Multi-Item Supply Chain and Revenue Management Problems Joern Meissner The areas of Revenue Management and Supply Chain Management represent two fundamental pillars for the management of industries that procure and distribute consumer products. The former is concerned with the management of the demand processes and the development of methodologies and systems required to support this management...

This paper studies supply chain demand variability in a model with one supplier and N retailers that face stochastic demand. Retailers implement scheduled ordering policies: Orders occur at fixed intervals and are equal to some multiple of a fixed batch size. A method is presented that exactly evaluates costs. Previous research demonstrates that the supplier’s demand variance declines as the re...

In the recent decades, rapid population growth has led to the significant increase in food demand. Food supply chain has always been one of the most important and challenging management issues. Product with short age, especially foodstuffs, is the most problematic challenges for supply chain management. These challenges are mainly due to the diversity in the number of these goods, the special n...

Marketing is the creation of customer demand. Operations management is the supply and fulfillment of that demand. Therefore, there is no surprise that marketing and operations management are intimately connected in many firms. When the two areas are in conflict, one often sees a mismatch in demand and supply, leading to production inefficiencies and unsatisfied customers. When they are in synch...

recently, much attention has been given to stochastic demand due to uncertainty in the real -world. in the literature, decision-making models and suppliers' selection do not often consider inventory management as part of shopping problems. on the other hand, the environmental sustainability of a supply chain depends on the shopping strategy of the supply chain members. the supplier selection pl...

An important observation in supply chain management, known as the bullwhip eeect, suggests that demand variability increases as one moves up a supply chain. In this paper we quantify this eeect for simple, two-stage, supply chains consisting of a single retailer and a single manufacturer. Our model includes two of the factors commonly assumed to cause the bullwhip eeect: demand forecasting and ...

Supply Chain Management (SCM) refers to the problems where the decisions of supply, production and demand are integrated in a single framework. A typical supply chain faces uncertainty in terms of supply, production and demand. Therefore, SCM is largely about managing uncertainty and risks. This paper introduces a simulationand optimisation-based decision support system that helps the scheduler...

This paper studies the effects of information sharing strategies on supply chain performance. We first consider four common types of information sharing strategies for a supply chain of a single product: (1) order information sharing where every stage of the supply chain only knows the orders from its immediate downstream stage; (2) demand information sharing where every stage has full informa...

Demand prediction of supply chain is an important content and the first premise in supply management of different enterprises and has become one of the difficulties and hot research fields for the researchers related. The paper takes fresh food demand prediction for example and presents a new algorithm for predicting demand of fresh food supply chain. First, the working principle and the root c...
