Coordinated management strategies

Chapter 2 focuses on a literature review and on research gap identification. Studies related to SCM, SCP, uncertainties in SC, SC mapping and integration, information sharing strategies, coordinated management strategies, optimisation and the current status of SCM in China are reviewed. Based on those reviews, the research gap is identified. 

IRAC was formed in 1984 to provide a coordinated crop protection industry response to prevent or delay the development of resistance in insect and mite pests. The mission of IRAC is to promote the development of resistance management strategies in crop protection, vector control and in other areas of insecticide use so as to maintain efficacy and support sustainable agriculture and improved pub-... 

Fifthly, a SOGA and MOGA tool were developed to optimise several parameterised operational strategies in various scenarios. The experimental results from the tools enabled the impact of coordinated management on SCP to be quantified. 

Chapter 9 discusses the simulation-based experiments using the SOGA tool which are undertaken under parameterised operational strategies, which investigated the impact of the coordinated management mechanism on SCR... 

A range of coordinated management mechanisms have been developed and applied to business operations in the last two decades. With the emphasis on information sharing and inventory management, the best coordination mechanisms include (s, S) policy, JIT strategy, VMI and CPFR. 

These two issues are considered in the following chapters. First of all, a generalised SC model from the discussed case studies will be developed in the next chapter. Then in later chapters, a set of SCM strategies, based on information sharing and coordinated management mechanisms with the aim to improve and optimise the SCP, will be presented and evaluated. 

This chapter will define the concepts of information sharing and coordinated management used throughout this research. A range of simulation experiments is undertaken to evaluate non-parameter-ised operational strategies to investigate the impact of information sharing on SCR... 

The simulation-based optimisation experiments using the MOGA tool under parameterised operational strategies have been investigated, and as a result, the impact of a coordinated management mechanism on SCP has been observed. If the SC partner cooperates more, the SCP can improve more, for example, the PM-VMI strategy... 

Secondly, it focused on a set of specific non-parameterised and parameterised strategies selected to manage the SC system. Other types of management strategies may be interesting. In addition, the implementation costs of information sharing and coordinated management mechanisms were not incorporated within the research.
