Chain Problem

Counterfeiting is a problem many companies do not want to acknowledge or talk about. However, ignoring the problem is likely to have the effect of encouraging counterfeiters to go unchecked. A multilayered strategy that adopts several approaches and engages the entire organization is needed to address the counterfeiting problem. This chapter provides a set of recommendations to address the issue of counterfeiting. Initially, the size of the problem must be estimated and the return on investment approximated. This can help define the need for a team of experts to work in this area, leading to a set of performance metrics that are aligned with business objectives and outcomes. Next, the key focal product segments should be targeted and a system for identifying products through product trademark registration with customs authorities should be completed. In the end, combating counterfeiting is not a supply chain problem, it is not a legal problem, nor is it a packaging and covert marking problem. It is a global problem—one that impacts all organizations, large and small. All business functions need to be part of the discussion, not just a single brand security function. Failure to approach counterfeiting in this manner will simply allow the problem to continue to grow.

Integrated Supply Chain

Multiple interrelated decision-making models are frequently used in supply chain modeling. Model integration is a precondition for efficient development and utilization of these models. This paper discusses use of modern information technology (IT) techniques and methods for integration of supply chain decision-making models. The overall approach to using IT at various stages of model development is presented. Data and process modeling techniques are used to developed semi-formalized representation of integrated models. These models support integration of decision-making components with other parts of supply chain information system. Process modeling is also used to describe interrelationships among multiple decision-making models. This representation is used as the basis for implementation of integrated models. The service-oriented architecture is proposed as an implementation platform. The presented discussion serves as the basis for further developments in developing integrated supply chain decision-making models.

Integrated Supply Chain

In this paper, we developed model integrated supply chain model with drop-shipper players.  The aim of the study is to integrate players in the supply chain system that one of its players is a drop shipper. This coordination model considers the policy of late payment and prosecution for delivery of goods. Previous, The author has described the supply chain system in detail. The experiments were conducted into different case scenarios, where each scenario would represent the actual system that occurred. Then also conducted sensitivity analysis on some predicted variables significantly influence the total cost of the supply chain. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that coordination with consideration of delay in payment and penalty contract for drop ship has successfully integrated the players in the supply chain system under study. This can be proved by the lower total cost of the supply chain when it is integrated with that consideration.
