Supply disruption is a common phenomenon in business activities. For the case where supply predictable, retailer should make an emergency procurement beforehand to decrease inventory cost. scenario such that happening time of obeys certain probability distribution but ending deterministic, based on minimizing cost and under two possible strategies, we establish optimization model.

Supply chains have become more global due to the increased interconnectedness of the world’s economy. As a result, companies in the U.S. are seeking more affordable overseas supply alternatives, though doing so may increase risk of domestic impacts when a disruption in the supplier’s country occurs. It is then critical to assess the risks of global disruptive events to identify the cost effecti...

There are many evidences that people tend to overweight low-probability events and underweight highprobability events. This risk attitude is generally expressed as an inverse-S shaped weighting function. This paper considers a risk-averse inventory manager who operates a continuous-review inventory system subject to supply disruption risk. Both Zero-Inventory-Order (ZIO) and Non-ZIO policies ar...

We consider a three-level distribution network involving a raw material supplier with imperfect quality, a manufacturer and several retailers. A production-inventory model accompanied by a partial backlogging approach is developed by considering random disruptions. Any batch received from the supplier is inspected by the manufacturer and if any flaw is visited, all the goods in the inspected ba...
