This paper tries to solve the channel optimization for the manufacturer and the retailer who face stochastic market demand by not only considering the structure of cost and revenue sharing in the supply chain but also incorporating the channel marketing effort into the demand function as an endogenous optimization decision. It offers the optimal marketing inputs and channel choice for the two parties...
Supply chains face risks from various unexpected events that make disruptions almost inevitable. This paper presents a disruption recovery model for a single stage production and inventory system, where the production is disrupted for a given period of time during the production up time. The developed model is a constrained nonlinear optimization program which we have solved using an evolutionary...
The robust coordination of a two-stage supply chain with a risk-averse retailer and a risk-neutral supplier is studied under the condition of only knowing historical demand observation data. An objective function based on conditional value at risk is developed with respect to the risk-averse retailer, and the corresponding coordination mechanism for supply chain is designed with only knowing historical...
Evaluating the performances of a Supply Chain is a hard task due to its decentralized structure and when one tries to take into account sustainable development issues. As a first step towards a realistic evaluation tool, in this paper, we provide a two-echelon supply chain model - a manufacturer and a 3PL provider - inspired from Jung, Chen & Jeong which optimizes the economic criterion (costs)...
To survive in today competitive environment, companies need to improve customer service while reducing costs. One way to address this challenge is to effectively and efficiently managing inventory. Companies carry inventory to ensure the level of customer service and avoid lost sales. However, holding inventory comes with costs such as inventory carrying cost and opportunity cost. There are several...
Focusing on the problems of the supply chain of current automobile sales corporations, such as the single sales chain, lack of a consolidated information platform, lack of the concepts of strategic cooperation league, etc. This paper finds out how to construct the optimized two-way supply chain model for the auto sales corporations through the perspective of logistics, information flow, fund flow...
The optimization of supply chain distribution network need to consider many factors, especially useful information derived from distributors. In this paper, We consider a supply chain consisting of two layers, they are one manufacture and many distributors. Each distributor has full knowledge about his own value-added cost structure. The problem is to design the optimal distribution network for the...
In this paper, we analyze the game between one supplier and one retailer. The supplier offer an incentive contract to inspire the retailer to sell the products through different effort level. We construct the discrete principal-agent model, which is reformulated as a stochastic bi-level programming problem. By analysis of the solution, we get how the asymmetrical information affects the supplier's...
This paper analyzes the problem of quantity decision and production planning in a supply chain, which is composed of one manufacturer and one retailer to meet the random demand of short-life-cycle products. To study the coordination of two ordering strategy, an optimization function aiming at maximizing total expected profits is established. Then the model is analyzed by the use of the numerical method,...
