Several suppliers of oil and gas (O & G) equipment and services have reported the necessity of making frequent resources planning adjustments due to the variability of demand, which originates in unbalanced production levels. The occurrence of these specific problems for the suppliers and…

This work analyses partial information sharing involving retailers with different operational configurations. Retailers are characterized by four operational factors, i.e., demand variance, lead time average, forecasting period and inventory policy. The findings show that the performance…

This paper analyses the impact on supply chain performance of adopting different strategies to implement partial information sharing among heterogeneous retailers. Supply chains are modelled using a multi-agent systems approach. We find that the strategy adopted to construct the partial…

The planning of a supply chain (SC) subject to market demand uncertainty is challenging in regards to defining update mechanisms that deal with demand variations. This study addresses this challenge and proposes a new reorder point update procedure for order-up-to-level (OUTL) policies in…

A large number of problems in a distribution supply chain require that decisions are made in the presence of the bullwhip effect phenomenon. The impact of the order batching policies on the bullwhip effect is analysed in this paper, when cycle demand on a multi-echelon supply chain operating is…

This paper analyzes how order batching policies impact on the bullwhip effect over a multi-echelon distribution supply chain facing cyclic demand. As a demand cycle is repeated over the time planning horizon, a wrapping around operator is considered and based on this a single cycle is required to…

The goal of this paper is to quantify the impact of Inventory Record Inaccuracy on the dynamics of collaborative supply chains, both in terms of operational performance (i.e. order and inventory stability), and customer service level. To do so, we model an Information Exchange Supply Chain…
