成本信息不对称下相互竞争的原始设备制造商是否会将原材料采购外包?
主持嘉宾:唐尧 博士
摘  要:  This paper considers a supply chain in which two competing heterogeneous original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) outsource production to a common contract manufacturer (CM) that possesses private cost information. Along with production outsourcing, the OEMs can either purchase components by themselves and only assign the production tasks to the CM (Consignment), or delegate both the procurement and production tasks to the CM (Turnkey). The main question we address is whether the OEMs should adopt Consignment or Turnkey. To answer this question, we first analyze the OEMs’ optimal mechanism design problems under three scenarios: both OEMs adopt Consignment strategy; both OEMs adopt Turnkey strategy; one OEM adopts Consignment and the other one adopts Turnkey. Building upon the OEMs’ equilibrium decisions under each scenario, we then characterize the equilibrium outcome for the procurement game. The results show that the CM’s procurement cost distribution and the market size play critical roles in the equilibrium outcome. Additionally, we find that both the competition intensity and cost heterogeneity between the OEMs affect the equilibrium outcome.
  本文考虑的供应链由两个相互竞争且异质的原始设备制造商组成,这两个原始设备制造商将生产任务外包给同一个合约制造商完成,且该合约制造商的成本信息不对称。原始设备制造商可以自己完成原材料采购而仅将产品生产外包(Consignment), 也可以将采购和生产都外包出去(Turnkey)。我们研究的主要问题是这两个原始设备制造商应该采用Consignment策略还是Turnkey策略。为了回答该问题,我们首先分析了三种不同情境下的原始设备制造商的最优机制设计问题,这三种情境如下:1)两个原始设备制造商都采用Consignment策略;2)两个原始设备制造商都采用Turnkey策略;3)两个原始设备制造商采用不同的采购策略。然后基于不同情境下原始设备制造商的最优解,我们得到了这个采购博弈的均衡解。研究结论表明合约制造商的成本分布和市场规模决定了该均衡解。另外,我们发现原始设备制造商的竞争强度和成本差异都将影响该均衡解。
