1 A Geeralzed rder-up-to Polcy ad Alrusc Behavor a Three-level Supply Cha Takamch Hosoda ad Sephe M. sey Cardff Busess School UK Absrac: Assumg a sochasc exeral marke demad hs research sudes he beef of he order coordao a serally lked hree-level supply cha. Each player s cos s represeed by he fe horzo sadard devao of he ed of perod e sock levels. To represe he acvy of a player a supply cha he geeralzed order-up-o polcy proposed by Hosoda ad sey 006a s exploed. I s show ha o mmze he oal supply cha cos he aude of he frs level player o cos creases s esseal. Ths ype of order coordao s called alrusc behavor here ad ca produce a large cos reduco more ha 0% o he overall supply cha. A coordao model whch may be more applcable praccal segs s also roduced wh hs beef. Keywords: order-up-o polcy alrusc behavor order coordao Iroduco A order coordao polcy based o he rder-up-to UT polcy ha mmzes he oal veory coss for a hree-level supply cha wll be examed. or a sgle level of a supply cha assa 955 roduced a orderg polcy wh a Work I Progress WIP feedback loop ad showed ha hs orderg polcy mmzes he varace of he ed of perod e sock levels. I addo assa showed ha he mmzed varace of he ed-perod e veory level s decal o he varace of he error he forecas of demad over he lead-me plus revew perod. I hs research assa's orderg polcy s called as he radoal UT polcy. rom assa's semal corbuo s obvous ha a sgle level supply cha case he radoal UT polcy s a opmal polcy for mmzg he varace of he ed of perod e sock levels over me. I a mul-level supply cha scearo however mgh be reasoable o assume ha a sequece of radoal UT polces may o be opmal aymore as here s o guaraee ha a successo of local mmzaos wll resul a global opmum as show Hosoda ad sey 006a. Sce he radoal UT polcy does o provde I should be oed ha several researchers adop a alerave expresso for he UT polcy ha explos a me varyg UT arge see ee e al. 000 for example however he dyamcs gve by hese wo exposos s decal as show Hosoda ad sey 006b.

Ths brgs more flexbly o aler he dyamcs of he orderg process ad shows ha a sequece of radoal UT polces s o loger opmal. They also show ha o ejoy he cos savg he aude of he frs level player o cos creases s a esseal facor. They call hs aude alrusc behavor. I hs chaper he model show Hosoda ad sey 006a wll be exeded o a hree-level supply cha model ad he beef of he alrusc behavor ad roles of he frs ad he secod level players a hree-level supply cha wll be aalyzed. I addo as a bechmark for performace comparsos a sequece of hree radoal UT polces supply cha model show Hosoda ad sey 006b wll be used. eraure revew As a ype of supply cha coordao formao sharg has bee suded by may researchers. However couer-uvely o all resuls suppor he beef of formao sharg. Graves 999 sudes a wo-level supply cha wh he UT polcy ermed adapve base-sock polcy hs paper a o-saoary demad process IMA process wh Mmum Mea Square Error MMSE forecasg. Graves fds ha sharg demad formao brgs o beef o he upsream player f he upsream players kow he coeffces of he cusomer demad process.

They coclude ha sharg demad daa ca sgfcaly reduce he coss upper-sream players of he supply cha. However he beef s lmed whe he upper-sream player has a large amou of hsorcal order daa as by explog hs daa he upper-sream player ca mprove s forecas accuracy. Assumg a kow demad process ad he MMSE forecas Raghuaha 00 repors smlar resuls ha he se of order hsory daa coas all he ecessary formao o allow he upper-sream player o reduce hs coss. Assumg a AR demad process ee e al. 000 develop a wo-level supply cha model ad vesgae he beef of demad formao sharg. Uder her assumpo ha he maufacurer uses oly he laes observed demad formao s forecas hey coclude ha he maufacurer ca oba veory ad coss reducos wh formao sharg. Hosoda e al. Readers are ecouraged o vs our web se hp:// o see how he alrusc behavor brgs he beefs o a supply cha. or he deals of a MMSE forecasg see Box e al. 994.

3 008 vesgae he beef of sharg he marke demad formao usg a se of daa obaed from a real real supply cha. I s show ha here s a beef of formao sharg ad a source of such beef s he error erms whch are orgally hdde he marke demad process ad dffcul o exrac whou shared marke demad formao. I addo o formao sharg some researchers have aalysed operaoal coordao of supply chas such as edor Maaged Iveory MI. Ths feld of research has araced abuda aeo sce he lae 990s. sey ad Towll 00a develop a wo-level MI supply cha model ad compare he measured bullwhp wh a radoal serally lked supply cha. They repor ha he MI scheme ca subsaally reduce he bullwhp. I her MI scheme formao abou he frs-level sock level he goods ras he secod-level sock level ad he reorder po s used o deerme he arge veory level. Usg her MI model sey ad Towll 00b vesgae each of he poeal sources of he bullwhp proposed by ee e al They show ha wo of he four causes; he raog game ad order bachg ca be compleely elmaed by he adopo of MI scheme a supply cha ad oher wo causes also ca be reduced sgfcaly. Avv ad edergrue 998 sudy he beefs of a MI scheme usg a wo-echelo supply cha model cossg of a sgle suppler ad J realers. They sudy hree scearos: a radoal deceralsed sysem a MI sysem ad a sysem wh full formao sharg bewee players. Uder he MI program he mg ad magude of he repleshme shpmes o he realers are decded by he suppler o he bass of he full formao gve by all realers. A comparso was made ad hey coclude ha he MI program where formao o veory levels s also shared has much more poeal ad ca reduce coss by 4.7% o average. The beefs of MI agas he full formao sharg scearo become larger whe capacy s gh sce MI scheme eables he suppler o crease s ulzao rae. Usg a serally lked wo-level supply cha wh a AR marke demad Hosoda ad sey 006a vesgae he mpac of alrusc behavor o he overall supply cha cos. To realze alrusc behavor a he frs level hey roduced a radoal UT polcy wh a sgle proporoal coroller he sysem feedback loop. Ths proporoal coroller eables us o mapulae he order placed by he realer o acheve lower oal supply cha cos. The sum of he sadard devaos of e sock levels a each level was used as a objecve fuco o be mmsed. I s suggesed ha alrusc behavor by he frs level player mgaes he bullwhp effec ad hs lower bullwhp s he source of he beef a he secod level. Also he cos beef a he secod level s large eough o compesae he loss a he frs level. I s show ha o average more ha 0% cos reduco ca be acheved.

