Information Systems and Coordination in Supply Chains

2013 46th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2013
The evolution of information systems from transaction-oriented systems to more collaborative systems has created enormous efficiencies in supply chains and distribution channels. The performance of these supply chains depends critically on the rules for information sharing and governance of the relationships.

Supply Chain Logistics Platform as a Supply Chain Coordination Support

2016
Modern logistics platform paradigm positively effects development of enterprises. Over time several types of logistics platforms have developed. One of them is supply chain logistics platform, which is essential to reduce the overall cost of logistic activities between supply chain partners, to improve the overall efficiency of logistics and to ...

Coordination of the supply chain of seasonal products

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics - Part A: Systems and Humans, 2001
Because of the demand uncertainty of seasonal products, the retailer prefers to place an order as late as possible, so that he can have enough time to collect more information, which is helpful to reduce demand forecast error. On the other hand, the manufacturer has limited production capacity in general cases.

Coordination in the Supply Chain

2015
Coordination has become a significant factor of the integration of various parts of the organization as well as various organizations of the supply chain. This seems to be a key factor in the success of logistics management. It is also an element allowing for a common list of tasks to be accomplished as well as common objectives to be achieved in the ...

Distributed search for supply chain coordination

Computers in Industry, 2009
This paper studies the case of a supply chain made up of autonomous facilities (represented by software agents). They need to coordinate their manufacturing operations in order to optimize customer satisfaction. Most of the coordination mechanisms used in practice can be described as heuristics.

Coordination Strategies in an SaaS Supply Chain

Journal of Management Information Systems, 2010
The computing industry is gradually evolving to cater to the demand for software-as-a-service (SaaS). Two core competencies that have emerged over the past few years are that of the application service providers (ASPs) and the application infrastructure providers (AIPs).

Coordinating multiple agents in the supply chain

Proceedings of WET ICE '96. IEEE 5th Workshop on Enabling Technologies; Infrastucture for Collaborative Enterprises, 2002
The agent view provides a level of abstraction at which we envisage computational systems carrying out cooperative work by interoperating across net worked people, organizations and machines. A major challenge in building such systems is coordinating the behavior of the individual agents to achieve the individual and shared goals of the participants ...

Double marginalization and coordination in the supply chain with uncertain supply

European Journal of Operational Research, 2013
Abstract This paper explores a generalized supply chain model subject to supply uncertainty after the supplier chooses the production input level. Decentralized systems under wholesale price contracts are investigated, with double marginalization effects shown to lead to supply insufficiencies, in the cases of both deterministic and random demands ...

Contracts and coordination: Supply chains with uncertain demand and supply

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), 2016
AbstractConsidering a supply chain with a supplier subject to yield uncertainty selling to a retailer facing stochastic demand, we find that commonly studied classical coordination contracts fail to coordinate both the supplier's production and the retailer's procurement decisions and achieve efficient performance.
