Collaboration and Decision Models for a Two-Echelon Supply Chain: A Case Study in the Pulp and Paper Industry
With the current economic context, enterprises must improve collaboration with their suppliers or customers in order to better coordinate activities, exchange more information and respond adequately to client demand. In particular, collaboration models like Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) or Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR) have been created and used to facilitate product and information exchange between partners. However, the setup of efficient inter-firm collaborations requires time and investment with no guarantee of the possible success or failure of the relationship. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and apply the best collaboration model for the context considered. In this paper we will study different collaboration strategies between a producer and a retailer in the pulp and paper industry. For this particular industrial context, we will analyze the value of different collaboration modes and their impact on the profit of each partner.
