An Agent-based Simulation Exercise Yu Teng, Nan Kong* Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, Purdue University 206 S. Martin Jischke Dr., West Lafayette, IN 47906 ABSTRACT This paper addresses stochastic dynamic assignment of perishable goods in a scale-free network. We develop an agent-based simulation model in which the supplies and demands for a single perishable commodity are generated at...

In this study, a multi-objective formulation is proposed for designing supply chain of perishable products including suppliers, plants, distributors, and customers under sustainable development. addition to the studies literature, direct shipment between producers also alternative possibility are allowed. problem, objectives, such as facilities establishment costs, transportation negative envir...

We address the value of information (VOI) sharing in the context of a two–echelon, serial supply chain with one retailer and one supplier that provides a single perishable product to consumers. We evaluate information sharing under two supply chain structures where the retailer shares it inventory level and replenishment policy with the supplier. In the first structure, referred to as Decentral...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a multitiered dynamic supply chain network equilibrium modeling framework in which the decision-makers have sufficient information about the future and seek to determine their optimal plans that maximize their profits over the multiperiod planning horizon. We construct the finite-dimensional variational inequality governing the equilibrium of the multiperiod ...

Supply chain management of perishable products has to use some mechanisms control the product waste amount. Dynamic pricing and cooperation members are which mitigate This paper studies dynamic problem a supply with one manufacturer, retailer, two periods: production selling periods. The considers price markdown policy manage total quality-dependent stochastic demand: dividing period into diffe...

This paper considers a two-level supply chain involving supplier and retailer. The retailer sells perishable products to consumers over finite time horizon, the demand is driven by price-and-utility function. First, we study noncooperative problem, which formulated Stackelberg model. It shown that optimal pricing strategy of reduce constant amount on price at beginning each stage. Second, exami...

Due to rapid population growth and increasing demand for high-quality fresh agricultural products, it is essential develop advanced transportation networks distribution centers perishable vegetables, particularly in urban areas. In this paper, a center model designed speed up vegetable reduce economic costs. This paper develops an algorithm solve the nonlinear problem provides numerical analysi...
