Distribution Of Benefits Of Supply Chain Companies

With the development of science and technology, with the changing of market environment in recent years, the competition between companies has become the competition between supply chains. Many supply chain management thoughts and technologies arise in this condition. The core thoughts of supply chain management are cooperation and sharing. Supply chain management is to enhance one company's competitiveness, and promote its operation efficiency and depress its costs. The profit-driven is an important reason for the company's joining in a supply chain. But whether the profit-allocation's reasonable or not will influence the stability of the supply chain, and also the Long-term partnership. As a supply chain company, what he get from cooperation must not less than what he can get when he's not in the supply chain. We discuss the reasonability of profit allocation and the allocation patterns from the following four aspects:First, beginning from the principals and the influential actors of the allocation of supply chain profit, the principals and the influential factors of the allocation are presented first. The main factors are: investment, dedication, risk and diligence. At this basic, the usual models of supply chain profit allocation are presented: the proportional methods based on invest/risk, Shapely value method, and methods based on Nash bargaining and asymmetry Nash bargaining model. Give that the classic Shapely value doesn't consider the companies' risks, we mended it.Secondly, we explore this topic from the aspect of principal-agent theory: to avoid the conflicts between supply chain companies when allocating profits, we discussed the linear inspirit problem based on the outcome-sharing pattern.At last, we discussed our topic using the revenue-sharing(RS) contract: Based on the most usual RS models in two-echelon supply chain, we discuss it from the aspect of: demand is sensitive-with price, demand is sensitive with promotion effect, the retailer is Risk-averse. And we gained the requirements for supply chain coordination in all those conditions. Further more, we considered the stock-holding cost, the cost of out of stock, and the item salvage cost in the modeling process.
