the objective of this article is to develop an empirically based framework for formulating and selecting a vendor in supply chain. this study applies the fuzzy set theory to evaluate the vendor selection decision. applying analytic hierarchy process (ahp) in obtaining criteria weights and applied technique for order performance by similarity to idea solution (topsis) for obtaining final ranking...

considered supply chain in this article consists of one vendor and multiple retailers where the vendor applies vendor managed inventory. considering vendor as a leader and retailers as followers, stackelberg game theory is applied for modeling and analyzing this system. a general mixed integer nonlinear model is developed which can optimizes the performance of the system under revenue sharing c...

vendor selection decisions are complicated by the fact that various conflicting multi-objective factors must be considered in the decision making process. the problem of vendor selection becomes still more compli-cated with the inclusion of incremental discount pricing schedule. such hard combinatorial problems when solved using meta heuristics produce near optimal solutions. this paper propose...

in this paper a fuzzy analytical network process model for supporting the vendor selection process in strategic situations is suggested. first, the vendor evaluation problem is putting together by use of the multi-criteria decision-making (mcdm) approach and a five-step hybrid process, which incorporates the technique of fuzzy analytical network process. then the modified topsis (technique for ...

    inventory model,   backorder   buyer ,   vendor,   lot for lot policy In this paper, an inventory model for two-stage supply chain is investigated. A supply chain with single vendor and single buyer is considered. We assume that shortage as a backorder is allowed for the buyer and the vendor makes the production set up every time the buyer places an order and supplies on a lot for lot basis...
