role in supply chain management, particularly in the buyer-supplier relationships particularly in the Malaysian
context. The information sharing among the members of the chain, particularly between buyer and supplier, will
result on the big impact to the partnership in term of the business performance.(V.C.Pandey et al,2010) They
observed that information sharing has significant impact on the competitive strengths of the manufacturer in order
winning parameters like cost effectiveness and service level.Statistical analysis has been done to identify the
relationship with the type of information sharing and the competitive strengths of the manufacturing
enterprises.(Rashed et al,2010) They focus on the combined consequence of information and knowledge sharing on
supplier’s operational performance through supplier-buyer relationship. They collected data from 30 Bangladeshi
Readymade Garments Industry were collected through interview and mail survey. The content validity, construct
validity, and reliability are tested. They findings showed that information sharing is a prerequisite for knowledge
sharing and the close supplier-buyer relationship is a vital factor for escalating the supplier’s operational
performance. (Jairo R, Gloria L, 2011) They devoted to the study of information sharing between the members of a
supply chain in a dynamic context. They consider a typical make-to-order direct sell supply chain without finished
products inventory, similar to the one implemented by Internet PC sellers. They compare various scheduling
algorithms implemented to study different scenarios of information sharing among the members of the chain. A
simulation study is developed in order to get some insights about the impact of information sharing on the
performance of the chain.
6. Risk in supplier manufacturer relationship
Supplier risk management is an evolving discipline in operations management for manufacturers, retailers, financial
services companies and government agencies where the organization is highly dependent on suppliers to achieve
business objectives. Outsourcing, globalization, lean supply chain initiatives and supplier rationalization have
contributed to a highly fragmented model, where control is often several steps removed from the corporation. While
these models have allowed companies to reduce overall costs and expand quickly into new markets, they also expose
the company to the risk of a supplier suddenly going bankrupt, closing operations or being acquired. (Christopher S,
2006) They reviewed various quantitative models for managing supply chain risks. They also relate various supply
chain risk management (SCRM) strategies examined in the research literature with actual practices.(Peter,
Kevin,2009)They presents preliminary researchconceptsregardinganewapproachtotheidentification and prediction
ofsupply risk. They asses and classify of suppliers is based on supplier’s attributes, performances and supply chain
characteristics. The findings are explained with in the Contingency theory. (Qing et al, 2008)They developed a new
supply chain network model with multiple decision-makers associated at different tiers and with multiple
transportation modes for shipment of the good between tiers.The models also incorporate the individual attitudes
towards disruption risks among the manufacturers and the retailers, with the demands for the product associated with
the retailers being random. They present the behavior of the various decision-makers, derive the governing
equilibrium conditions, and establish the finite dimensional variation inequality formulation. (Zhen in Yu et al, 2001)
They illustrates the benefits of supply chain partnership based on in information sharing for a decentralized supply
chain comprising a manufacturer and retailer and derive the members optimal inventory policies under different
information sharing scenarios.
7. Uncertainty in relationship
Supply chain in 1990, when issues related to the circulation material was formed, was introduced. These categories, a
wide variety of press articles and various publications won, moreover, the issue of interest was a lot of teachers and
pioneers In general , a supply chain consists of different activities including: logistics, inventory, supplying resources
and purchasing, production planning, the relationship between and within the organization and measuring
performance. Indeed, supply chain management is nothing but integration processes, supply chain from the supplier
of the primary to the client end in order to create satisfaction for the consumer end. (Arnaldo, Andrea &Enrico,
2005) They applied theory to model vertical inter-firm relationships and study risk sharing between manufacturers
and first-tier suppliers in the Italian high-precision air conditioning (AC) industry. They use regression analysis to
test the agency model on the supplier networks (respectively of 50 and 58 suppliers) of two leading Italian high
precision AC manufacturers. The regression analysis shows that both the manufacturers absorb risk to a nonnegligible
degree.(Paycharee, Damien,2006) They investigated the relationships between supply chain uncertainty,
supply chain relationships and firm’s performance in product and service industries. They showed that in both
industries, supply uncertainty is a more significant determinant of performance than demand uncertainty.A dyadic
supply chain with uncertain supplier.(S. Mehdi, Behrooz,2010)They considered a dyadic supply chain with uncertain
supplier and derive a good approximation for the total cost function of described system, as weighted mean costs of
