Supply chain integration in vendor-managed inventory

This paper develops an analytical model that explores how important supply chain parameters affect the cost savings to be realized from collaborative initiatives such as vendor-managed inventory (VMI).

Online Addendum for “Dynamic Procurement, Quantity Discounts, and Supply Chain Efficiency”

Let QN correspond to the total production quantity of an N -period uncapacitated game. For the N -period limited capacity case, when the capacity is “tight,” i.e., CS ≤ a 4b , or when the capacity is “abundant,” i.e., CS ≥ QN , the results are straightforward and intuitive....
