The selection of suppliers is a problem of complicated multi-attribute decision. According to the features of suppliers selecting and grey incidence theory, this paper researches on the multi-attribute strategy with interval number, constructs the evaluation indicators system of suppliers' selection, puts forward the computing method of interval number correlation, builds up a internal number correlation...
The sudden burst of the property bubble, coupled with current global economic conditions has resulted in a huge decrease in demand for plumbing and heating fixtures in the Irish construction industry. Moreover, inefficient supply chain management policies have imposed further pressures on companies resulting in more system bottlenecks and unnecessary costs. Inventory management is seen as a functional...
As a new type of management pattern, ”cluster supply chain” (CSC) can help SMEs to face the global challenges through all kinds of collaboration. However, a major challenge in implementing CSC is the gap between theory and practice in the field. The recent rapid commercialization and adoption of ”service” technologies has driven a process of transforming theory into practices. In an effort to provide...
This paper discusses global optimisation from a business perspective in the context of the supply chain operations. A two-silo supply chain was built for experimentation and two approaches were used for global optimisation: a classical evolutionary approach and a cooperative coevolutionary approach. The latter approach produced higher quality solutions due to its use of communication between silos...
The philosophy of SCM has been widely adopted by many companies to achieve the objective of long-term collaboration in the current increasingly competitive business environment. The role of collaboration between supply chain partners for improving the performance of inventory control is of special interest. This paper develops a single-vendor multiple-buyer integrated inventory model with the objective...
Realizing integrated financial management in supply chain is an inevitable trend. The features which integrated financial system in supply chain should have are expounded. Conception reengineering, process reengineering and organizational reengineering is premise to realize integrated financial management in supply chain. A framework of integrated financial system in supply chain is presented, which...
Nowdays social capital becomes an important factor to acquire firm's performance improvement, but the influence path is a question at issue. On the basis of previous studies, this paper proposes a research model, in which supply chain collaboration firstly mediates the relationship of structural capital and buyer performance improvement. The authors develop variable measurement scales through literature...
Returns polices is an effective mechanism in supply chain coordination. However, whether or not it works when participants of the supply chain have their own preferences on the risk is an important research issue. This paper investigates this kind of issue: The retailer faces a risk preference measured by the exponential utility function and the supplier as a Stackelberg leader provides a returns...
In this paper, we treat a supply chain where a retailer stocks up from several subcontractors in order to face a market with fixed demand D. The objective is to help actors, in an asymmetric informational context, to reach agreements and establish fair contracts where each actor is remunerated according to his added-value in the chain. To handle the problem, we have chosen the multiagent paradigm...
In this paper, we first study the performance of a supply chain consisting of one retailer and one supplier. The supplier sets the price scheme of some goods and the retailer then decides the order level and sells the goods in the market. Specifically, a quadratic cost function is assumed here to approximate the U-shape cost curve commonly observed in industries. Two kinds of contracts offered by...
Lots of companies try to remain competitive through effective supply chain management. To deal with the supply chain effectively, several strategies based on information sharing have been developed. Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is one of them that is often used. The objective of this study is, first, to simulate the performance of supply chains comparing the results of ideal homogeneous supply chains...
Faced with growing concerns over the environmental impact of human activities and increasing regulatory pressure, companies are beginning to recognize the importance of greening their supply chains by minimizing carbon emissions of their activities. An original equipment manufacturer that is concerned with minimizing the environmental impact of its activities should choose its suppliers based on the...
This paper considers the optimal production decision considering Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the supply chain. CSR is currently the most important measure to sustain continuous developments of companies by performing environment-friendliness and suitable social activity, and it is also essential for avoiding the latent risk.

Globalization has prompted manufacturing firms to come to terms with environmental legislation and regulations, resulting in the manufacturing industry realizing the importance of adopting environmental friendly supply chain management (SCM) practices. A growing number of companies have realized that attaining effective SCM is only one side of the coin. The other side is to make SCM environmentally...
In this paper, we propose an integrated model to incorporate inventory control decisions - such as economic order quantity, safety stock and inventory replenishment decisions-into typical facility location models, which are used to solve the distribution network design problem. A simultaneous model is developed considering a stochastic demand, modeling also the risk pooling phenomenon to explore how...
The traditional inventory management method can't meet the requirement because the event of the each link based on the supply chain of product oil are synchronized under the environment of supply chain management. In this paper, the management model of product oil inventory based on the VMI system is studied, and the inventory model for partially incoming goods evenly and delay in delivery is tried...
A cooperation model for the balance of one-shot cooperation in the two-echelon supply chain was derived following the principal-agents mechanism with the factors influencing profit distribution being known based on of supply chain coordination model. The results of analysis showed that the effort level is lower when a noncooperative strategy is adopted than when a cooperative strategy is adopted....
According to various reports, E-business has developed rapidly in China. Under this circumstance, firms should consider whether they need to shift to the E-supply chain environment from the traditional supply chain. In this paper, literature on supply chain coordination are reviewed firstly, then profit function of individual firm of the supply chain and the whole supply chain are modeled, concerning...
Because of different trust between suppliers lead to make different trust degree in supply chain, and the trust degree between suppliers is bi-directional, so a supplier bi-directional and two-stage selection model was constructed based on trust degree, according to trust degree distribution matrix of suppliers and cooperative game to bi-directional select suppliers.
In order to improve product recovery efficiency in terms of the uncertainty of recycle quality, an incentive mechanisms for electron product kind reuse reverse supply chain were studied by introducing brand conversion factor and developing a Stackelberg game model where the manufacturer and the recycler play the roles of leader and follower perspective, the author made an optimal analysis of the incentive...
