Outline of Research Activities
Dmytro Matsypura Presentation at MKIDS
Mini-Workshop September 10, 2003
Virtual Center for
Supernetworks
Research Interests
Modeling and analysis of complex decision-making on network systems
Specific focus on global issuesGlobal transportation networksGlobal telecommunication networks
Global supply chain networks
Risk issues
Motivation (Global Supply Chains)
Growing competition brought new challenges
Supply chains have become increasingly globalized
Addressing risk issues is more important then ever
SARSTerrorist threats
Motivation (Global Supply Chains)
Success can not rely solely on improving the efficiency of internal operations
Collaboration can build the foundation for a competitive advantage
The principal effect of B2B commerce is in the creation of more profitable supply chain networks
Motivation (E-Commerce)
The Net and e-business now is a vital part of commerceThe Commerce Dept. estimates:
retail e-commerce accounted for $45 billion in sales in 2002, up 11% from the prior yearin the first quarter of 2003, online retail sales jumped to $11.9 billion, 30% from the first quarter of 2002, while total retail sales grew just 4.4% in this same period
Last year, Intel generated 85% of its orders -- some $22.8 billion worth -- online

Anna Nagurney, Jose Cruz, and Dmytro Matsypura, 2002
Global Supply Chain Supernetworks with Random Demands (GSCSwRD)
Anna Nagurney and Dmytro Matsypura, 2003
Dynamics of Global Supply Chain Supernetworks with E-Commerce (GSCSwE)
Jose Cruz and Dmytro Matsypura, 2003
Decision-Making Setting
Supply chain networksThree distinct types of decision-makersOptimizing AgentsMultiple countriesMultiple currenciesHomogeneous product
Our Unique Perspective
Dynamics of GSCS• Manufacturer-retailer-demand_market• Elastic demand
GSCSwRD• Manufacturer-distributor-retailer• Random demand• e-commerce
Dynamics of GSCSwE• Manufacturer-retailer-demand_market• Elastic demand• e-commerce
Notable features:It handles as many countries, manufacturers, retailers, and demand markets as mandated by the specific applicationIt predicts the equilibrium product shipments and also the equilibrium pricesRetailers may be physical or virtualThe transaction costs need not be symmetricIt allows for the analysis of the equilibrium product flows and prices as well as the disequilibrium dynamics
Dynamics of Global Supply Chain Supernetworks
The Supernetwork Structure
The Optimization Problem for the Manufacturer
The Optimization Problem for the Retailer
The Optimality Conditions at the Demand Market
and
The Equilibrium Conditions Governing the Global Supply Chain Network
Global Supply Chain Supernetworks with Random Demands
Another class of decision-maker: Distributor
Retailers can trade with Manufacturers through Distributors as well as directly through e-links
Retailers are facing random demand
Retailers bear all the risk associated with random demand

The Optimization Problem of the Manufacturer
The Optimization Problem of the Distributor
The Optimization Problem of the Retailer

Global Supply Chain Supernetwork with E-Commerce
Dynamics of Global Supply Chain Supernetworks with E-Commerce
The VI formulation is somewhat similar to previously discussed
Yet it is different for it allows for B2C e-commerce
Our main interest: behavior of the system in time
Dynamics
Demand market price dynamics:The rate of change of the price is equal to the difference between the demand for the product and the amount of product actually available at the particular market
Dynamics
The product shipments retailer<->demand_market:
The rate of change of the product shipment is equal to the price consumers are willing to pay minus the price of a retailer and various transaction costs
Dynamics
The prices at the retailers:The rate of change of the clearing price is equal to the difference between the amount of product shipped in and out
Dynamics
The product shipments manufacturer <-> retailer:The rate of change of the product shipment is equal to the clearing price minus production and transaction costs
Dynamics
The product shipments manufacturer <-> demand_market:
The rate of change of the product shipment is equal to the price consumers are willing to pay minus production and transaction costs
Results
The non-classical projected dynamical system
Describes the dynamic evolution of the product flows and prices
Describes the dynamic interactions among the product flows and prices
The set of stationary points coincides with the set of solutions to the variational inequality problem
The Algorithms
General Iterative Scheme
Modified Projection Method
We seek to determine x*2 K½ Rn, such thath F(x*)T, x-x*i¸ 0, 8 x2 K
where F:K! Rn, continuously differentiableK is convex, compact and closed set
Assume there exist smooth g(x,y):K£K! Rn, such that:
(i) g(x,x)=F(x), 8 x2 K,(ii) for every fixed x,y2 K, n£n matrix rxg(x,y) is
symmetric and positive definite
The Algorithms
General Iterative Scheme
Modified Projection Method
Step 0: InitializationSet X02 K. Let k = 1
Step 1: Construction & ComputationCompute Xk by solving the VI subproblem:
hg( Xk, Xk –1)T, X – Xki¸ 0, 8 X2 K.
Step 2: Convergence VerificationIf |Xk – Xk-1|·, > 0, a prespecified tolerance,
then stop; else, set k=k+1, and go to Step 1.
