In supply chain management, the supply contract can induce collaboration and coordination among the supply chain members in order to optimize supply chain performance. Numerous supply contracts have been examined; however, some difficulties related to the application of these contracts still occur. One of the solutions is to apply the composite supply contract which can assist in the supply chain coordination. This research examines the composite contract of the revenue sharing and quantity flexibility contracts in a two-stage supply chain, which comprises a retailer and a supplier. In this research, a mathematical model of the composite contract is developed; then, the applicability of the proposed composite contract is examined by investigating its capability in terms of supply chain coordination and profit allocation. In the numerical experiments, the composite revenue sharing-quantity flexibility contract showed that it is superior to both component contracts in terms of supply chain coordination and profit allocation among supply chain members.

Purpose: Focusing on the complex supply chain operations beyond the simple dyadic relationship, this study evaluates the performance of the revenue sharing contract in three stage supply chain system. Research design, data, and methodology: The optimization model is developed to describe the supply chain system where one manufacturer, one wholesaler, and one retailer exist and pursue the maximum level of their own profits. In the numerical examples of the proposed supply chain model, two types of the revenue sharing contract, pairwise and spanning methods, are tested and their performances are compared with the traditional system. Results: The numerical analysis reveals that both types of the revenue sharing contract outperform the traditional system. All supply chain members can achieve the improved profits only when they determine the proper combination of revenue share ratios and price discount rates. Conclusions: This study finds out that both pairwise and spanning revenue sharing contracts can make the positive outcome that is acceptable to all members in three stage supply chain system. When the proper contract content is agreed among the supply chain members, the revenue sharing contract has the potential to be the practically feasible collaboration program for the multiple stage supply chain system.

본 연구는 하나의 공급자와 하나의 소매자가 구성된 분산화된 공급사슬에서 도매가 계약과 수익공유 계약, 수량유연 계약, 판매환급 계약을 비교·분석한다. 선행 연구의 결과에 따라 공급사슬 조정(coordination)이 이루어지는 각 조정 계약의 모수를 설정하였다. 이들 모수의 조합에 대해 @RISK를 활용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 공급사슬 조정을 이루는 상태 하에서 계약의 성사율과 각 계약에 유리한 참여자를 평가한다. 결과적으로 수량 유연 계약은 소매자 쪽에 가장 유리하고 판매환급 계약은 공급자 쪽에 가장 유리하다. 수익공유 계약은 공급자와 소매자의 이익 재배분에 가장 넓은 범위에서 선택할 수 있어 더 유연하게 사용할 수 있음을 밝혔다.

Irrational ordering decisions of supply chain members have been gaining growing importance in the area of supply chain management. Irrational ordering behaviors that deviate from the profit maximizing decisions in the newsvendor settings have observed with human experiments in recent research. These behaviors can be modeled with several typical decision bias elements. This bias in ordering decisions affects the performance of supply chain contracts designed based on the assumption that the supply chain members make optimal decisions, making it necessary to design supply chain contracts by considering the irrationality. The purpose of this research is to derive a method to design the revenue sharing contract that considers human irrationality in ordering decisions. This research considers a simple two-echelon supply chain consisting of one supplier and one retailer, where the supplier is assumed to be perfectly rational while the retailer making newsvendor type ordering decisions displays irrational ordering behaviors. Under this environment, this research analytically models the revenue sharing contract to maximize the total supply chain profit or the supplier's own profits while considering the three decision bias patterns of the retailer, which include the pull-to-center effect, the prospect theory, and the increased subjective sensitivity to the revenue sharing ratio. Irrationality parameters are measured through human experiments based on which and through numerical simulations, we showed that significant improvements in the supply chain performance can be achieved.

