Some special events such as adjustments of executives can cause the disruption social welfare responsibility degree (SWRD for short) firm's decision-maker, which may further influence price and service-level decisions supply chain coordination. However, in field management, there are very limited studies on SWRD disruption. Facing potential disruption, we develop game-theoretic models to invest...

In this paper, we study the coordination issue in a dual-channel green supply chain with one manufacturer and retailer. The demand traditional channel is assumed to be dependent on retail price, sales effort degree. Due characteristic of live broadcast selling, direct price discount. On basis analyzing degree strategies under centralized model, two decentralized models are presented. Moreover, ...

It is common for a retailer to sell products from competing manufacturers. How then should the …rms manage their contract negotiations? The supply chain coordination literature focuses either on a single manufacturer selling to a single retailer or one manufacturer selling to many (possibly competing) retailers. We …nd that some key conclusions from those market structures do not apply in our s...

This paper investigates the Stackelberg equilibrium for pricing and ordering decisions in a multi-channel supply chain. We study a situation where a manufacturer is going to open a direct online channel in addition to n existing traditional retail channels. It is assumed that the manufacturer is the leader and the retailers are the followers. The situation has a hierarchical nature and...

This paper studies supply chain coordination in a decentralized supply chain which consists of a distributor, a manufacturer, and an OEM. The distributor meets price-sensitive random demand of a product with a short life cycle. The manufacturer, having limited capacity, receives the order from the distributor; when the distributor's order exceeds the manufacturer's capacity, the manufacturer ou...

  Supply chain includes two or more parties linked by flow of goods, information, and funds. In a decentralized system, supply chain members make decision regardless of their decision's effects on the performance of the other members and the entire supply chain. This is the key issue in supply chain management, that the mechanism should be developed in which different objectives should be align...

In practice, manufacturing systems are never perfect and may have low quality outputs. Therefore, different decisions such as reprocessing, sale at lower prices or diminishing are made according to industry and market. This paper investigates the importance of supply chain coordination through developing two models in centralized decision-making for an imperfect quality manufacturing system wit...

The centralized management approach provides a general view to set a better coordination between the elements of the supply chain, and look for the equilibrium between the stock and the shipped quantities. This paper describes a stochastic model predictive control algorithm to optimize the warehousing cost and the shipping cost on the same time. We consider a multi-level and multi-product suppl...

Firms need to deal with not only risks from stochastic demand but also risks from supply side. The supply side risk may be due to parts/service outsourcing, third party logistics, or random yield in production processes. In this paper, we study how firms sequentially make price and quantity decisions under these two risks. The first question we try to answer is how these two risks affect the de...
