This paper is considering the competition between two multi-echelon supply-chains on price and service under balance and imbalance of market power between the chains which are analyzing through Nash and Stackelberg game approach. The problem is categorized as the centralized or decentralized structure of each chain, which means a few different possible scenarios are developing based on the Nash...

O2O (Online to Offline) business model, a kind of new business model between online and offline channel, is put forward by some innovative enterprises. Supply chain decision under O2O business model completely changes price competition in traditional dualchannel supply chains. Operation strategies in O2O supply chains such as price discrimination and service free-riding have become important is...

On the morning of September 11, 2001 the United States and the Western world entered a new era – one in which indiscriminate terrorist acts of all kinds must be expected. Many, if not most, of the expected consequences of the new era will be reflected in supply chain management challenges: relations with suppliers and customers, transportation difficulties and revised inventory management strat...

The objective of this paper is proposing a developed balanced scorecard approach to measure supply chain performance with the aim of creating more value in manufacturing and business operations. The most important metrics have been selected based on experts’ opinion acquired by in-depth interviews focused on creating more value for stakeholders. Using factor analysis method, a survey research h...

supply chain network   receding horizon control demand move suppression term   supply chain networks are interconnection and dynamics of a demand network. example subsystems, referred to as stages, include raw materials, distributors of the raw materials, manufacturers, distributors of the manufactured products, retailers, and customers. the main objectives of the control strategy for the suppl...

[feng yang, dexiang wu,liang liang, gongbing bi & desheng dash wu (2009), supply chaindea:production possibility set and performance evaluation model] definedtwo types of supply chain production possibility set which were proved to beequivalent to each other. they also proposed a new model for evaluatingsupply chains. there are, however, some short...

This perspective has aligned whole organizations to central goals of continuing, customer-focused improvement. When looking to their own suppliers, these organizations naturally applied a similar perspective, one that aligns whole supply or value chains to central goals focused on the ultimate customers of these supply chains. As suppliers came to play a more and more integral part in efforts t...

This paper is focused on continuum-discrete models for supply chains. In particular, we consider the model introduced in [10], where a system of conservation laws describe the evolution of the supply chain status on sub-chains, while at some nodes solutions are determined by Riemann solvers. Fixing the rule of flux maximization, two new Riemann Solvers are defined. We study the equilibria of th...
