Abstract

This chapter presents a generalised model for a manufacturer oriented Domestic Supply Chain (DSC) and International Supply Chain (ISC) based on two empirical case studies in China. The model considers some key characteristics such as uncertainties and constraints that are typical in the emerging economy in China. Various cost elements in association with supply chain activities are identified and used to measure the supply chain performance. Two supply chain management issues are discussed. The first is the integrated raw material procurement and finished goods production planning, and the second is the international market sales plan. A Simulation method is used to evaluate the model under specific strategies. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the usefulness of the model. We contribute to the literature in two aspects: (i) through two case studies of medium-sized manufacturers in China, the characteristics and differences between DSC and ISC can be better understood; (ii) a simulation tool is developed to evaluate specific management strategies and assist decision-making in various scenarios. Because of the limited number of case studies, the model is required to be validated in more companies and other industries.
