Abstract

This thesis is focused on the models and algorithms for some supply chain design and planning issues which are classified into domestic supply chain issues and global supply chain issues. Regarding the domestic supply chain issues, an alternative model and solution algorithm were firstly developed for supply chain network equilibrium (SCNE) models (Nagurney et al., 2002; Dong et al., 2004). Afterwards, the SCNE model (Nagurnet et al., 2002) was extent to an SCNE model with production capacity constraints. Finally, a Mathematical Program with Equilibrium Constraints was present for a novel competitive facility location problem, applying the SCNE model with capacity constraints to obtain the equilibrium state of the supply chain. Regarding the global supply chain issues, a chance-constrained programming model was firstly developed for a centralized global supply chain, considering transfer pricing and demand uncertainty. Subsequently, a game-theoretical model was proposed for a decentralized global supply chain.

Descriptive scope: 1 P

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
