由於資訊科技的快速發展，企業規模不斷的擴大，今日的商業戰爭已不再是企業個體的競爭，而是整個供應鏈的競爭，因此傳統的供應鏈模式已不滿足於現代企業的需求，於是整合性供應鏈管理因應而生，協同規劃、預測及補貨（Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment, CPFR）的概念便是在此時產生，提供一個供應鏈協同運作的方式，讓供應鏈成員透過資訊網路，分享顧客的需求、市場預測及營業資訊等等，共同規劃、預測及補貨，並建立溝通協同的機制，解決在進行相關活動中有可能發生的問題。
本研究將重心從以往CPFR應用在推式系統的分析，或是探討供應鏈成員間的協同策略，轉變為以推拉式系統的角度來評估三階式供應鏈若加入CPFR概念後，對整體供應鏈績效的影響。因此，本論文將利用模擬分析的方法，針對不同的協同策略，利用供應鏈績效衡量指標來看不同情境對供應鏈的影響性，此結果可提供不同產業導入CPFR時的參考依據。

Because of the rapid development of Information Technology, the scale of enterprise has been enlarging, and the business war has turned from the competition between companies to the competition of whole supply chain. Therefore, traditional supply chain model cannot fit the demand of modern business, which results in the integrated supply chain, whose main concept is CPFR. CPFR offers a way of collaborative operation, which allows the members of supply chains to share the information on customers needs and sales, and do market forecasting through the Internet. By planning, forecasting, and replenishment together, the members of supply chains can build the system of collaboration and solve possible problems.
We focus on the effect of three-echelon supply chain on whole supply chain performance after applying the concepts of CPFR to the system by the angle of push and pull system instead of the analysis of the application of CPFR to the push system. As a result, we will use the simulation analysis to analyze the effect on supply chain on different collaborative strategies in different contexts , with performance measurement indicators. It can be considered to be a database for different industries when they apply the concepts of CPFR to their management.
