This paper mainly proposes a coordination mechanism for supply chain system containing multiple retailers and one supplier. According to the proposed mechanism, lateral transshipments are performed among while revenue-sharing contract is used allocate revenue caused by transshipment. Meanwhile, buy-back coordinate retailer We use with supplier two as an example demonstrate effectiveness of mech...

In this paper, the authors focus on examining the coordination mechanisms for a two-stage supply chain comprising one supplier and one retailer. The authors consider such a channel relationship that the transaction quantity between the two members is sensitive to the supplier’s inventory level and that the supplier’s unit inventory holding cost has a linear stepwise structure. They devise a coo...

A critical challenge to creating effective open multi-agent systems is allowing them to operate effectively in the face of potential failures. In this paper we present an experimental evaluation of a set of domain-independent services designed to handle the failure modes ("exceptions") that can occur in such environments, applied to the wellknown "Contract Net" multi-agent system coordination p...

In industrial districts social norms are as important as formal institutions in coordinating actors’ behaviour. While the literature on agro-industrial districts has generally stressed the role of trust, the paper states that power can be as effective as trust in solving coordination problems stemming from contract incompleteness and opportunistic behaviours. The paper presents the results of a...

We explore coordination issues of a two-echelon supply chain, consisting of a distributor and a retailer. The effect of revenue-sharing contract mechanism is examined under stock-time-pricesensitive demand rate. First, we investigate relationships between distributor and retailer under noncooperative distributor-Stackelberg games. Thenwe establish analytically that revenue sharing contact is ab...

The marketing and operations management arms in a firm must work in coordination – marketing efforts to create demand go to waste if supply is suboptimal, and vice versa. However, achieving this coordination has remained a long-standing problem, because in most firms these units are managed in a decentralized manner. A major source of conflict is that marketing compensation is usually heavily w...

Adopting the concept of mental accounting, the paper analyzes loss-aversion retailer’s optimal order quantity under buy-back contract in the two-stage supply chain, and proves the existence and uniqueness of the optimal order quantity. Conclusions show: under the certain degree of loss aversion, there exists a unique repurchase price to achieve supply chain coordination; meanwhile, the system’s...

In recent times, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) have become two of the most discussed sectors in Information Technology, with each having made a major impact. This has generated space for further innovation to occur convergence technologies. this paper, we gather, analyse, present detailed review AI DLT vice versa manner. We how is impacts by focusing on AI...
