Companies, especially those in e-business, are increasingly offering free shipping to buyers whose order sizes exceed the free shipping quantity. In this paper, given that the supplier offers free shipping, we determine the retailer’s optimal order lot size and the optimal retail price. We explicitly incorporate the supplier’s quantity discount, and transportation cost into the model. We analytically...
This paper examine the order allocation problems in a stochastic supply chain. The company in the supply chain can order raw materials from multiple suppliers. At any time of a supply order, the company should decide the optimal order quantities from suppliers to minimize the total purchasing cost and disruption risk, subject to maintaining a specified service level and quality. We develop an integrated...
Order allocation is one of the most critical activities of purchasing management in a supply chain. It is an unequally important multiple criteria decision making problem including cost, quality, delivery and service etc. In real situation, much input information is uncertain. In these cases the theory of fuzzy sets and stochastic theory are two of the best tools for handling this problem. Our fuzzy...
