Supply Chain Coordination under Disruptions by Quantity Flexibility Contract

摘要

The supply chain coordination responding to disruptions is a very important research field in the theory of supply chain coordination. It researches conventional disruption when market demand shrinks or expands and unconventional disruption through quantity flexibility contract by prescribing the quantity flexibility rate of the commodity which the supplier gives to the retailer. The study shows that when there is conventional disruption that the market demand shrinks then the supplier and the retailer can reach supply chain coordination and the quantity flexibility rate will not work. In contrast, when there is conventional disruption that the market demand expands the supply chain coordination can be reached only on certain restrictive conditions and when there is unconventional disruption, then can't.
