In a three stage supply chain composed of one manufacturer, one distributor and one retailer, the supply chain coordination mechanism is studied under a fuzzy demand environment. The market demand is treated as a positive trapezoidal fuzzy number, and the models of centralized decision-making system and spanning revenue sharing (SRS) contract are proposed by the method of the fuzzy set theory. ...

Answers how much to order when to order. Reduced price when item is purchased in larger quantities.The first model we will present is called the economic order quantity EOQ. We will discuss two types of quantity discount contracts: all units discounts and.buy the lowest total cost quantity, save the buyer money and, in some cases, receive more goods. quantity discount model example When we buy ...

in today's globalization, an effective integration of production and distribution plans into a unified framework is crucial for attaining competitive advantage. this paper addresses an integrated multi-product and multi-time period production/distribution planning problem for a two-echelon supply chain subject to the real-world variables and constraints. it is assumed that all transportations a...

This study is the first to consider a distribution-free approach in newsvendor model with transfer of risk and back-ordering. Previously, many articles, discrete demand considered. In this model, we selling single seasonal item price-dependent stochastic demand. Competition markets has forced retailer manufacturer coordinate decentralized supply chain management. A coordination contract made be...

In recent years, comprehensive researches have provided ample support for the supply chains in the coordinated decision-making framework. However, the issue of closed-loop supply chain coordination considering various transportation modes has not yet been addressed in the literature. In this paper, a two-echelon closed-loop supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer is investigate...

In the present day scenario of globalization, the concept of supply chain management (SCM) has gained significance as one of the 21 century manufacturing paradigms for improving organizational competitiveness. In this context, a two level supply chain model is developed considering a single manufacturer and single retailer. The main objective of this research is to demonstrate the optimality of...

Functional relationship between supplier and buyer in an open market place leads to investigate the role of both quantifiable and non-quantifiable parameters in coordination mechanism with the aim of achieving higher performance in supply chain activities. Here, we develop a supply chain model and a new agent to analyze and simulate the players’ behavior in the network. A cooperative game theor...

According to the actual situation of the enterprise alliance of supply chain networks and considering the complexity of the various links in the supply chain of uncertain factors, it should be take a solution on decomposition strategy coordination of the supply chain system optimization and focus on the supply cost analysis facility decision on supplier selection and cost, the two a problem of ...
