Über dieses Buch

literature and hints on interesting publications; Professor Hartmut Stadtler for d- cussing the amount of updates and revisions; and finally Katharina Wetzel-Vandai from Springer, who made the second edition possible, and gave all the necessary technical support to achieve this undergoing. Mainz, October 2008 Gregor Dudek Preface to the First Edtion The following dissertation is the outcome of a three-year research effort at the - partment of Production and Supply Chain Management of the Darmstadt Univ- sity of Technology. When this work started in mid of 2000, the term “Collaborative Planning” was about to gain popularity, especially in practitioner-oriented publications on Supply Chain Management. Yet, in searching these publications for answers to questions of how a Collaborative Planning process should actually look like, or which goals and objectives it should serve, one quickly found that most contributions only scratched at the surface of Collaborative Planning. Most frequently, discussions focused on the technological means available for the exchange of information - tween independent Supply Chain partners, such as Email, Web-interfaces, or the XML technology.

1. Introduction

This book deals with collaborative planning between supply chain partners, that is independent companies or business units of large corporations, which develop close relationships in the course of engaging in Supply Chain Management.

2. Supply Chain Management and Collaborative Planning

This first chapter intends to give an overview of Supply Chain Management (SCM) and an introduction to Collaborative Planning. In particular, it shall be clarified how Collaborative Planning relates to SCM and why it can be considered an important component of implementing SCM.

3. Modeling Framework and Relevant Literature

This chapter sets out a quantitative modeling framework for the following treatment of collaborative planning and reports on findings from literature related to the problem setting.

4. Negotiation-Based Collaborative Planning between Two Partners

In this chapter we develop a collaborative planning scheme for a single buyersupplier pair. The following section describes the supply chain scenario and presents an overview of the scheme. The distinct planning steps carried out repeatedly by the collaboration partners are presented in full detail in section 4.2. Thereafter, section 4.3 deals with the resulting total process flow and its control. Section 4.4 concludes the chapter with a brief summary and some final comments.

5. Extensions to the Basic Collaborative Planning Scheme

In this chapter we show how the negotiation-based scheme for collaborative planning can be applied to more complex settings than dealt with in the preceding chapter and actually allows to further reduce the amount of cost information exchanged between SC partners.

6. Implications on Supply Contracts and Partner Incentives

Chapters 4 and 5 describe the negotiation-based scheme for collaborative planning. Thereby the emphasis is laid on conceptual and algorithmic aspects. However, as collaborative planning affects the cost outcomes of involved SC partners, issues relating to the financial flow between the partners need to be considered as well. In particular, the objective is to adapt payments between the parties in such a way that all partners benefit from collaborative planning and hence have an incentive to cooperate with their SC partners. This is dealt with in the following section.

7. Computational Evaluation

This final chapter deals with the evaluation of the collaborative planning scheme developed in chapters 4 and 5 by computational tests. The purpose is to determine the quality of solutions attainable with the scheme on the one hand and the computational efforts necessary to achieve these solutions on the other. The focus of the computational analysis is on the basic version of the scheme as described in chapter 4, i.e. one-time planning between a single buyer and supplier. However, a smaller number of tests also considers a more general SC structure with a single supplier but several buyers, as well as planning on a rolling basis between two SC partners.

8. Summary and Conclusions

In this book we laid out a negotiation-based scheme for collaborative planning between SC partners.
