Abstract:
Supply chain exchange relationships are complex and sometimes chaotic sociological and organisational phenomena. This complexity is compounded by the boundary spanning necessity of forming supply chain partnerships that are further exacerbated by goal divergence and asymmetric information. One of the main questions for consideration is how these dyadic exchange relationships are maintained and develop over time in response to the various channel behaviours of the actors (the buyer and seller)? In particular, exchange relationships are theorised to be sensitive in some degree to attempts at eco

The reliability and quality of suppliers' components are inevitably two factors that impact the performance of the supply chain. Stochastic reliability affects the final production quantity and hence makes it more difficult to predict the manufacturer's best ordering quantity as opposed to the simpler traditional news vendor model. In addition, the quality of suppliers' products directly influence the potential demand in the market. Hence every firm in the supply chain system faces the needs to invest time, money and effort to improve the product quality even though it may bring a higher pr

Abstract:
The paper shows that taking inventory control out of the hands of retailers and assigning it to an intermediary increases the value of a supply chain when demand volatility is high. This is because an intermediary can help solve two incentive problems associated with retailers\' inventory control and thereby improve the intertemporal allocation of inventory. Adding an intermediary as a new link in a supply chain is also shown to reduce total inventory, to make shipments from the manufacturer less frequent and more variable in size, as well as to reduce social welfare.

This dissertation analyzes the economic incentives involved in three distinct supply chain and revenue management decision environments. The first study examines the adoption of the percent deviation contract in a supply chain to induce the buyer to share some of the demand risk in an environment in which the buyer would typically place her order when she has full knowledge of the customer demand levels. The subgame-perfect Nash Equilibrium decisions are characterized, and the percent deviation is shown to achieve full supply chain channel coordination in cases where a simpler contract cannot.

It shows that the external supplier reliability and the external consumer demand are the major factors of the uncertainty. This study uses fuzzy sets to explain the uncertainty of linear supply chain, and its major goal is to determine the order quantities for each inventory in the supply chain, that give an acceptable service level of the supply chain at reasonable total cost (to minimize both holding cost and shortage cost in each stock period). In addition, two con

Abstract:
<p>A payment scheme specifies when payments are made between firms in a supply chain. It has direct implications on how supply chain inventory is financed and managed. Longer supply chains due to globalization and the recent credit crisis have increased the pressure to make financing the supply chain more efficient. It was recently reported that 81% of UK firms say that market conditions have brought procurement and finance strategies in closer alignment. Meanwhile, information technology platform advancements provide opportunity for increased variety of payment schemes. It is therefore import

Abstract:
In this thesis we study problems in the context of inventory control and facility location. In chapter 2 we study the competition among risk averse newsvendors. We showed that the well-known result for the single-product monopoly firm, which states higher risk aversion causes the firm to reduce its order quantity, cease to hold under the competition. We concluded that the higher risk aversion does not necessarily cause both firms to reduce their order quantity. We showed that the impact of risk aversion on equilibrium quantities is a trade-off between two effects: (a) Own risk aversion increme

Abstract:
Firms outsource productive tasks to different locations in order to exploit factor price differentials and gain efficiencies from specialization. However, the benefits of outsourcing come with two risks. The first problem occurs when firms share their pre-existing intellectual property (IP) such as database and trade secrets with contractors. While IP is shared to facilitate the outsourcing project, the contractor may behave opportunistically and misappropriate the IP for its own benefit. Since firms derive significant value from their IP, this can lead to severe economic damages in terms of r

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>工業工程學研究所<br>105<br>With the development of Internet and e-commerce, the issue of information sharing is considered the most important key to the cost savings. Through information sharing, it can help the upstream player, which is manufacturer predict the demand of the market accurately. Further, it can reduce the costs of excess inventory or the costs of out of stock. It can also reduce a great influence of the bullwhip effect. In the past, although there are a lot of methods to use information sharing to save the cost, it does not combine the current trend to allocate the cost

Except cooperative advertising, the manufacturer uses the national advertising to strengthen the brand image and the retailer stimulates consumer’s buying behavior by the local advertising. Therefore, the main reason for the manufacturer to use cooperative advertising is to motivate immediate sales, and for the retailer is to reduce his total advertise
