Aimed at the possibility of stock-out of the traditional retail channel under stochastic demand in a dual-channel supply chain, we propose a cooperative inventory strategy, in which the excess demand of the traditional retail channel is complemented by the excess inventory of the manufacturer’s direct channel through transshipment. We establish a newsboy model to analyse each supply chain membe...

Joint managed inventory is an advanced supply chain inventory management tool, which will effectively tackle the complicated problem between the inventory cost of supply chain and service level. The research on inventory model and its’ control under JMI environment is a hot issue at present. In this paper, the authors deeply discuss the question of the inventory time costs about the multi-produ...

We study a hybrid strategy that uses both process flexibility and inventory to mitigate risks of plant disruption. In this setting, a firm allocates inventory before disruption while facing demand uncertainties; demand is realized after disruption, and the firm schedules its production using process flexibility to minimize lost sales. This interplay between process flexibility and inventory is ...

The New Haven Community Clean Air Initiative is a pilot project for EPA’s Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy. 1999 National Air Toxics Assessment (NATA) data reflected that New Haven County had the second highest quantity of air toxic emissions of any county in New England. In response, EPA and the City of New Haven developed a plan to inventory hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions from po...

objective: the present study aims to investigate thought control strategies in generalized anxiety disorder (gad), major depressive disorder (mdd), and the relationship of these metacognitive strategies with trait anxiety, as a construct of emotional vulnerability. methods: 60 patients with diagnosis of gad and mdd and 30 control subjects (nonpatients) were selected from the university students...

Operations researchers have always assumed that when a product’s unit cost is constant and its demand curve is known and stationary, a retailer of the product would find it optimal to replenish the inventory with a fixed quantity and to sell the product always at a fixed price. We present, with proof, a model that shows that, in such a case, an e-tailer is better off using a continuously increa...

With the emerging of global economy and the development of the technology in computer and communications, the enterprises are facing to new opportunities but also more challenges, which led to the concept of SC (Supply Chain). By controlling and collaborating each part of the supply chain, SCM (Supply Chain Management) reaches the aim of reducing the cost, improving the quality as well as servi...
