This paper studies the effect of altruism on retailer’s and manufacturer’s pricing strategy in two classic dual-channel supply chains by presenting Stackelberg game models. The analysis shows that the player’s altruism preference strongly affects their pricing strategies. The more altruistic one player is, the more profits the other player obtains. Moreover, the effect of manufacturer’s altruistic preference is larger than that of retailer’s. In addition, online price is always lower than offline price in dual-channel supply chain, which still holds true considering altruism. The results also reveal that the product web-fit has significant effect on the player’s optimal pricing strategies. The more compatible with online market the product is, the lower the retail price is set, and the more profit the manufacturer obtains whereas the less the retailer gets.展开更多

This paper discusses the strategies of green supply chain based on the concept of circular economy which was promoted in China as a new development strategy to alleviate the shortage of resource supply by improving the resource productivity and eco-efficiency of production and consumption,which will accelerate the economic transformation from the traditional supply chain to the green supply chain.展开更多

At first,we decompose this problem into two sub-problems (distribution and routing) plus an interface mechanism to allow the two algorithms to collaborate in a master-slave fashion,with the distribution algorithm driving the routing algorithm. At second,we describe the proposed improved orthogonal genetic algorithm for solving giving problem detailedly.

One of its implements is establishing a virtual ente rprise (VE) around the task, where each manufacturing unit, or sub-task, probab ly have at least one resource, or referred to as suppliers. Because each manufac turing unit might be carried out in different geographical places that implies t his probably gives rise to transportation cost, the selection of resources for e ach manufacturing unit must considers not only the manufacturing price of each r esource but also the transfer cost between any two potential resources. This pap er discusses the resource reconfiguration problem with two hypotheses: 1. Permit s one or more resources to attend the same manufacturing unit as long as the tot al cost can reach its least; 2. The freight contains the initial part, that is t he freight concave. Indeed, these hypotheses are much meaningful in the real wor ld. Furthermore, to simplify the solution for this problem, we propose two conce pts: assembly tree (AT) and combinatorial mode base (CMB). Formally an AT is a c omplete production line, which can ensure the parts equilibrium, and its capacit y is subjected to the least capacity of every resources and every path in it. In the end, we propose an implicit enumeration algorithm (IEA) by the use of CMB, including it is a heuristic algorithm for integer programming (HAIP) by the use of AT. The IEA can be outlined that for a determined combinatorial mode, if it h as not enumerated, we use the HAIP to get an near optima and corresponding CMB, marking every combinatorial mode extended from the CMB as enumerated, other cont inue a new iteration. The HAIP can be outlined that for a determined combinatori al mode, there are some determined number of AT, we select an AT with the le ast slope, and select the volume of this AT to its ultimate within its capacity, iterates this doing until the needed volume reached. In the end, we conclude th is paper and prospect the deep research based on GA thought.展开更多

The characteristics of the design-manufacture interface were analyzed, and several methods of the design-manufacture interface relationship management were compared. Based on theories concerned and enterprise practice, how to manage the relationship of design-manufacture interface to reduce the product cost and shorten the time-to-market was demonstrated, finally the competitive advantage was improved.展开更多

The manufacturer is in charge of recollecting and re-disposal the used products. Demands of ultimate products and collecting quantity of used products are described as the function of prices and reference prices. A non-linear dynamic pricing model for this closed-loop supply chain is established. A numerical example is designed, and the results of this example verified the model’s validity to price for the operation of closed-loop supply chain system.展开更多
