Increasing Supply Chain Robustness through Process Flexibility and Strategic Inventory
This paper combines process flexibility and strategic inventory to develop an effective disruption mitigation strategy. We consider a manufacturer with multiple plants producing multiple products where strategic inventory can be held for any product. We measure the level of supply chain robustness by proposing the concept of Time-to-Survive (TTS) defined as the maximum time that no customer dem...
متن کاملIncreasing Supply Chain Robustness through Process Flexibility and Inventory
We study a hybrid strategy that uses both process flexibility and inventory to mitigate risks of plant disruption. In this setting, a firm allocates inventory before disruption while facing demand uncertainties; demand is realized after disruption, and the firm schedules its production using process flexibility to minimize lost sales. This interplay between process flexibility and inventory is ...
متن کاملDecision Support for Negotiations of Flexibility Contracts
Supply contracts are a medium for coordinating materials and information flows in supply chains aiming at reducing uncertainties, order variances, delivery lead times, and inventory risks with increased fill rates. Practitioners were always up-front involved in designing and negotiating clauses of so called quantity flexibility contracts. Meanwhile researchers have proved the advantage of such ...
متن کاملInvestigating commitment flexibility in multi-agent contracts
Reputation and commitment are important issues for automated contracting. Levelled commitment contracts, i.e. contracts where each party can decommit by paying a predetermined penalty, were introduced to allow self interested agents to accommodate events that unfolded since the contract was entered into. Various approaches to modelling reputation have been explored, allowing an agent to make de...
متن کاملComparing Process Flexibility with Inventory Flexibility via Product Substitution
This paper studies the optimal control of, interaction between, and relative value of two types of flexibility under Markov models of demand and production: process flexibility and inventory flexibility. In our model, process flexibility is generated by a multi-functional production facility that can produce two types of products, and inventory flexibility is manifested in firm-driven one-way p...
