Research on information sharing values of supply chain management

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to study information which plays a role in creating supply chain enterprise value, and establishes a model of supply chain information in value-increment. Design/methodology/approach - This paper regards the supply chain as a process of input and output. Based on the production function of Cobb- Douglas, it researches deeply on the value-increment mechanism of supply chain information transmission and interaction. Findings - The final output of supply chains decides on the input of node enterprises value action. Research limitations/implications - There is no availability of data to prove the application of the model. Practical implications - Information is an important means of value by node enterprises of supply chains, and is also a key to improving the core competitive ability of enterprises in the supply chain. Originality/value - The paper provides quantitative models and methods for dynamic impact analysis of supply chain information flow. The paper clarifies the mechanism of achieving the overall objective of supply chains and suggests that supply chain managers should emphasize and use information sharing and supply coordination mechanisms to improve supply chain performance.
