of knowledge supply chain from the angle of supply chain management. Industry, university and government are considered to be subsystems of the main social system, and innovative achievements, enterprises profit and policies...
Theory of economic order quantity was used to construct inventory control model of closed loop supply chain-economic manufacturing/remanufacturing quantity (EMQ/ERMQ) model based on product growth period. The model shows EMQ increases along with the finished product value-added rate's rise, but is not influenced by value-added rate, and ERMQ increases along with the recycling product value-added rate's...
The purpose of this paper is to measure the relationship between collaboration and the extended supply chain performance in green supply chain. Following a literature review, the paper develops items for collaboration and extended supply chain performance. The model is tested with structural equation modelling (SEM). There are total 3 hypotheses failed to pass the test, other 7 hypotheses pass the...
It is a challenging task to analyze dynamic performance of a practical supply network system, as well as performance of its members. This paper addresses this problem, and proposes a new framework for multi-agent approach. In the paper, the primary objects required for supply network simulations are defined. The static relationships among these objects and dynamic order in which they interact with...
According to the non-completeness of financial contract, there will not exist the optimal contract ex ante between financial institution and SME(small and medium enterprise). However the optimal choice may reach through renegotiation. We design optimal decision-making model of staged loaning which concludes three aspects: giving up re-loaning, loaning with renegotiation, and loaning without renegotiation...
The Manufacturing Corporation' preferences and the changes of environment lead to disputes or conflicts of profit allotting in alliance cooperation. Aiming at these problems, this paper puts forward a kind of negotiable profit allotting models of multi-person cooperation games. Then, a negotiation method was developed based on constructing negotiators' utility function and seeking the concession solution...
Large numbers of studies have shown that: through the information sharing between enterprises upstream and downstream of supply chain, enterprises can improve their customer service quality, shorten payment cycles and reduce labor costs, so as to effectively alleviate the "bullwhip effect". However, the above studies of the supply chain were generally set up an absolute controlor, and used...
According to the relationship of the members in reverse supply chain and the members in forward supply chain, R/M integrated supply chain can be divided into two kinds: the strongly integrated R/M supply chain and the weakly integrated R/M supply chain. In the reverse supply chain of weakly integrated R/M supply chain, the manager of disassembly center wonder about the trend of future situation, including...
With the development of knowledge economy, knowledge has become the most important strategic resource, and knowledge management in supply chain has become increasingly important. Influencing factors on knowledge sharing among partners in supply chain are analyzed and the countermeasures are given in the paper. A logical model of knowledge sharing among partners is built, which mainly includes knowledge...
The supply chain coordination is the core of supply chain management. This paper researches on supply chain coordination under uncertain demand and delay in Payments and establish specific mathematical model that apply to a specific two-level supply chain that consists of one supplier and one retailer. Finally, a numerical example verifies the validity of the model. The result show that the strategy...
By making a systematic analysis of two game relations in supply chain system of travel agent, non-cooperation-partial cooperation and partial cooperation-cooperation theory models are established in this paper. Based on some hypotheses, the results are put forward and analyzed. How to prove the stability of cooperation is a crucial problem. This paper discusses it with game theory.