4 Some researchers assume ha he secod level player ca modfy he frs level player s order paer by offerg ceves ad fd ha he frs level player should be alrusc o acheve lower oal coss. I hs wolevel supply cha model Gavre 006 assumes ha he suppler ca aler he paer of orders placed by he realer by offerg flucuag prces. As he resul of hs ceve he realer s orderg paer s o opmum for self aymore ad hus he realer s cos wll crease. However he beef a he suppler s suffce eough o compesae he crease a he realer. The overall supply cha performace ca be mproved by 5% o average wh he ad of formao sharg. uo 007 cosders a coordao scheme a wo-level supply cha cossg of a vedor ad a buyer. The vedor asks he buyer o chage s order quay o acheve lower se up orderg ad veory holdg coss of he vedor. To covce he buyer a cred perod ceve s offered by he vedor. I s show ha he beef o he vedor s always greaer ha he loss of he buyer so ha hs cooperao scheme ca brg he beefs o overall supply cha. rom hese wo papers mgh be reasoable o coclude ha he ype of ceves for he frs level player affecs he oal amou of savg coss. her ceves o ecourage he frs level player o cur cos crease clude quay flexbly Tsay 999 quay dscous Weg 995 ad reveue sharg Gaoccaro ad Poradolfo 004. The leraure revew suggess some useful sghs o our problem. rs sharg marke demad formao may brg beefs o a supply cha bu he amou of such beef s o clear. I our model herefore o egae he beef comg from sharg he marke demad formao s assumed ha up-o-dae marke demad formao s shared ad commo kowledge he supply cha. Ths assumpo eables us o focus o he beefs oly from he alrusc behavor. Secodly mgh be beer o assume a ceralzed supply cha model o quafy he beef of he alrusc behavor. I he case of a deceralzed supply cha ceves ad/or a way of redsrbuo of he geeraed beefs may sgfcaly affec he behavor of each player a supply cha. The ceralzed supply cha assumpo allows us o gore such ssues. Therefore we wll assume ha he supply cha here are o ceve coflcs all ecessary formao s shared ad all players wll cooperae o mmze he oal cos. The model A serally lked hree-level supply cha sysem s aalyzed. All hree players explo a perodc revew sysem ad he repleshme lead-me s cosa ad kow. The orderg polcy used here s he UT polcy. The UT level s adjused each me perod accordg o he laes updaed demad forecas ad he shared formao. The kowledge

5 abou he marke demad process capured by he frs level player s shared wh all oher players whou delay. I s assumed ha he rue marke demad process s correcly capured. The cos parameers ad he orderg polces he supply cha are commo kowledge.. Sequece of eves ad coss The sequece of eves ay perod a ay level s as follows: he order placed earler s receved ad he demad s fulflled a he begg of he perod he e sock level s revewed ad orderg decso s made a he ed of he perod. We wll ow descrbe he hree-level supply cha model where each level uses he UT polcy wh he MMSE forecasg scheme. We assume a perodc revew polcy bu do o assume a specfc legh of he revew perod. All of he resuls here are cosse whaever revew perod s adoped day week moh ec.. We wll use he subscrp = o represe he level of he supply cha. I s assumed ha he coss he supply cha are drecly proporoal o he sadard devao of he e sock level a each level as Hosoda ad sey 006a. Therefore he objecve fuco used hs research ca be wre as J. where represes he sable varace of he e sock level a h level of he supply cha.. Marke demad e us assume he demad paer faced by he realer s a AR process. The AR demad process assumpo s commo whe auocorrelao exss amog he demad process.

Some addoal ceves for he frs level player may be ecessary sce he overall beef compleely depeds o he degree of alrusc behavor gve by he frs level player. To overcome ceve coflc ssues a supply cha Scearo s cosdered. Scearo may be a case of a hree-level supply cha ha s govered by wo orgazaos: he frs level veory s maaged by a realer ad boh secod ad hrd level veores are maaged by a suppler for example. The realer's cocer s o mmze s ow veory relaed coss. The suppler's eres s o mmze he sum of he veory relaed cos a boh secod ad hrd levels. The realer ca help he suppler by provdg up-o-dae marke demad formao. To acheve he goal depedely he realer may use he radoal UT polcy whch mmzes s ow sadard devao of e sock level ad he suppler corporaes o he UT polcy a he secod level ad employs he radoal UT polcy a he hrd level o mmze s oal veory relaed coss.

Therefore Scearo could brg a w-w suao a supply cha easly wh less dffculy mplemeao ad operao. There mgh be some challeges o ejoy he beef.
