Book excerpt: Integrated supply chain planning is well understood by theory and widely applied in practice – however, only with respect to intra-organisational supply chains. In inter-organisational supply chains, an additional, yet unresolved problem arises: due to confidentiality reasons, decentralized parties keep their local data private, which prevents an integrated planning. Local planning procedures such as upstream planning, which are usually applied then, result in suboptimal solutions for the supply chain as a whole. In this work, new mechanisms for inter-organizational, collaborative supply chain planning are presented. These mechanisms are able to identify the systemwide optimum for several classes of supply chain planning problems. They can be applied by two or more self-interested parties and do not require a trusted third party. Extensive computational tests for randomly generated and real-word data suggest a favorable performance of these mechanisms.

Over the past decade, much research effort has been devoted to exploring the detailed mechanisms for achieving supply chain coordination under uncertainty, generating many fruitful analytical and empirical results. Despite the abundance of research results, there is an absence of a comprehensive reference source that provides state-of-the-art findings on both theoretical and applied research on the subject. In addition, with the advance of knowledge and technologies, many new topics on supply chain coordination under uncertainty have appeared in recent years. This handbook extensively examines supply chain coordination challenges with a focal point on discovering innovative measures that can help tackle the existing and emerging challenges. The book is organized into five parts, which include chapters on innovative analytical models for coordination, channel power and bargaining, technological advancements and applications, empirical analysis, cases studies and review. This handbook provides new empirical and analytical results with precious insights, which will not only help supply chain agents to understand more about the latest measures for supply chain coordination under uncertainty, but also help practitioners and researchers to know how to improve supply chain performance based on innovative methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In decentralized Supply Chains, each member decides based on his own interests. Conflict of interests results in suboptimal decisions and poor performance for entire supply chains, as well seriously harms credibly information sharing across them. In this thesis, coordination of decisions in supply chains in the context of Capacity Procurement problem are studied in different situations in form of three models. In first model, a dyadic supply chain with stochastic demand and exogenous price is investigated by taking various costs into account. PARD and RCRS contracts are designed and proposed in order for coordination of decisions respectively in full and partial information updating situations. It is mathematically shown that coordination is achieved by using each contract in its corresponding situation. In second model, endogenous price is assumed. That is, demand is modeled as sum of a decreasing linear function of price and a stochastic parameter. The model is first examined in a dyadic structure, and RSRP contract is proposed for coordinating of price, production time and production rate decisions. It is proved that coordination is achieved by RSRP contract in the dyadic structure. The application of RSRP contract is then extended to be employed in a divergent supply chain with multiple retailers, and shown that the supply chain performs considerably better than the same supply chain with a wholesale contract. In third model, a divergent supply chain comprising a supplier and multiple retailers is studied where retailers face stochastic and price-dependent demand. Since main decision makers in supply chain interactions are human, paying attention to human decision making process and their biases from theoretical predictions are important in designing coordination mechanisms. One of the non-pecuniary factors which cause deviations in human-decisions is Trust. In this model, the retailers have more accurate demand forecast information due to their proximity to market. In order to secure availability of products during the selling season, the retailers have incentives to inflate their private forecast information. A coordination mechanism is proposed, which consists of an optimization model, a scoring system and a rewarding-punishing system, in order to coordinate the supply chain. Using simulation approach, performance of the mechanism is then compared to those of two other mechanisms, namely Without Trust an Asymmetric mechanism. According to the results, employing the mechanism in situations with any demand variability is advised. More accurately, in situations with high demand variability, the mechanism achieves a proper profit improvement and moderate capability for identifying deceptive agents, while in situations with low demand variability, the mechanism shows insignificant profit improvement and considerable ability in identifying deceptive agents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis attempts to analyze coordination mechanisms between producers and suppliers in a supply chain. Since the entities in a supply chain work usually independently each from the other, it is of crucial importance to develop coordination mechanisms so that they can set their objectives together and coordinate their activities to optimize the global system performance. In the first part, some recent optimization models of coordination will be studied and discussed, like capacitated planning models for producers, lot-sizing models for suppliers and the ideal model with cooperation