The impact of information sharing and ordering co‐ordination on supply chain performance
TLDR
In this paper, the impact of information sharing and ordering co-ordination on the performance of a supply chain with one capacitated supplier and multiple retailers under demand uncertainty is investigated.Abstract:
This paper presents a study on the impacts of information sharing and ordering co‐ordination on the performance of a supply chain with one capacitated supplier and multiple retailers under demand uncertainty. In particular, a computer model is proposed to simulate inventory replenishment decisions by the retailers and production decisions by the supplier under different demand patterns and capacity tightness. It is found that information sharing and ordering co‐ordination significantly impact the supply chain performance in terms of both total cost and service level. It is also found that the value of sharing information and ordering co‐ordination is significantly affected by demand patterns and capacity tightness. Guidelines are developed for companies to share information and co‐ordinate orders under different conditions. These guidelines can help companies reduce costs and improve customer service levels in the supply chain.read more

Accessing information sharing and information quality in supply chain management
Suhong Li,Binshan Lin +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that both information sharing and information quality are influenced positively by trust in supply chain partners and shared vision between supply chain partner, but negatively by supplier uncertainty.

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.

Quantifying the Bullwhip Effect in a Simple Supply Chain: The Impact of Forecasting, Lead Times, and Information
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the effect of the bullwhip effect on simple two-stage supply chains consisting of a single retailer and a single manufacturer and demonstrate that the effect can be reduced by centralizing demand information.

Quantifying the bullwhip effect in supply chains
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the magnitude of the problem by establishing an empirical lower bound on the profitability impact of the bullwhip effect and show that eliminating the effect can increase product profitability by 10 to 30%.

The impact of exponential smoothing forecasts on the bullwhip effect
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that the use of an exponential smoothing forecast by the retailer can cause the bullwhip effect and contrast these results with the increase in variability due to the using of a moving average forecast.

An OT2 Algorithm for the NI/G/NI/ND Capacitated Lot Size Problem
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the properties of the optimal solution for the capacitated dynamic lot size problem and developed the concept of candidate subplan, which is proven that only the candidate subplans need to be examined in searching for an optimal solution.
