本文考虑易逝品VMI与TPL集成环境下的供应链,旨在分析引入TPL对VMI供应链性能的影响。文章分别讨论了供应商拥有库存决策权、TPL拥有库存决策权以及引入不允许缺货约束机制等三种情况下的供应链,分析结果表明,库存决策权的转移对供应链的绩效没有绝对的影响,而在加入不允许缺货的约束机制后,供应链库存水平、顾客满意度以及零售商和供应商的收益都会得到一定程度的改善,而TPL收益和供应链总收益的变化不确定。
This paper considers integrated supply chain of Vendor-managed inventory (VMI) and third-party logistics (TPL) for perishable goods and it aims to analyze the effect of TPL on VMI supply chain. The paper discusses three kinds of situation: vendor owning inventory decision-making right,TPL owning inventory decision-making right and introducing constraint mechanism of on stock-out. The results indicate that transferring inventory decision-making right from vendor to TPL has no absolute effect on supply chain performance. When the constraint mechanism of no stock-out is considered,the inventory level,customers’satisfaction and the benefits of both retailer and vendor are improved. However,the benefits of both TPL and supply chain vary uncertainly.
