This paper studies the cost distribution characteristics in multi-stage supply chain networks. Based on the graphical evaluation and review technique, we propose a novel stochastic network mathematical model for cost distribution analysis in multi-stage supply chain networks. Further, to investigate the effects of cost components, including the procurement costs, inventory costs, shortage costs...

Coordination between organizations on strategic, tactical and operation levels leads to more effective and efficient supply chains. Supply chain management is increasing day by day in modern enterprises.. The environment is becoming competitive and many enterprises will find it difficult to survive if they do not make their sourcing, production and distribution more efficient. Multi-agent suppl...

Supply chain maturity models attempt to disseminate best practices in supply chain management (SCM). One basic idea behind these models is that increased maturity will lead to improved supply chain performance, which in turn will lead to improved financial performance. There is, however, little empirical evidence about the relationship between supply chain (SC) maturity and financial performanc...

As firms search to maximise value through the effective management of their various business activities, it is increasingly important to identify and understand the key factors that can significantly impact on the performance of the supply chain. The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model enables to identify four distinct processes (plan, source, make and deliver) that constitute a supp...

Research on performance measurement in humanitarian supply chains is scant. Experiences with developing performance measures in commercial environments show that it is particularly important to understand linkages between higher level goals and performance measurement, for example through using strategy maps in for-profit organisations or mission maps in non-profit organisations. In this articl...

The SCOR-Model is one of the most applied reference models to support the description of supply chains. It owes its wide dissemination particularly the activities of the Supply chain council with its close to 1.000 members from practice and research. The paper investigates potentials for future extensions of the model. On the basis of an explorative survey of 20 professionals a framework for ex...

To study the impact of fundamental flow and background harmonics on harmonic and resonance characteristics of high-speed train-network coupling systems, harmonic admittance matrix model for four quadrant converter is deduced with the method of FFT and Bessel function. Equivalent load of train and chain network model of multiple conductors was established to conduct the calculation of fundamenta...

The ordering model between single supplier and multi-retailers under the circumstance of non-cooperation supply chain is discussed in this paper, an improved linear price discount strategy is also provided. This strategy considers two situations of incremental discount and decremental discount at the same time. Moreover, Stackelberg game model of both parties’ order on supply and demand is give...
