Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 商學研究所 === 102 === With the pursuits of efficiency and low cost, supply chains have been streamlined and entities involved are no longer restricted to the vicinity but from the everywhere on the earth. These trends did bring lots of benefits to firms, but they can also weaken the supply chains in the same time, resulting in news about supply chains disruption these days. Hence, many scholars started to study in supply chain disruption.
This article will focus on the relationship between suppliers and manufacturer because suppliers are not only an important partner but also a main source of supply chain disruption. We will try to solve disruption from manufacturer’s point by signing up a capacity reservation contract with a back-up supplier. Aim to find out the optimal usage amount of capacity reservation under the goal of maximize manufacturer’s expected profit.
Besides, this study also put much effort on visualizing supply chain disruption, much of existent studies only describe how a supply chain will be on graph after disruption. This study will describe how the graph will be after manufacturer takes plan to recover it and will even discuss the condition when manufacturer recovers their capacity above the original level.
