The Impact of Demand Uncertainty on Decisions of Sourcing Strategies under Supply Disruption Risks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the impacts of both the demand uncertainty and the supply disruption probability on the decisions of two sourcing strategies: one is dual sourcing and the other is single sourcing with contingent supply. The expected profit functions and the optimal decisions of the buyer are derived and compared. Then sensitivity analysis is given through numerical examples. Explicit insights are given into how (a) the buyer’s order quantity decisions under both sourcing strategies are affected by the variability in demand; (b) demand uncertainty moderates the effects of the wholesale prices; and (c) the buyer’s expected profit changes with the demand uncertainty under different supply disruption frequencies.

An integrated model for designing a distribution network of products under facility and transportation link disruptions
Due to occurrence of unexpected disruptions,a resilient supply chain design is important. In this paper, a bi-objective model is proposed for designing a resilient supply chain including suppliers, distribution centers (DCs), and retailers under disruption risks.The first objective function minimizes total costs. The second objective function maximizes satisfied demands. We use the augmented e-...

متن کاملSingle versus multiple supplier sourcing strategies
Successful supply chain management necessitates an effective sourcing strategy to combat uncertainties in both supply and demand. In particular, supply disruption results in excessive downtime of production resources, upstream and downstream supply chain repercussions, and eventually a loss in the market value of the firm. In this paper we analyze single period, single product sourcing decision...
