Problem statement: Implementing information sharing and coordination can enhance theperformance of supply chain management, such as a short response time, minimum cost, low inventoryand joint production and transportation. Approach: Through information sharing among all supplychain members, stable long-term relationships can be established and maintained. Results: This studyuses a quantitative cost model to identify the interaction among the supply chain members and toanalyze the benefits of implementing information sharing. Conclusion: Through the jointprocurement, production and transportation that is made possible under information sharing, the totalcost of supply chain collaboration can be optimized for better supply chain management. Moreover, asuccessful supply chain management system with effective strategies can also be facilitated.
