This paper has developed a mechanism to coordinate a c-Si module supplier and a PV system assembler considering the government subsidy. A centralized, a decentralized, and a joint bargaining coordination decision models in a PV supply chain are formulated and analyzed. Using the world PV industry data, the numerical and sensitivity analyses are conducted to assess the impact of key parameters on the decision models. The research result has shown that a joint bargaining coordination mechanism is optimal for the studied PV supply chain. Both a PV system assembler and a c-Si module supplier gain more profit from the joint bargaining coordination model than that from either the centralized or the decentralized decision model. Policies for the sustainable PV industry development are also recommended.

The process adopts a business process management (BPM) logic with two core benchmarking analytic steps to compare LPI performance metrics data of the chosen benchmarked countries against the focal country to better identify key area(s) for the national logistics performance improvement of the focal country. Using Taiwan as an example, this paper presents how to benchmark other countries and validates the designed benchmarking process.

An integrated and global direct distribution business model has already been developed to ship products directly from Asia to Western and other markets along the global supply chain. In spite of their rich resources, Asian countries have not been able to utilize their vast potential due to the lack of regional connectivity and to the existence of "choke points" in Asian supply chains. An Asia-wide transport and logistics network is essential for Asian countries to get their goods to markets more effectively, but its overall progress has so far been limited. An innovative approach is needed to address the physical infrastructure as well as the nonphysical, soft infrastructure issues. This article concludes with solutions identified by Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). The focus of this article is on selected areas within.
