Several issues on South-to-North Water Transfer Project supply chain operations management

We analyze the feasibility of application of the supply chain management to the South-to-North Water Transfer Project(SNWTP) supply chain management,and validate the Pareto Optimization as the objective of SNWTP supply chain management.Combining with real experience,the corresponding contracts are designed based on the principle agent model,which are immediately implementable in the East Route water resources system of SNWTP.In addition,the concept of "Information Transformation Effect" in the SNWTP supply chain is defined; the existence,quant ification and control of "Information Transformation Effect" are analyzed.The results of this paper suggest that it has significant development and implementation potentials to apply the theories and methodologies of the supply chain management in the complex water resources system and water resources allocation and dispatching.
