Information Sharing and Channel Construction of Supply Chain under Asymmetric Demand Information

Information Sharing in a Supply Chain Under ARMA Demand

I this paper we study how the time-series structure of the demand process affects the value of information sharing in a supply chain. We consider a two-stage supply chain model in which a retailer serves autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) demand and a manufacturer fills the retailer’s orders. We characterize three types of situations based on the parameters of the demand process: (i) the manu...

Supply Chain Sourcing Under Asymmetric Information

We study a supply chain with two suppliers competing over a contract to supply components to a manufacturer.

Revenue Sharing Contract in a Multi-Echelon Supply Chain with Fuzzy Demand and Asymmetric Information

In this paper, we consider the revenue sharing contract between supply chain actors in a multi-echelon supply chain, where the demand of the customers and retail price are fuzzy variables. The centralized decision making system and a coordinating contract, namely, the revenue sharing contract with fuzzy demand and asymmetric information are proposed. To derive the optimal solutions, the fuzzy s...
