Résumé
Under current economic conditions, several companies have decided to implement
collaborations with their suppliers, distributors, and retailers, in order to share
products and information efficiently as well as reduce their operational costs.
Even traditional industries such as the forest industry are now seeking for new
business relationships to outperform the competition. In this article, we propose
a case study of collaboration between a pulp and paper producer and a wholesaler.
In particular, we describe a methodology used to compare different collaborative
approaches. We show that this methodology is useful to take multiple operational
parameters and constraints into account, as well as to update planning decisions
over time. We also discuss the different results obtained for the case study. We
demonstrate that collaborative approaches such as CPFR and VMI may reduce
network costs, but the savings obtained with these strategies must be distributed
fairly. Furthermore, we analyze the use of several incentives to increase the value
and strength of the collaboration.
