Quantity discount is a frequently adopted scheme that has not been explicitly investigated in logistics service procurement auctions. This paper focuses on revised winner determination problem under quantity discounts and demand uncertainty for fourth-party (4PL) provider combinatorial reverse auction. To characterize our research problem, two-stage stochastic nonlinear programming model constr...

The Fourth Party Logistics (4PL) information system used today is comprised of disconnected legacy system, and lacks the support for interoperability for whole supply chain integration. This situation often prevents the 4PL provider from fully exploring market opportunities in a timely fashion. To address this problem, we propose an agent-based framework for intelligent 4PL integration. A set o...
