Nowadays, the market competition is among the supply chains rather than among the enterprises. In the supply chains, the information sharing, the replaning period and their interactions all have impacts on the supply chain performance. In this paper the study on the impact of the information sharing, replanning interval on the performance of a supply chain with one capacitated manufacturer and four retailers was presented. A computer model was developed to simulate the supply chain. The object-oriented C++ language was used to process the simulation program. The production status, the inventory status and the sale status were observed in the process of the program simulation. The output from the program were analyzed by the statistically software, to get the conclusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
