Contract Coordination in Dual Sourcing Supply Chain under Supply Disruption Risk

Contract Coordination Strategy of Supply Chain with Substitution under Supply Disruption and Stochastic Demand

Abstract: Based on two substitute products, we study the inventory and contract coordination strategy of a three-echelon supply chain, which consists of two suppliers, a manufacturer and a retailer, under supply disruption and stochastic demand. We investigate the channel gross profit model of the centralized supply chain and obtain a unique optimal order quantity. Under a decentralized decisio...

Supply Chain Sourcing Under Asymmetric Information

We study a supply chain with two suppliers competing over a contract to supply components to a manufacturer. One of the suppliers is a big company for whom the manufacturer’s business constitutes a small part of his business. The other supplier is a small company for whom the manufacturer’s business constitutes a large portion of his business. We analyze the problem from the perspective of the ...

Dual versus Triple Sourcing: Decision-making under the Risk of Supply Disruption

This paper studies three different strategies of sourcing. The whole process of this research including the problem definition is exactly based on a real case condition. This paper model sourcing process of required parts and material for a product which is manufactured under the license of Peugeot Company, the mother manufacturer in France. Based on the agreement between Peugeot and the manufa...

Benders Decomposition Algorithm for Competitive Supply Chain Network Design under Risk of Disruption and Uncertainty

In this paper, bi-level programming is proposed for designing a competitive supply chain network. A two-stage stochastic programming approach has been developed for a multi-product supply chain comprising a capacitated supplier, several distribution centers, retailers and some resellers in the market. The proposed model considers demand’s uncertainty and disruption in distribution centers and t...