and sharing information from both parties. The second part will consist in extending some of these coordination models to include some additional furthers. For example, some models will be extended to the case where more competing suppliers and producers are involved. Then, a numerical investigation will also be undertaken to compare the different types of anticipation of the producer and their effects, compared to an ideal situation which performs a complete integration of the supplier into the producers model, a situation that is really difficult to apply in the real world. Moreover, the same investigation through the extended models would be undertaken to test and validate these new models. There will be a comparison between three types of models, concerning the effect of incrementing the number of suppliers, the number of producers and the number of both of them. Finally, it will be deduced that the best model for the producer would be having a reactive anticipation of the supplier's model, that is create a closer coordination which will benefit not only the producer but also the supplier. Although it is difficult to implement compared with the other two models and the information about the supplier is difficult to find, it would have a really good improvement on the final cost nearly as good as the ideal model. Related to the multiple parties, it has been concluded that in general terms the best model is the one with an individual producer and supplier. But looking more in detail there are some improvements in the total cost when the producer is divided by smaller producers, having less productivity each one. In that case, and depending on the features of the supplier, it may be some improvements on the total cost of the supply chain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With supply chains evolving into complex networks of diverse and independent economic entities, supply chain coordination has emerged as a key management capability for improving overall performance of the network. For long term sustainability, it is important that such networks remain stable with little incentive for players to sever their linkages, especially in supply chains with participative constraints on their members. While topic of coordination has received vast attention from both academia and practitioners, the issues related to network stability have not been addressed adequately. In order to bridge this gap in the literature, we focus on a two tier supply chain network competing with independent producers. The network involves a marketing agent that coordinates activities among the network producers via a price and pro t sharing based coordination mechanism.We develop a (noncooperative) game theoretic model and analyze the impact of the coordination mechanism on stability of the network. In particular, we focus on three factors: cost parameters, number of producers vis- a-vis level of competition, and profit sharing. We derive response functions for the players involved and show that optimal decisions by coordination leads to Nash equilibrium for the supply chain. In addition, we develop structural results to characterize stability of the network. Our results show, that while profit sharing parameter of the coordination mechanism has no impact on network surplus, it has implications for network stability. These results bring out relationship between the factors of interest and provide insights for determining the decision parameters of the coordination mechanism.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the impacts of four advanced coordination mechanisms on supply chain performance under different operational and environmental conditions. Compared with the traditional supply chain system, consignment, two variants of vendor managed inventory (VMI I, VMI II) systems, and collaborative planning, forecasting and replenishment (CPFR) are considered to be advanced coordination mechanisms. They have been advocated in the past due to the efficiency that they may bring through joint decision making and information sharing, which may ultimately result in improved supply chain performance. Analytical modeling based on cost minimization and profit maximization problems is first applied to make the direct comparison of coordination mechanisms with the traditional system. In order to conduct additional sophisticated analyses, this study applies simulation modeling based on time-phased operations, as in materials requirements planning (MRP) systems. A two-stage supply chain system, with a single buyer and a supplier, is considered and it incorporates multiple steps of operations including forecasting, replenishment, inventory management, production, and transportation. The simulation models consider six operational and environmental factors: coordination mechanism, information sharing, demand pattern, lead time, production capacity, and cost structure. The performance of each supply chain system is evaluated in terms of service levels, bullwhip effect, and profits of the buyer, the supplier, and the whole supply chain. The outcomes of simulation runs are statistically analyzed by comprehensively using multi-variate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The simulation results generally support the widely held view that more advanced coordination mechanisms have greater supply chain profit than less advanced ones. On the other hand, advanced coordination mechanisms like CPFR do not necessarily improve customer service level and bullwhip effect. VMI I was found to result in good performance in terms of supplier's service level (fill rate) and bullwhip effect. Information sharing does not only increase the supply chain profit, but also is required for the coordination mechanisms to achieve improved performance. Further properties of coordination mechanisms are analyzed and discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is on inventory management and supply chain coordination mechanisms within an economic order quantity framework. Specifically, this research focuses on modeling optimal order policies and coordination mechanisms for a supply chain involving items which experience probabilistic failure during storage. These items are common types of manufactured items which, nonetheless, require specialized order policy considerations due to their unique characteristics. We first develop the solution for the buyer’s problem through the use of an economic order quantity (EOQ) model incorporating item failure. We then proceed to model the manufacturer’s problem through the use of an economic production quantity (EPQ) model. Finally, we consider mechanisms to promote mutually-beneficial cooperation between the supplier and n buyers in service of coordinating the entire supply chain. While prior research has focused on items which can be repaired or sold at a discount upon failure, such models are inappropriate for systems where repair costs exceed or are equivalent to item costs and imperfect items are unacceptable. Examples of industries featuring these inventory conditions include the medical, defense, and electronics industries where defective items are largely useless. First, our EOQ model considers a buyer-supplier relationship featuring delivery and stocking of items which experience probabilistic failure in storage. Thereafter, our EPQ model considers in-house production of such items. Collectively, our EOQ and EPQ models provide methods for developing optimal order policies necessary to achieve practicable supply chain coordination. In order to validate the necessity of the developed models, we include an empirical analysis of item reliability for some common mechanical components used in the defense industry, thereby identifying items which fail in the manner modeled in this dissertation. Having considered optimal order policies for both buyers and suppliers, we next develop an optimal solution for a coordinated supply chain. The proposed solution allows the manufacturer to coordinate a supply chain consisting of n buyers in order to achieve a common replenishment time. Through this optimization framework, we minimize total system-wide costs and derive the cost savings associated with our coordinated solution. Numerical examples are then used to demonstrate the magnitude of cost savings achievable through our coordination framework. We conclude by proposing several mechanisms for leveraging the resulting cost savings to induce mutually-beneficial cooperation between the supplier and multiple buyers. Given the lack of buyer-supplier cooperation noted in empirical research related to supply chain coordination, our identification of specific mechanisms useful for inducing mutually-beneficial cooperation between buyers and suppliers represents an important practical contribution to the supply chain coordination literature. These models are accompanied by a thorough overview and discussion of economic order quantity theory, optimal order policies, and supply chain coordination mechanisms.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the human environmental problems resulting from industrial manufacturing activities have affected pharmaceutical supply chain management. Governments have imposed legislations and policies on producers to tackle the medications recovery process. Besides, customers social pressure plays a major role in determining corporate sustainable strategies and performance measures. Creative and proactive approaches are therefore necessary to reduce the introduction of pharmaceutical wastes to the environment and to improve the sustainability of the value chain. In this dissertation, we propose different coordination mechanisms for sustainable pharmaceutical value chains inspired by traditional supply chains coordination mechanisms. For this purpose, a real case study for a generic pharmaceutical company, Generic PharmaX, is considered. We first focus on the reverse supply chain activities in order to reduce medication leftovers at customer sites. We develop a negotiation-based mechanism by the aid of a linear mathematical model to reflect the relationship between the supply chain entities. Results show that up to 28% more products could be collected if companies coordinate their operations efficiently. Moreover, the proposed coordination approaches leads to a win-win situation for the reverse supply chain entities, where each effort is rewarded. Next, we explore the role of providing incentives to customers in order to facilitate leftover returns and improve the sustainability for the pharmaceutical reverse supply chain. Coordination model is therefore presented between the producer and third-party logistics companies, responsible for collecting unwanted medications from customer zones. A technique is also proposed to share the expected saving between the supply chain entities. The experimental results indicate that introducing incentives to customers could decrease the amount of leftovers from 18% up to 6.5%. Furthermore, having a proper coordination with 3PL companies, in addition to customer incentives, could guarantee a full medication recovery. Finally, we focus on the inventory control management activities of the value chain. The effect of implementing a Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) system on minimizing the quantity of expired medications at customer zones is investigated. Results reveal that implementing the VMI system could improve the sustainability of the supply chain. More precisely, the amount of expired medications could reach zero against the current 18% expiration rate of shipped items. Some insights to guide the supply chain entities through the VMI implementation are also provided.

