Evaluation of the Efficiency of Information Sharing Policies Using a TOPSIS Method in Materials Supply Chain

Article Preview

Abstract:

Information sharing is an important component of coordination in materials supply chain. Proper selection of information sharing policy has a significant impact on materials supply chain performance, especially in reducing costs and raising customer-service levels. However, it has long debated how the different policies affect the materials supply chain performance. This paper designs different information-sharing policies to analyze the supply chain performance through a simulation model. Finally, a technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method is used to evaluate the overall performance of each information-sharing policy.
