The rate of change in machine states is much larger than the rate of fluctuation in demand and the rate of discounting of costs, and this gives rise to a limiting problem in which the stochastic machine availability is replaced by the equilibrium mean availability. The value function for the original problem converges to the value function of the limiting problem. Moreover, the control for the original problem can be constructed from the optimal controls of the limiting problem in a way which guarantees asymptotic optimality of the value function. The limiting problem is computationally more tractable and sometimes has a closed form solution.","PeriodicalId":369181,"journal":{"name":"Operations Strategy eJournal","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116298419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bassok","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1021602","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1021602","url":null,"abstract":"We examine a decentralized supply chain supply chain in which a single assembler buys complementary components from n suppliers and assembles the final product in anticipation of demand. Players take actions in the following sequence. First, (Stage 1) the suppliers form coalitions between themselves. Second, (Stage 2) the coalitions compete for a position in the negotiation sequence. Finally, (Stage 3) the coalitions negotiate with the assembler on allocations of the supply chain's profit. We model the multilateral negotiations between the suppliers and the assembler sequentially, i.e., the assembler negotiates with one coalition at a time. Each of these negotiations is modeled using the Nash bargaining concept. Further, in forming coalitions, we assume that players are farsighted. We then predict, at equilibrium, the structure of the supply chain as a function of the players' relative negotiation powers. In particular, we show that the assembler always prefers the outcome where suppliers do not form coalitions. However, when the assembler is weak (low negotiation power) the suppliers join forces as a grand coalition. But when the assembler is powerful, the suppliers stay independent, which is the preferred outcome to the assembler.","PeriodicalId":369181,"journal":{"name":"Operations Strategy eJournal","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131426445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, an overview of the advancements in supply chain management is presented. In the initial section, alternative definitions and key issues related to supply chain management are presented followed by a discussion of complexities associated with managing supply chains. Subsequently, major inefficiencies of poor supply chain management are discussed. Finally, a brief summary of research activity to date and a discussion of future challenges related to supply chain management are presented.","PeriodicalId":369181,"journal":{"name":"Operations Strategy eJournal","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115490059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
