Capacity Coordination Mechanism for Supply Chain under Supply-Demand Uncertainty

Coordination in multi-echelon supply chain under supply and demand uncertainty

The main purpose of this paper is to study the inventory, production, and contracting decisions of a multi-echelon supply chain with both demand and supply uncertainty. We find that the commonly used wholesale price contracts used by both up-stream and downstream supply-chain members cannot coordinate the system. We then propose a returns policy used by the manufacturer and the retailer, combin...

Dynamic Coordination In A Supply Chain With Production Capacity Uncertainty

With the trend of globalization, supply chains are increasingly extended and uncertainties associated with material flow along the supply chain have become a major challenge in the planning process. In this study, we examine the effect of supply uncertainty on dynamically managing a two-stage supply chain under both centralized and decentralized controls. Specifically, the downstream faces dema...

Title Game-Theoretic Approach to Tourism Supply Chain Coordination under Demand Uncertainty For Package Holidays

Capacity reservation under supply uncertainty

Shortages of input materials and components used in the production process often adversely influence sales of manufacturing firms. Manufacturers can guarantee delivery of the inputs by initiating capacity reservation arrangements with their suppliers. We study a multi-period capacity reservation contract between a manufacturer and a long-term supplier when there is uncertainty about the quantit...

Managing demand uncertainty in supply chain planning

In this work, we provide an overview of our previously published works on incorporating demand uncertainty in midterm planning of multisite supply chains. A stochastic programming based approach is described to model the planning process as it reacts to demand realizations unfolding over time. In the proposed bilevel-framework, the manufacturing decisions are modeled as ‘here-and-now’ decisions...
