A distribution system including a manufacturer and two independent retailers, who use advertisement to compete for end customers, was studied in this paper. The retailer's commodity demand volume is influenced by competitor's advertising input as well as by his own. Then in the new situation, how are the retailers's advertising input policy? How do manufacturers make the replenishing policy to different retailers? Which factors influence and how to influence the choice of marketing channel? These questions are the main research contents of this paper

After recent food scandals and incidents, the design and implementation of traceability systems from farms to forks has become an important task for the food industry. For many food businesses, traceability is seen as a daunting task with few financial benefits. However, traceability can create competitive advantages. The key issue to add values on traceability is to integrate the traceability system with the supply chain management processes and use the traceability data to manage the business process and improve its performance. Beyond traditional understanding of traceability values, more potential benefits can be achieved. An illustrative case study is presented with proposed integration frameworks

Business managers are consistently searching for best channels, displaying locations and product packaging to attract purchasing behaviors of the consumers. However, with the change of the structure of society and industry, TV shopping has become a new and popular channel that is valued worldwide. It has become one of the major channels that consumers make their purchases. This study focuses on the key success factors (KSF) of the TV shopping industries in Cross-Straits. Using analytical hierarchy process (AHP), we find the KSF in Cross-Straits. This study finds that the top ten KSF in Cross-Straits are somewhat not in the same order

Logistic planning and programming of construction machinery involves complex sets of objectives and constraints; therefore traditional approaches typically result in a large monolithic model that is difficult to solve, understand, and maintain. In order to tackle large, particularly combinatorial, problems in logistic support for construction machinery, we design a constraint programming system, namely DISPDESK, which comprises a specification generator and its underlying domain-specific architecture, an algorithm library and its selector, a pre-defined solution library and a problem solver. The system features separation of concerns in specifications, little requirements for programming skills, domain-specific optimization, and semi-automatic generation of high-performance and reliable problem solvers

The majority of new services are provided to the consumer through several coordinated and contributing agents acting together. This paper is concerned with improving our understanding of firms' knowledge procurement that involves several contributing and coordinated agents. The "distributedness" of knowledge procurement varies in physical proximity and takes a variety of organizational arrangement, and their analysis brings to the fore the significance of firms' strategy tailored to the collaboration with a specific economic agent. Based on our empirical research, the analysis opens up considerations on how firms can effectively procure knowledge from public R&D institutes. In contrast to the case of collaboration with universities, the paper concludes that firms can benefit from collaborating with capable public R&D institutes irrespective of the physical proximities between firms and their partnering institutes

Most business incubators have the problem of being lack of knowledge service. By studying the critical factors in knowledge service advantage of incubator, we could better understand and grasp incubator, and enhance the advantage of incubator knowledge service. The paper firstly analyzes the contents and characteristics of incubator knowledge service, and then studies the effect of knowledge deployment and knowledge network in the knowledge service advantages building of incubator. The paper obtains the follow conclusions: 1) theoretical explanation of facility for knowledge integration and deployment from incubator industrial cluster, 2) incubator knowledge network is a demand-matched, dynamical and smooth network, hence it can effectively transfer and transmit enterprise incubation knowledge, 3) knowledge deployment and knowledge network are two critical factors in knowledge service advantage building of incubator

The current trends and recent changes in logistics lead to new, complex and partially conflicting requirements for logistic planning and control systems. Due to the distributed nature of logistics the usage of agent technology is promising. Due to the mobile nature of logistics the usage of mobile agent technology is promising as well. Scenarios of usage of mobile agents in logistics are presented, a notation for those scenarios is defined and it is shown analytically in which cases the usage of mobile agent is superior to conventional communication. The main variable under study is the fan out, which is the number of partners a mobile agent needs to communicate with

A variant VRP problem is introduced by considering available multi-period customer demand and split delivery, where the split delivery strategy is used to cope the periodic fluctuation of customer demand, that the demand exceeded the vehicle capacity may be fulfilled by the identical fixed route traveled in different period. The objective is to minimize the total operational cost including the traveling cost, the split delivery cost, and the fixed cost of fleet size. A genetic algorithm-based approach augmented with the dynamic programming is developed to solve the described problem. This paper is unique in considering multi-period demand of customers and addressing the reduction of workload variation by the split delivery strategy. Computational results find the proposed approach significantly outperforms in the reduction of total distance traveled and the number of vehicles utilized over the planning horizon

Under unrestricted traffic conditions, some information in the road network causes travelers have delayed response when making route choices. Consequently some travelers have to adjust their route choices more than once en route. But existing assignment methods failed to take into account this phenomenon. This paper analyzes the characteristics of the information causing delayed response (DRI) and the travel patterns under its influence. To quantitatively represent the influence, a study region is stratified to various regular or irregular rings as sub-areas where possible change in route choice may happen. And the traffic volume between an OD pair is segmented to reflect the possibilities of the travelers who adjust their route choices in the rings. Then a refined multi-path traffic assignment method is presented and some relevant issues are discussed as well
