Unreliable Sources Of Supply Of Perishable Goods Order Strategies

This article is produced with the aim to maximizing the profitability of the distributors, briefly explained the importance of supply chain management in the perishable product procurement process, at the same time studied the possible strategic that distributors need to adopt to improve the overall supply chain management efficiency and profitability under the random market demand. Investigated one of the chains in the perishable products supply chain management ( The Procurement strategic of perishable products ) with the target of maximizing the enterprise expected profitability.First,3 classic modules been set up under the assumption that all demands would be fulfilled with the stable supply sources. i.e Fixed Qty procurement module; fixed lead time procurement module and single life cycle procurement module --- News boy module ( All above 3 modules are without the consideration of price impact ).Secondly, Under the uncertain supply source environment, Established 3 unstable supply sources modules towards radon demands, i.e Lead-time unstable module; Quality unstable module and both lead-time plus quality unstable moduleBy using the combination method of theatrical analysis and practice analysis, Established the basic assumption for the practical problems. Produce the mathematic module combine the differential method with results, performed a complete analysis and simulation towards the results, and reached the relevant conclusion. The conclusion shows the inverse ration between the distributors'max order qty and max expected profitability with the defect rate and delay delivery assumption.At the same time by investigation on one particular distributor, using the data analysis experiment studied the impact from the unstable elements to order quantity and expected profitability. A conclusion is also reached.Last, further analysis is also performed to analyze the situation under the unstable environment, The distributor adopt a Procurement strategic with multi supplier and or products, Using the unstable supply source profitability formula, i.e. Quality;...
