Decentralized Supply Chains Coordination under Uncertain Competitiveness

The coordination of decentralized multi-site multi-product manufacturing SCs is achieved through Scenario-Based Negotiations (SBNs) based on expected winwin principles in an uncertain competitive environment. Based on the nonsymmetric roles of the different actors, the client (SC leader) is supposed to propose coordination contracts according to its best expected conditions, taking into account...

VMI-type Supply Chains: a Brief Review

The primary purpose of this paper is to highlight for the research community and practitioners the various aspects of using VMI-type supply chains in today’s business environment as well as a number of directions for future studies. In this regard, fifty articles published in major international journals, beginning in 1995, which contribute to the VMI-type supply chains are reviewed via a syste...

Negotiations Provider-Client for Supply Chains Coordination under Competitiveness

Current tactical models of Supply Chains (SC) associate the conflicts among independent SCs with the uncertain behaviour of external echelons (third parties). Although the trend now arises to solve these conflicts using multi-objective optimization and game theory, typical analytical models do not consider the benefits of uncertainty reduction obtained when a supply/demand contract is agreed, w...
