In this paper, we study the optimal profit change in a manufacturer-led dual-channel supply chain under centralized decision-making and decentralized scenarios. The is composed of only single supplier, manufacturer, retailer, manufacturer plays leading role chain. Meanwhile, following conditions exist simultaneously: promotion levels retailers offline physical stores, compensation given by manu...

*Correspondence: [email protected] School of Economics and Management, Tongji University, Siping Road, 200092 Shanghai, China Abstract This paper considers a pricing and remanufacturing problem in closed-loop supply chain which includes one dominant manufacturer and one retailer under uncertain environment. The remanufacturing cost, market demand, and collection cost are characterized as unce...

In this study, we investigate the impact of quality regulation on the quality of investment and the pricing decisions of a global supply chain, where products are produced by a manufacturer in one country, but sold by a retailer in another country to its market. In particular, the quality of the products is regulated by policy makers of the importer country. We consider two cases of supply chai...

Many benefits of implementation of GDSN have been identified, including reduced counterfeiting, reduced medication errors, increased supply chain efficiency and standardized regulatory evolution. Several steps are involved in developing a GDSN and EPCglobal network. Each manufacturer, distributor, and retailer must have a strong ERP information system for the initial EPCIS set up. Next, a 2D ba...

In this paper, an incentive policy is proposed to coordinate ordering, lead time, and pricing strategies in a two-echelon manufacturing supply chain (SC) consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. The system is faced with a stochastic demand which depends on both price and lead time. The manufacturer decides on production size and manufacturing acceleration rate while the retailer determi...

We analyze pricing and protection (digital rights management) strategies in a two-echelon supply chain that consists of a manufacturer and a retailer of digital products. The demand for the legal (non-pirated) product, which depends on both price and monetary investment in protection, is assumed to be uncertain. Three different supply chain models are analyzed: manufacturer Stackelberg, retaile...

Motivated by the influenza vaccine industry, we study a supply chain contracting problem under the presence of uncertainties that are related to product design, delivery, and demand, respectively. The supply chain consists of a manufacturer and a retailer, where the retailer places an order before the flu season starts and the manufacturer decides on when to produce the products. Because produc...

This paper studies the potential benefits of collaborative forecasting (CF) partnerships in supply chains that are capacity-constrained. Our supply chain consists of a manufacturer and a retailer, that operate in an information-rich environment, where one or both of them may be privy to valuable information that can be used to resolve demand uncertainty. To reflect the reality in capacity-const...

This paper investigates pricing and ordering as well as advertising coordination issues in a single-manufacturer single-retailer supply chain, where the manufacturer sells a newsvendor-type product through the retailer who faces a stochastic demand depending on both retail price and advertising expenditure. Under the assumption that the market demand has a multiplicative functional form, the St...

We consider a supply chain in which one manufacturer sells a seasonal product to the end market through a retailer. Faced with uncertain market demand and limited capacity, the manufacturer can maximize its profits by adopting one of two strategies, namely, wholesale price rebate or capacity expansion. In the former, the manufacturer provides the retailer with a discount for accepting early del...
