Coordination and Risk Analysis of VMI Supply Chains With RFID Technology

摘要: RFID technology is an important tool in modern supply chain management. This paper analytically studies the use of a two-echelon single-manufacturer single-retailer with vendor managed inventory (VMI) scheme. First, models under retail replenishment problem and without are constructed. Second, both levels risk expected profits chains explored. Third, measures which can coordinate proposed. Fourth, comparisons between cases made. illustrates several managerial insights include: (i) when tag cost very small, employing yields improved larger profit smaller risk; (ii) there exist multiple return policies respective upper lower bounds identified; (iii) it beneficial for manufacturer to take initiative share retailer's implementation, this action not only help but also manufacturer's (iv) compared case RFID, rate coordinating policy be if appropriately shared retailer manufacturer.
