This study focuses on evolutionary game analysis of supply chain (SC) strategies with fairness concerns. First, the equilibrium solutions under eight combined are obtained through Stackelberg game. Subsequently, theory is applied to analyze stability these and discuss strategy tripartite The suggests that effect distributional concerns SC pricing differs from peer-induced in short term. Implant...

We study a game model of multi-leader and one-follower in supply chain optimization where n suppliers compete to provide a single product for a manufacturer. We regard the selling price of each supplier as a pre-determined parameter and consider the case that suppliers compete on the basis of delivery frequency to the manufacturer. Each supplier’s profit depends not only on its own delivery fre...

In this paper, we develop a static electric power supply chain network equilibrium model with known demands and establish the equivalence between the model and a transportation network equilibrium model with fixed demands over an appropriately constructed supernetwork. This equivalence yields a new interpretation of electric power supply chain network equilibria in path flows. We then exploit t...

Supply chain management has been described as an integration of business process that is associated with operational management and marketing problems, such as inventory control, information sharing and supply chain coordination. Over the last few decades, researchers in the area of supply chain management have been very active in seeking optimal policies for supply chain members in order for t...

This paper studies the competitive and cooperative selection of inventory policies in a two-echelon supply chain with one supplier and N retailers. Stochastic demand is monitored continuously. Retailers incur inventory holding and backorder penalty costs. The supplier incurs holding costs for its inventory and backorder penalty costs for backorders at the retailers. The latter cost reflects the...

A game called the Quebec Wood Supply Game (QWSG) is a role-playing simulation based on the Beer Game for teaching supply chain dynamics, and, in particular, the bullwhip effect. In this context, this paper describes and compares two simulators based on the QWSG which may be used to study decision making and its impact on supply chain dynamics. We first focus on the direct implementation of the ...

We study a supply chain economy that comprises heterogeneous supply chains involving multiple products and competing for multiple markets. The proposed network model is built upon operation links and interface links, representing, respectively, substantial supply chain operations and coordination functions between the operations. The paper presents a variational inequality formulation of the pr...

We propose an economic supply chain model that accounts for typical inefficiencies resulting from low visibility of the flow of consumer goods. Using realistic numerical input values for the model, we illustrate how the profit distribution among manufacturer and retailer changes as item-level RFID is used for different purposes along the consumer goods supply chain. Applying basic Game Theoreti...

In a supply chain organized as a network of autonomous enterprises, the main objective of each partner is to optimize his production and supply policy with respect to his own economic criterion. Conflicts of interests and the distributed nature of the decision structure may induce a global loss of efficiency. Contracts can then be used to improve global performance and decrease risks. The purpo...

China’s publishing enterprise Agile Supply Chain has its own peculiarities. The authors elaborate the significance of building the Chinese publishing enterprise Agile Supply Chain based on dynamic alliance in the current highly competitive market, and then construct and analyze three models and their characteristics. At last the authors discuss some problems deriving from the information Game, ...