There are customer services jointly provided by two facilities so that each customer will complete the course made up of both facilities' sub-services. The two facilities are assumed invested respectively by an infrastructure owner and one subordinate facility owner, whose partnership is built on their capital investments. This paper presents a mathematical model of Stackelberg competition between the two facility owners to derive their optimal Nash equilibrium. In this study, each facility owner's profit is consisted of fixed revenue fractions of sold services, operating costs (including depreciation cost) and maintenance costs of her facility. The maintenance costs of one facility are incurred both by failures and deterioration due to usage. Moreover, for both facilities, failures are rectified immediately by minimal repairs and preventive maintenance is carried out at a fixed time epoch. Additional assumptions are also employed to develop the model such as customer arrivals are manipulated to follow a Poisson process, and each facility's lifetime is independently Weibull-distributed. The Stackelberg game proceeds as follows. At the first stage of decision making process, the infrastructure owner (acting as a leader) decides the allocation of revenue shares based on her self-interest. After observing the allocation of revenue shares, the subordinate facility owner determines her own optimal price of services. This paper investigates actions and reactions of the two partners in the system. Then analytical conditions are proposed to achieve a unique optimal Nash equilibrium. Finally, some suggestions for further research are discussed.

Purpose: This study developed a simulation model that incorporates the uncertainty of demand and yield to obtain optimized results for supply chain coordination within environmental constraints. The objective of this study is to examine whether yield management for perishable products can achieve the goal of supply chain coordination between a single buyer and a single supplier under a variety of environmental conditions. Methods: We investigated the efficiency of a revenue-sharing contract and a wholesale price contract by considering demand and yield uncertainty, profit maximizing ratio, and success ratio. The implications for environmental variation were derived through a comparative analysis between the wholesale price contract and the revenue-sharing contract. We performed Monte Carlo simulations to give us the results of an optimized supply chain within the environments defined by the experimental factors and parameters. Results: We found that a revised revenue-sharing contracting model was more efficient than the wholesale price contract model and allowed all members of the supply chain to achieve higher profits. First, as the demand variation (${\sigma}$) increased, the profit of the total supply chain increased. Second, as the revenue-sharing ratio (${\Phi}$) increased, the profits of the manufacturer gradually decreased, while the profits of the retailer gradually increased, and this change was linear. Third, as the quality of yield increased, the profits of suppliers appear to increased. At last, success rate was expressed as the profit increased in the revenue-sharing contract compared to the profit increase in the wholesale price contract. Conclusion: The managerial implications of the simulation findings are: (1) a strategic approach to demand and yield uncertainty helps in efficient resource utilization and improved supply chain performance, (2) a revenue-sharing contract amplifies the effect of yield uncertainty, and (3) revised revenue-sharing contracts fetch more profits for both buyers and suppliers in the supply chain.

제3자재원조달 계약의 과정이 1단계 신호발생 게임과 2단계 주인-대리인 게임 등 2단계 게임 모형을 통해 분석된다. 2단계 게임의 해는 역진귀납법을 통해 구해진다. 2단계 게임에서, 에너지절약기업의 최적 노력수준, 에너지 사용자의 최적 보상 체계, 그리고 두 경기자의 보수는 각각의 부분게임에서 도출된다. 이렇게 해서 도출된 각각의 부분게임의 최적해는 서로 비교된다. 그 결과 우리는 만약 에너지절약기업의 수입을 감소하는 비율로 증가시키는 누진적인 판매세와 같은 에너지절약기업의 수입에 대한 제약이 존재한다면, 최적 분배 비율은 선형 보상 체계에서 'I'보다 작은 수준에서 유일하게 결정된다는 것을 알게 되었다. 즉 유일한 균형이 존재한다는 것이다. 부분게임 각각의 경우에 대한 자기충족적인 유일한 균형은 분리균형인 바, 이 균형에서 에너지사용자는 높은 기술수준을 보유하고 있는 에너지절약기업(H형 ESCO)의 에너지진단 제안은 받아들이되, 낮은 기술수준을 보유한 에너지절약기업(L형 ESCO)의 진단제안은 거절한다. L형 ESCO는 제3자 재원조달 시장에서 수익을 창출할 수 없게 된다. 반면, H형 ESCO는 L형과 H형의 진단수수료의 차이만큼 수익을 얻게 된다. 따라서 H형 ESCO의 균형에서의 수익은 자신의 기술수준뿐만 아니라 L형보다 더 빠르게 진보된 기술수준을 통해서 증가하게 된다. 에너지사용자는 어떠한 추가비용을 지출하지도 않으면서 기존 자신의 에너지시스템에서 ESCO가 3자재원조달 임무를 하도록 허용함으로써 일정분의 수익을 얻게 된다.