Book excerpt: Quantitative models and computer-based tools are essential for making decisions in today's business environment. These tools are of particular importance in the rapidly growing area of supply chain management. This volume is a unified effort to provide a systematic summary of the large variety of new issues being considered, the new set of models being developed, the new techniques for analysis, and the computational methods that have become available recently. The volume's objective is to provide a self-contained, sophisticated research summary - a snapshot at this point of time - in the area of Quantitative Models for Supply Chain Management. While there are some multi-disciplinary aspects of supply chain management not covered here, the Editors and their contributors have captured many important developments in this rapidly expanding field. The 26 chapters can be divided into six categories. Basic Concepts and Technical Material (Chapters 1-6). The chapters in this category focus on introducing basic concepts, providing mathematical background and validating algorithmic tools to solve operational problems in supply chains. Supply Contracts (Chapters 7-10). In this category, the primary focus is on design and evaluation of supply contracts between independent agents in the supply chain. Value of Information (Chapters 11-13). The chapters in this category explicitly model the effect of information on decision-making and on supply chain performance. Managing Product Variety (Chapters 16-19). The chapters in this category analyze the effects of product variety and the different strategies to manage it. International Operations (Chapters 20-22). The three chapters in this category provide an overview of research in the emerging area of International Operations. Conceptual Issues and New Challenges (Chapters 23-27). These chapters outline a variety of frameworks that can be explored and used in future research efforts. This volume can serve as a graduate text, as a reference for researchers and as a guide for further development of this field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: Today's globalized business environment is characterized by a strong competitive pressure which requires companies to improve their supply chains' effectiveness and efficiency by coordination. However, the organizational structures are more and more characterized by networks containing equal partners which restricts the application of coordination mechanisms. Collaborative planning aims at covering the resulting requirements and gains more and more attention in research and practice. Within these approaches, the companies' shared decision-space is collaboratively explored and evaluated by means of formally specified interaction processes which are connected to local planning models. These procedures allow to find a mutually agreed and beneficial planning solutions which improve the supply chain's overall performance. Within this domain, a limited degree of practical implementations has been identified. Thus, a large potential for supporting supply chain planners and IT-departments in the selection, customization, and implementation of suitable and promising coordination mechanisms exists. Addressing these potentials, as part of his doctoral studies Peer Kuppers developed the Framework for Intelligent Supply Chain Collaboration (FRISCO). It contains methods and tools for designing and modelling collaborative planning concepts as well as an agent-based simulation environment for the use case-driven and quantitative evaluation of their coordination performance. The framework's utility has been shown in various scenarios from different industries which emphasizes its generalizability. German description: Um dem Leistungsdruck einer globalisierten Wirtschaft begegnen zu konnen, streben Unternehmen verbesserte Koordination zur Steigerung der Supply Chain-Effizienz bzw. -Effektivitat an. Jedoch weisen heutige Organisationsstrukturen, die vielfach durch Netzwerke mit teilweise gleichberechtigten Partnerschaften gekennzeichnet sind, Restriktionen fur Koordinationsmechanismen auf. Die Kollaborative Planung stellt einen Koordinationsansatz dar, der diese Anforderungen berucksichtigt und stetig an Bedeutung in Forschung und Praxis gewinnt. Durch die formelle Spezifikation von Interaktionsprozessen und deren Anbindung an lokale Planungsmodelle wird der Supply Chain-weite Entscheidungsraum kollaborativ durchsucht. So wird - aufgrund der Komplexitat meist IT-basiert - einvernehmliche Koordination erreicht und die Gesamtperformance verbessert.Hinsichtlich