Today, global competition entails companies having an advantage in supply chain networks to pursue superior performance. This work examines the link between information technology (IT) capability with firm performance by adopting a lean production approach, vendor-managed inventory, and practices. The study has surveyed population of manufacturing company East Java, Indonesia, using questionnai...

For the best implementation of (vendor-managed inventory) VMI, a vendor must choose optimal combination suppliers that can better meet criteria environmental problems. In controls some retailers' inventory decisions. This study aims to select in green VMI and assign orders them. this study, selects by accounting for various factors, including quality delivery reliability, reduction return perce...

The combined operation of distribution and inventory control achieved through a vendor-managed inventory strategy creates a synergetic interaction which benefits supplier and customers. Inventory-Routing Problems (IRPs) arise when inventory and routing decisions must be taken simultaneously, which yields a difficult combinatorial optimization problem. While most IRP research deals with a single...

Since 90s, the healthcare sector has changed rapidly. These changes oblige the healthcare sector to adopt the management principles applied by the other sectors. Many studies have been realized to reveal and emphasize the significant competitive advantage and cost reduction resulting from supply chain management (SCM) practices. However, the healthcare industry has been extremely slow to embrac...

This paper examines and compares various manufacturing policies which manufacturer may adopt so as to improve the performance of a vendor managed inventory (VMI) partnership. The goal is to maximize the combined cumulative profit of supply chain while minimizing relevant inventory management costs. The supply chain is a two-level system with a single manufacturer and single retailer at each lev...

Campbell Soup’s Continuous Replenishment (CR) program is a novel innovation designed to improve the e¢ciency of inventory management throughout the supply chain. With CR: (1) retailers pay a constant wholesale price but continue to participate in consumer promotions; (2) retailers transmit to the supplier daily inventory information, via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI); and (3) the supplier a...

This paper recommends a scaling factors fine-tuning fuzzy logic control approach to optimize the dynamic performance of one typical vendor managed inventory supply chain with automatic pipeline, inventory and order based production control system(VMI-APIOBPCS), based on complex fuzzy control theory. The first thing is to embed a dual-input single-output fuzzy logic controller into the system ba...
