This paper presents the effect of demand information sharing between a set maker and a component supplier in the electronic device industries. We extend the information sharing (collaboration) from lower level of planning (short- or intermediate-planning) to higher level of planning (long-term planning). Using a computer simulation model, this examines the performance of the supply chain under different information sharing methods. The result shows that information sharing of long-term planning improves the profits of the maker and supplier more than that of short- or intermediate-term planning. Furthermore, we will report on the result of examining the effect of information sharing with different demand patterns faced by the maker and cost structures.
