One of the major uses of management games is as a learning tool to improve decisions made under dynamic uncertainty. This paper presents a web-based gaming mode simulation model of a supply chain concerning the procurement and supply of oil. The game mirrors the traditional oil supply chain consisting of Refineries, Storage Points, Depots and Retail Outlets. The computer controls the decisions ...

We model a real-world case problem as a price competition model between two leader-follower supply chains that each of them consists of one manufacturer and one retailer. T he manufacturer produces partially differentiated products and sells to market through his retailer. The retailer sells the products of manufacturer to market by adding some values to the product and gains margin as a fracti...

We model multistage competition in supply chains by a sequential game theoretical network. show the uniqueness of equilibrium for series parallel networks and provide linear time algorithm to compute equilibrium. study impact network structure on firms' payoffs, total trade flow, overall social welfare.

This article studies a supply chain composed of a manufacturer and two competing retailers. The manufacturer produces two substitutable products and offers respective service levels to customers who buy one of the two products. Each retailer can only order one kind of product from the manufacturer, and then sell them to the market at a certain sale price. The demands for two products are influe...

In this paper, we developed a supply chain network game theory model with differentiated products and transportation costs in the case of time-based oligopolistic competition. The firms are profit-maximizers and have, as their strategic variables, the product shipments and the guaranteed delivery times to the consumers at the demand markets with the guaranteed delivery times never exceeding the...

Balancing loss is the quantification of the lack of balance in a production line, defined as the percentage of time not used for productive purposes with the total time invested in making a product. The importance of this measure lies in its ability to assess perhaps the most problematic of all the detailed design decisions in product layout, namely that of line balanc ing . Achieving a perfect...

In view of the financing dilemma green innovation manufacturers in e-commerce supply chain, we build a strategy evolution game model between and platforms describe dynamic law choosing financing. Combined with numerical simulation, factors affecting decisions are analyzed strategic suggestions put forward. The conclusions as follows: (1) There is unique evolutionary equilibrium for behavioral d...
