Evaluation On Information Sharing Level Between Manufacturer And Supplier

Information sharing is not only the key factor to supply chain management, but also the current hotspot of supply chain management research. Currently, research on supply chain information sharing focuses on the value analysis of information sharing, designing corresponding optimal incentive mechanism to ensure the realization of information sharing and how to utilize the information sharing technology to promote information sharing and so on. With the raising of information sharing level, it costs more to share information and to certain extent, it may leak enterprises'commercial secrets among supply chain. Information sharing level between companies in different supply chain is different. Accurate evaluation on information sharing level and improving the weak link of information sharing has become an important topic worth studying.In this paper, we mainly carry research on the information sharing level between manufacturers and suppliers in supply chain. Based on the reading and sorting on previous supply chain information sharing literature, we establish a set of evaluation index system about information sharing level between manufacturers and suppliers from 5 aspects, including hardware facilities of manufacturer,level of information.In addition, we have conducted a preliminary evaluation on Jiangling Motors Corporation by using AHP and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method.We have established the designing and manufacturing BP neural network model on information sharing level between manufacturers and suppliers, by using 20 manufacturing companies'results evaluated by AHP and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to train and test the network;and by using V-fold Cross-Validation method to verify the BP neural networks'generalization ability. In this paper,we analyze information sharing level between manufacturers and suppliers from a more comprehensive and quantitative point of view in order to find the main factors influencing information sharing level.The limits of growth archetype on information-sharing constraint factors between manufacturers and suppliers are built, and the corresponding management measures are given.
