Failure Risk and Quality Cost Management in Single versus Multiple Sourcing Decision
The advantage of multiple sourcing to protect against supplier failures arising from undependable products due to latent defects is examined using a model with non-linear external failure costs. Prior research has focused only on supplier failures arising from unreliable supply, such as late/insufficient/no delivery. I derive a closed-form characterization of the optimal production quota alloca...
متن کاملSingle versus multiple supplier sourcing strategies
Successful supply chain management necessitates an effective sourcing strategy to combat uncertainties in both supply and demand. In particular, supply disruption results in excessive downtime of production resources, upstream and downstream supply chain repercussions, and eventually a loss in the market value of the firm. In this paper we analyze single period, single product sourcing decision...
متن کاملSingle versus Multiple Sourcing: Drivers of Supplier Diversification
This paper considers a monopolistic manufacturer that makes supplier selection and ordering decisions in a setting in which suppliers are unreliable. We find that the manufacturer’s optimal decision to diversify orders across multiple suppliers might not only arise as a result of managing supply risk, but it could also be due to the concavity of the manufacturer’s revenue function or due to the...
متن کاملOn risk and cost in global sourcing
The benefits of global sourcing as part of a firm’s purchasing strategy have been widely discussed in the academic literature, yet so there are few models that provide a comprehensive risk and cost assessment to guide managerial decision-making. In particular, few models capture the dynamic nature of many cost drivers, such as transportation and energy cost, labour cost inflation, or carbon off...
متن کاملSingle sourcing versus dual sourcing under conditions of learning
This paper considers a buyer who has to decide whether to select a single or two sources of supply for a homogeneous product. The production processes of the suppliers are subject to learning effects, which reduce the production costs and increase the production capacities of the suppliers. This, in turn, enables the suppliers to reduce the sales price, which results in lower acquisition costs ...
