| Research Abstract |
This study develops a supply chain network equilibrium(SCNE) model incorporating the behaviour of freight carriers, and extends it to supply chain-transport supernetwork equilibrium(SC-T-SNE). Application of these models can allow administrators and planners to understand the mechanism of the generation of goods movement as well as to investigate the effects of logistics measures. This can also enable companies to recognise the necessity and effectiveness of such measures. Results of the numerical tests using the models reveal that the increased uncertainty of transport time and demand of products would decrease the efficiency of SCN while the improvement of road networks could enhance it.
