Abstract
In this thesis, we will present both theoretical and empirical investigation into supply chain management. In chapter 2, we study the impact of coordinated replenishment, a popular supply chain initiative, on a quality control system. We use the (Q, S) policy to manage a two-item inventory control system. If the items are jointly replenished, the number ordered for each item varies from lot to lot. As the number varies, the sampling plan will also be changed. Companies have to determine sampling plans to minimize quality cost when the order is mixed with several items and the number of each item varies from order to order. Management primary concern is to determine the optimal sampling sizes and acceptance numbers for all items in an order. In chapter 3, we present the findings of a su...[

In this thesis, we will present both theoretical and empirical investigation into supply chain management. In chapter 2, we study the impact of coordinated replenishment, a popular supply chain initiative, on a quality control system. We use the (Q, S) policy to manage a two-item inventory control system. If the items are jointly replenished, the number ordered for each item varies from lot to lot. As the number varies, the sampling plan will also be changed. Companies have to determine sampling plans to minimize quality cost when the order is mixed with several items and the number of each item varies from order to order. Management primary concern is to determine the optimal sampling sizes and acceptance numbers for all items in an order. In chapter 3, we present the findings of a survey on local industries to study their mastering of techniques of supply chain management, particularly in managing supplier-customer relationship. In the survey, we attempt to study: 1) supply chain management projects which have been implemented in Hong Kong; 2) challenges and opportunities encountered by local companies; 3) enablers for the implementation of the projects.
