Improved augmented Lagrangian coordination for optimizing supply chain configuration with multiple sharing elements in industrial cluster

A cost sharing-based coordination mechanism for multiple deteriorating items in a one manufacture-one retailer supply chain

In this paper, an inventory model for deterioration items in a two-echelon supply chain including one retailer and one manufacturer is proposed by considering the stock and price dependent demand and capacity constraint for holding inventories. First, the model is presented as a leader-follower game in which the manufacturer announces wholesale prices. Second, the retailer decides for the order...

Optimizing the Supply Chain Configuration for New Products

We address how to configure the supply chain for a new product whose design has already been decided. The central question is to determine what suppliers, parts, processes and transportation modes to select at each stage in the supply chain. There might be multiple options to supply a raw material, to manufacture or assemble the product, and to transport the product to the customer. Each of the...

Coordination and profit sharing in a two-level supply chain under periodic review inventory policy with delay in payments contract

In this paper,a coordination model has been investigated for a two-level supply chain (SC) consisting of one retailer and one supplier under periodic review inventory system. The review period and the retailer’s safety factorare assumed to be decision variables. The retailer faces stochastic demand following a normal distribution with known mean and variance. Moreover, it is assumed that unmet ...
