Research on coordination mechanism models of launch vehicle supply chain based on information and contracts

Market competition in 21stcentury is no longer that among enterprises but that among supply chains. Supply chain is based on ldquoCompetition-Cooperation-Coordinationrdquo mechanism and coordination is the key to successful implementation of the supply chain. The launch vehicle supply chain is a typical complex system which needs to be coordinated. This paper constructed the coordinated mechanism model of launch vehicle supply chain based on a comprehensive analysis of many domestic and foreign research results, then did the contrast research of price, the sales volume, the system profit and other major variables in coordinated and non-coordinated decision-making's situation, and confirmed the coordination mechanism can reduce the prices of products, improve sales volume and increase the system's profits, which is a win-win situation of the supply chain members.
