“…In practice, retailers in direct contact with consumers may withhold true information from manufacturers, resulting in supply chain inefficiencies. Recently, the development of blockchain technology provides a new solution for addressing the key problem of information sharing [13]. Therefore, the impact of blockchain technology on the dual-channel supply chain will be left for future research.…”

This study investigates the markdown pricing strategies for a manufacturer and a retailer in a twoperiod dual-channel supply chain, where the manufacturer sells its products via its own direct channel and an independent retail channel to strategic consumers who may wait for markdowns. A two-period game is developed to systematically study the optimal regular prices and markdown prices under four cases, i.e., no markdown in both channels, markdown only in the direct channel, markdown only in the retail channel, and markdowns in both channels. By comparing the different cases, we find that the manufacturer benefits most from the case with markdowns in both channels, where the markdown rate of the retail channel is lower than that of the direct channel. On the other hand, the results indicate that the retailer may also profit most from the case with markdowns in both channels when the consumer acceptance of the direct channel is sufficiently high; otherwise, the retailer enjoys the highest profit under the case with markdown only in the retail channel. Finally, it is found that strategic consumer behavior has a positive impact on the retailer’s profit but a negative impact on the manufacturer’s profit.

“…These same authors also consider different issues connected with information sharing and technologies, which in their approach, are treated as one coordination mechanism. In modern approaches, in many cases, the blockchain is also considered a technology with high potential to improve the reliability of information flows in logistics networks [24]. In approaches connected with centralization and a leading node, the crucial issues are about developing proper coordination mechanisms.…”

Currently, there is still a strong trend in research and in the market connected with the role of 3PL (third-party logistics) companies and the trend of developing and creating coordination in logistics networks. The most important issue for the following paper is the examination of the 3PL enterprise, which is able to create the demand forecasts to gain the functions of logistics coordination in the fields of inventory management and transportation planning. This research paper focuses on showing the demand forecasting tool results for 29 chosen distribution networks (in this paper, the traditional forecasting methods were used based on time series exponential smoothing, ARIMA, machine learning and neural-network-based methods, created in the R programming environment). In the next steps, the forecasting results were compared in the conditions of transportation planning and inventory management (in the conditions of “future” dynamic ABC analysis). The forecasting function supports the inventory management and transportation planning activity of 3PL as a key element of logistics coordination in distribution networks. The proper way to transfer the results of forecasting to an ABC analysis and transportation planning concept is to create a cloud-based system supported by data from the WMS (warehouse management system), while providing the possibility of results visualization by using some BI (business intelligence) solutions or different tools to create managerial information dashboards. Currently, one of the most efficient models connected with logistics coordination is the centralized network with 3PL responsible for planning and executing logistics processes with the creation of additional value. As such, 3PL is able to create a similar forecast for different types of DN and with different aggregations (per SKU or per recipient). It could support coordination in DN from the point of view of inventory management and transportation planning.

Technology license sharing strategy for remanufacturing industries under a closed-loop supply chain management bonding

Remanufacturing is getting attention nowadays due to increasing waste and corresponding emissions. One of the important factors of remanufacturing is the quality of the remanufactured products. The collection and distribution of used products require proper management. Based on this situation, this study discusses a hybrid closed-loop supply chain management in cooperation with a hybrid production system. The vendor comes up with the policy of sharing remanufacturing responsibility by sharing the technology license with other supply chain players. The carbon cap restricts emissions from the entire hybrid production system of the vendor. Other factors of this proposed study are service by the retailer and quality, gift policy, and customer awareness by the vendor. This study examines the scenario under random market demand. Classical optimization provides the solution under the Stackelberg game policy where the vendor acts as leader and the retailer & third party act as followers. This paper considers two scenarios: Scenario A for a continuous distribution and Scenario B for no specific distribution. A comparison is drawn between various motivating factors-based policies to control supply chain management.
