Demand forecasting is one of the key causes bullwhip effect on product orders. Although this aspect order oscillation not ignored, current study focuses another critical oscillation: inventory, i.e. net inventory variance amplification. In particular, paper studies a two-level supply chain in which demand price sensitive, while follows first-order autoregressive pricing process. We derive analytical expressions orders and using minimum mean-squared error, moving average exponential smoothing...

Information sharing has been shown previously in the literature to be effective reducing magnitude of bullwhip effect. Most these studies have focused on a particular information-sharing setting that assumes demand follows an autoregressive process. In this paper, we contribute by presenting price-sensitive model and first-order pricing process is coupled optimal order-up-to inventory policy minimum mean-squared error forecasting technique. We compare no – which only first stage supply chain...

Quality improvement and price-matching are two commonly used competing strategies by the retailers. However, it is still unclear how retailers should deliberate over when selling in both online offline markets. In this paper, we consider dual-channel a substitutable product to consumers Especially, compete market, their markets exclusive themselves. We establish game-theoretical model investigate trade-off between quality competition, impact on retailers' profits consumer surplus market...

Purpose This paper aims to determine whether relationship quality should be measured as a disaggregated or composite construct, and investigate the causal between customer involvement. The authors also explore role of involvement in quality-performance linkage B2B settings. Design/methodology/approach study is based on 214 Chinese manufacturers uses structural equation model examine this conceptual hypotheses. Findings As reflective second-order not only has positive effects performance but...

This article considers a two-stage supply chain consisting of supplier and two competing multichannel retailers examines their channel pricing strategies. The wholesales product to the who resell consumers with different preferences. can either operate online offline channels separately apply differential strategy, or choose integrate adopt unified strategy. We establish game-theoretical model derive optimal wholesale price equilibrium retailing prices retailers, investigate impact consumer...

As prices fluctuate over time, a strategic consumer may buy more in advance to reduce his or her future needs anticipation of higher the future, choose postpone purchase lower future. We investigate bullwhip effect from price forecasting behavioural perspective context simple two-level supply chain composed supplier and retailer. consider two different forms for demand function – linear iso-elastic functions, both depending on multiple periods. Assuming that retailer employs an order-up-to...

Purpose From the dedication–constraint perspective, this study aims to complement ongoing discussions on effects of switching costs performance and explain role customer involvement relationship quality in between performance. Design/methodology/approach After collecting data from Chinese manufacturing firms, authors employed structural equation modeling test their theoretical model incorporating costs, new product development performance, involvement. Findings The findings show that...

In this study, we explore the causes and performance outcomes of switching costs in context new product development (NPD) from both supplier customer perspectives, discuss role that play as moderators mediators relationship between social capital NPD performance. Based on data 214 Chinese manufacturers, employ structural equation model to test our conceptual hypotheses. The results indicate quality involvement positively negatively affect costs, respectively, Switching mediate moderate...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the influence product innovation novelty on relationship between customer involvement and new development (NPD) cost performance. Design/methodology/approach authors use organizational information processing theory adopt hierarchical regression slope difference test assess relationships constructs hypotheses. Findings evaluate concept from perspectives suppliers customers infer that these two types exert a moderate effect NPD First, for...

This research attempts to complement ongoing discussions on the effects of firm innovativeness performance and explain role external involvement in relationship between B2B settings. More importantly, we investigate effect supplier involvement, customer interaction both process innovativeness, how take Using perspective organizational information processing theory, apply hierarchical regression examine moderation performance. Findings show that settings strengthens positive performance,...

This study considers a supply chain consisting of commodity supplier and final product manufacturer with uncertain demand. In addition to purchasing from the through forward contract, can adjust their inventory by trading in an online spot market after observing actual However, is imperfect that transactions cannot be certainly realized come additional transaction costs. Furthermore, price volatile such overly relying on unwise. To investigate how affects decisions coordination chain, we...

In order to improve the manufacturing efficiency and reduce logistics cost of automobile shop, this paper adopts method system layout planning (SLP) optimize body shop. We firstly analyze characteristics shop then establish a multi-objective programming model minimizing material handling costs maximizing degree activity relation with unfixed position main aisle, entrance exit. design an improved genetic algorithm based on Pareto optimal concept solve mathematical model. An experiment shows...

In the digital era, online advertising fraud unfortunately undermines and pricing cooperation in supply chains. order to improve effectiveness a chain with manufacturer retailer, this paper proposes three coordination mechanisms: cooperative quality improvement (CQ), discount (QD) combination of two (CQD). We derive equilibrium decisions closed form under each mechanism. show that improving is always profitable for members, QD included (either or CQD) can better coordinate than CQ alone....

In this study, we explore the causes of switching costs from both supplier and customer side, discuss performance outcomes in setting new product development, investigate role that play as moderators mediators social capital-new development linkage.Based on data 214 Chinese manufacturers, employ structural equation model to examine our conceptual hypotheses. Our results indicate relationship quality involvement separately positively negatively affect costs, respectively, which affects...

Most domestic automobile manufacturers always keep a great amount of inventories generally because the expansion production capacity. In order to cope with problem, attempt transfer inventory risk 4S stores by means distributing sales target stores. This leads sharp increase in its stores' inventories, and game between two sides on coefficient is getting more intense. Based obtained data through investigating self-owned brand inventory, this paper puts forward feasible database-based...

Omnichannel firms regularly share information between their multiple channels (e.g., online vs. physical store), i.e., horizontal sharing, to improve operational and financial performance. As often tends be error-prone -- when it is collected, transmitted, or both a firm may want re-evaluate sharing strategy in the presence of erroneous information. We construct analyze multi-period inventory management model with autoregressive uncertain demands that are linked two an omnichannel firm. find...
