摘要：Supply chain management (SCM) is becoming extremely important to achieve competitiveness in the current business environment. Moreover, the supply chain partnership between suppliers and buyers in SCM has had a significant impact on supply chain performance. In this study, we developed a quantitative model based on the supply chain partnership under several assumptions. For this purpose, we first proved several basic theorems which verify the relationship between supplier and buyer’s total profit for two cases, with and without supply chain partnership. We then proved that there exists the supplier's selling price per unit which makes the maximum total profits for both supplier and buyer with supply chain partnership greater than those for any given supplier's selling price per unit without supply chain partnership. Finally, we presented the graphical interpretation of our results by using a linear demand function.
