TLDR
In traditional supply chain inventory management, orders are the only information firms exchange, but information technology now allows firms to share demand and inventory data quickly and inexpensively, and it is concluded that implementing information technology to accelerate and smooth the physical flow of goods through a supply chain is significantly more valuable.Citations

Book ChapterDOI
Supply Chain Coordination with Contracts
TL;DR: This chapter extends the newsvendor model by allowing the retailer to choose the retail price in addition to the stocking quantity, and discusses an infinite horizon stochastic demand model in which the retailer receives replenishments from a supplier after a constant lead time.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Value of Information Sharing in a Two-Level Supply Chain
TL;DR: In this article, a simple two-level supply chain with nonstationary end demands is analyzed and the authors show that the value of demand information sharing can be quite high, especially when demands are significantly correlated over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perspectives in supply chain risk management
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of various quantitative models for managing supply chain risks and relate various supply chain risk management strategies examined in the research literature with actual practices, highlighting the gap between theory and practice, and motivate researchers to develop new models for mitigating supply chain disruptions.

Environmental management and manufacturing performance: The role of collaboration in the supply chain
Stephan Vachon,Robert D. Klassen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of environmental collaborative activities on manufacturing performance was examined using a survey of North American manufacturers, and it was found that the benefits of collaborative green practices with suppliers were broadest, while collaboration with customers yielded mixed outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extending green practices across the supply chain: the impact of upstream and downstream integration
Stephan Vachon,Robert D. Klassen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors aim to extend the collaborative paradigm beyond a supply chain's core operations to peripheral, non-core areas such as the natural environment and examine the antecedents of green supply chain practices.

Information distortion in a supply chain: the bullwhip effect
TL;DR: The authors analyzes four sources of the bullwhip effect: demand signal processing, rationing game, order batching, and price variations, and shows that the distortion tends to increase as one moves upstream.

Optimal Policies for a Multi-Echelon Inventory Problem
Andrew J. Clark,Herbert E. Scarf +1 more
TL;DR: The problem of determining optimal purchasing quantities in a multi-installation model of this type, which arises when there are several installations, is considered.

Value of Information in Capacitated Supply Chains
TL;DR: In this paper, information flow between a supplier and a retailer in a two-echelon model that captures the capacitated setting of a typical supply chain is considered, and the authors estimate the savings at the supplier due to information flow and study when information is most beneficial.

A Single-Item Inventory Model for a Nonstationary Demand Process
TL;DR: An adaptive base-stock policy for a single-item inventory system, where the demand process is nonstationary, is considered, for which an exponential-weighted moving average provides the optimal forecast.
