Supply Chain Reliability Modeling Stochastically in Electronic Commerce Environment

This article proposes methods for modeling supply chain reliability stochastically in electronic environment. On Internet today, a supply chain becomes very complex, as simultaneously connecting the supplier, the manufacturer, the distributor and the user. Therefore, we had to consider the situation of many suppliers to many demanders instead of single to many or many to single under the electronic commerce environment. A new reliability model is promoted based on graph theory and the model supports several types of reliability evaluation of the complex supply chain. Examples in several distribution of specific analysis are illustrated.
