Modeling the Stream of Events with Constant Intensity for Two Cooperating
Enterprises. The growing market competition requires guaranteeing the effective
functioning of companies. One of the main tasks aimed at reducing risks is the optimal
supply of raw material for an enterprise [7]. Therefore, the topical question is the
effective organization of management process and controlling material and financial
flows aimed at maximizing the efficiency of supply and sales of a company. The lack
of inventories destroys the stability of production, reduces labor productivity, and
causes over-consumption of resources. Moreover, the lack of products for sales
decreases the volume of sales, rate of return and causes the loss of consumers [1].
Companies try to shape the effective management of inventories and cash flows,
supplies and sales [8].
Figure 4 depicts two enterprises engaged in leather processing and manufacturing
leather products cooperating on financial and economic basis.
Figure 4. The Scheme of Cooperation of Two Enterprises
The raw materials for the Main Enterprise is processed leather produced by the
Leather processing Enterprise. The Main Enterprise needs the on-time supply of raw
material for manufacturing leather products. The Leather processing Enterprise
guarantees the supply of raw material and enables the control of costs necessary to
increase opportunities for sales of leather products.
If the Main Enterprise faces the growth of sales, it needs additional volume of
supply of raw materials from the Leather processing Enterprise, which must
simultaneously reduce its sales on its external market. Moreover, vice versa, if the Main
Enterprise reduces the consumption, the Leather processing Enterprise needs to sell
more on its market for processed leather.