dieser Planungskonzepte konnte ein geringer Grad der praktischen Durchdringung und somit grosses Potential zur Unterstutzung von Supply Chain-Planern und IT-Abteilungen in der Auswahl, Anpassung und Implementierung geeigneter Koordinationsmechanismen identifiziert werden. Daher entwickelte Peer Kuppers im Rahmen seiner Promotion das Framework for Intelligent Supply Chain Collaboration (FRISCO). Es enthalt Methoden und Werkzeuge zur Gestaltung und Modellierung Kollaborativer Planungskonzepte sowie eine agentenbasierte Simulationsumgebung zur Bewertung der Koordinationsleistung im Anwendungsfall. Der Nutzen des Frameworks konnte anhand verschiedener Szenarien aus unterschiedlichen Branchen dargestellt und damit dessen Generalisierbarkeit unterstrichen werden.Peer Kuppers, Jahrgang 1981, studierte Technische Informatik an der Technischen Universitat Berlin und Betriebswirtschaftslehre an der Westfalischen Wilhelms-Universitat Munster. Im Anschluss war er als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS) tatig. Im November 2013 erfolgte die Promotion zum Doktor der Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Seit 2015 arbeitet er als Data Scientist im Bereich Internet of Things.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is developed by focusing on the four issues: (1) product strategy of private brand; (2) pricing strategy of private brand; (3) channel strategy with private brand introduction; and (4) supply chain coordination with private brand introduction. Private brand (PB), also known as private label (PL) or store brand (SB), refers to a brand created and controlled by a retailer. In the 1960s and 1970s, private labels began to emerge in France and England. Although private label has grown rapidly worldwide, market share varies greatly from region to region. According to Nielsen's 2018 Global Private Label Report, the largest markets for private-label products are found primarily in the more mature European retail markets. In recent years, many large domestic retail enterprises have launched their own brand products. With the growth of e-commerce, some online retailers have also launched private-label goods. JD started to introduce its private brands in 2010, with annual sales of its private brand products reaching several hundred million yuan. However, at present, the market share of China's private label is only 1-3%, which still has a big gap compared with Europe and America.The main challenges to China's private label lie in private brand operations management. Among them, how to select the correct product categories, how to make pricing decision, how to restructure channels and how to coordinate supply chain after introducing private brands are four operations management problems need to be solved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is broadly accepted that supply chain members which can jointly optimize their decisions, using techniques such as joint economic lot-sizing (JELS), will always produce equal or superior total profits than those supply chains which do not cooperate. In addition to increased profits, cooperation offers other established benefits. The majority of research has explored the use of coordination mechanisms (e.g. quantity discounts) to improve on purely competitive (arms-length) arrangements in supply chain purchase contracts. Though the use of these mechanisms can potentially improve profits, they often fail to offer any substantive guidance in implementing the proposed solution. Further, the JELS solution proposals often presuppose a spontaneous and effective coordination effort led by one or both supply chain parties. However, research has shown that very little meaningful cooperation occurs in practice. This thesis proposes and explores the novel use of an expert third party to assist in coordination and cooperation efforts of a contract-based dyadic (supplier-buyer) relationship. It is shown that coordination using a third party can, not only ensure optimal profits for the entire supply chain, but also provide significant contributions to the extant body of knowledge. These benefits include consideration of intangible factors such as neutral arbitration and protection of confidential information. An updated cost model accounts for many costs not typically considered in lot-sizing problems, including the introduction of the seller's costs of commitment and contract costs. Numerical studies via simulation are performed to add insight into the implications of the updated model. Sensitivity and algebraic analyses are included for selected scenarios.
