This study investigates the channel coordination issue of a supply chain with a risk-neutral manufacturer and a loss-averse retailer facing stochastic demand that is sensitive to sales effort. Under the loss-averse newsvendor setting, a distribution-free gain/loss-sharing-and-buyback (GLB) contract has been shown to be able to coordinate the supply chain. However, we find that a GLB contract re...

T coordination of supply chains by means of contracting mechanisms has been extensively explored theoretically but not tested empirically. We investigate the performance of three commonly studied supply chain contracting mechanisms: the wholesale price contract, the buyback contract, and the revenue-sharing contract. The simplified setting we consider utilizes a two-echelon supply chain in whic...

This paper develops a dynamicmodel in a one-supplier-one-retailer fresh agricultural product supply chain that experiences supply disruptions during the planning horizon.The optimal solutions in the centralized and decentralized supply chains are studied. It is found that the retailer’s optimal order quantity and the maximum total supply chain profit in the decentralized supply chain with whole...

Coordination in multi-agent system is very essential, in order to perform complex tasks and lead MAS towards its goal. Also, the member agents of multi-agent system should be autonomous as well as collaborative to accomplish the complex task for which multi-agent system is designed specifically. Contract-Net Protocol (CNP) is one of the coordination mechanisms which is used by multi-agent syste...

Perishable and short-life products can be seen everywhere in life. Due to the particularity of these products, they are more complicated supply chain management. This paper studies whether two-part tariff ZRS contract achieve purpose reducing risks coordinating chain. We assume that market demand supplier yield uncertain, we use game theory probability distribution for research. The research re...

Design crowdsourcing is the largest open innovation model that can create value with potential consumers. It offers an opportunity to quickly respond market by obtaining instant designs from crowd, freelancing designers fundamental skills. In addition, it secure globally innovative competitiveness without financial burden, which more effective start-up companies and small medium enterprises (SM...

The pricing strategy of agricultural products not only affects the product demand and purchasing behavior consumers, but also income distribution node enterprises overall profit supply chain. This paper studies chain with farmer cooperatives as core enterprise. Considering heterogeneous this introduces degree characteristics establishes a dynamic model for under decentralized decision-making ce...
