Designing cooperation mechanisms for supply chains
The paper defines generic requirements towards cooperative planning in the nucleus of any supply network that is constituted by a pair of autonomous manufacturer and supplier who possess asymmetric information on demand forecast and costs, respectively. Then a novel way is suggested for investigating this problem by means of the apparatus of mechanism design. The analysis results in some provab...
متن کاملMitigating Inefficiencies in Humanitarian Supply Chains
As disaster response becomes more complex, entities involved in humanitarian operations also increase in numbers and sophistication. Humanitarian actors are beginning to see the value that an efficient supply chain can bring. However, participating actors are faced with competition for funding and often do not cooperate with each other, which produces inefficient outcomes at the expenses of the...
متن کاملContracts and Capacity Investment in Supply Chains
Suppliers are often reluctant to invest in capacity if they feel that they will be unable to recover their initial investment costs in subsequent negotiations with buyers. In theory, a number of different coordinating contracts can solve this issue and induce first best investment levels by the supplier. In this study, we experimentally evaluate the performance of these contracts in a twostage ...
متن کاملDesigning Supply Chains Using Optimization
This chapter studies the strategic decision making problem regarding the design of a distribution network and the definition of material flows. In particular, we consider the Two-Echelon Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem (TUFLP). In a general case, the problem is defined as follows. A firm may have relatively few products and a number of plants. Products are shipped from plants to markets...
متن کاملDesigning and Managing Multiple Supply Chains
In this paper a perspective is taken which treats traditional supply chains and mass customisation as opposite ends of the delivery spectrum. This leads logically to a response to the emerging requirement that “One Size Does Not Fit All” by selecting, engineering, and operating multiple pipelines tailored to the needs of the marketplace. This in turn suggests a “postponement matrix” as a tool f...
