Game-based learning has proven to be an effective teaching method in a variety of fields, including supply chain management (SCM). This paper discusses the use simulation-based business games for training and education SCM by evaluating complexity games. The main contributions this study are twofold. (1) Creation database available used SCM. For first time, 40 were selected, comprehensive revie...

Planning of an optimal product family architecture (PFA) plays a critical role in defining an organization's product platforms for product variant configuration while leveraging commonality and variety. The focus of PFA planning has been traditionally limited to the product design stage, yet with limited consideration of the downstream supply chain-related issues. Decisions of supply chain conf...

Abstract Considering the low-carbon supply chain led by one manufacturer and followed retailer, market demand is influenced investment of product promotion degree emission reduction. Stackelberg game theory used to construct models with no-incentive model three incentive models, respectively. The equilibrium solutions products promotion, reduction, demand, cost-sharing ratio retailer’s governme...

This paper investigates the Stackelberg equilibrium for pricing and ordering decisions in a multi-channel supply chain. We study a situation where a manufacturer is going to open a direct online channel in addition to n existing traditional retail channels. It is assumed that the manufacturer is the leader and the retailers are the followers. The situation has a hierarchical nature and...

This paper outlines the quality inspection strategies in a supplier–buyer supply chain under a customer return policy. This paper primarily focuses on product quality and quality inspection techniques to maximize the actors’ and supply chain’s profits using game theory approach. The supplier–buyer setup is described in terms of textile manufacturer–retailer supply chain where quality inspection...

With the constant changes of the market demand trends and modern information technology which greatly influence supply chain operation and management, postponement has been developed to be an important strategy in some of the supply chain processes. This paper studies the multi-period and multi-commodity flow supply chain network equilibrium problem with postponement strategy under a type of su...

The goal and challenge of Shortfall is for students to learn to minimize environmental impact while maximizing profit. The auto industry manufacturing supply chain allows exploration of relationships among design considerations, supply chain management, environmental issues, research and development, and profitability. Although the supply chain in the game is simplified, students can experience...

In this paper, we consider the relationship between supply chain network equilibrium and transportation network equilibrium. We demonstrate that a supply chain network equilibrium model introduced earlier can be reformulated as a transportation network equilibrium model with elastic demands through a supernetwork reformulation of the former. This equivalence allows us to transfer the wealth of ...

We describe a supply chain management board game which is the first of its kind to illustrate the concepts of shortage gaming, synchronization of the flow of parts, demand uncertainty and its impact on location selection, and customer service. The game in which students assume the roles of supply chain enterprises, builds skills in both decision-making and the execution of operations plans. The...
