This book deals with collaborative planning, an approach to supply chain planning which aims to coordinate planning tasks of independent supply chain partners while respecting their local decision authority. It gives an introduction to collaborative planning, shows how it is embedded in the broader subject matter of supply chain management, and reviews findings of related literature. Atits core, it provides a step-by-step description of a negotiation-based, practice-oriented approach to collaborative planning at the medium-term level of master planning between two supply-chain partners, a supplier and a single customer. Subsequently, this basic concept is extended to cover supply chains withmultiple partners and planning on a rolling basis. Implications of collaborative planning on supply contracts are sketched out, and incentives for cooperative behavior by the supply-chain partners are analyzed by applying concepts ofgame theory. Second edition completely reworked and updated Excellent up-to-date overview of the current state of supply chain planning in general and collaborative planning in particular Key points at the beginning of each chapter Selected up-to-date references to further reading at the end of each chapter INDICE: Introduction.- Supply Chain Management and Collaborative Planning.- Modeling Framework and Relevant Literature.- Negotiation-Based CollaborativePlanning between Two Partners.- Extensions to the Basic Collaborative Planning Scheme.- Implications on Supply Contracts and Partner Incentives.- Computational Evaluation.- Summary and Conclusions.
