The benefit of information sharing in a logistics outsourcing context

摘要: The goal of this article is to examine the value information sharing in outsourcing logistics activities. Our examination context a fairly complex network which location and capacity carriers are considered. current research also examines moderating effect settings on benefit sharing. A core component our methodology use computational experiments provide variety conditions under we investigate value. investigation involves comparing two strategies, namely full no Underlying procedures optimise each strategy. based exact methods that combine integer linear programming with exhaustive enumeration. To gauge robustness insights, applied formal analysis variance techniques data from numerical experiments. obtained insights helpful managers for selecting appropriate service providers level exchange.
