Use of Shared Information in a Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) Supply Chain
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) supply chain is modeled using discrete-event simulation. The supply chain consists of a supplier (vendor) with a manufacturing facility and a distribution center, and a customer (retailer) with a distribution center and an outlet store. The information shared between the retailer and the vendor is subject to error and delays. The impacts of sharing erroneous data and using outdated information are observed on a set of performance measures. This research is expected to provide insight about the relationship between supply chain policies and the use of imperfect information.

An Inventory Model for Deteriorating Items Using Vendor-Managed Inventory Policy
In recent researches, vendor managed inventory (VMI) policy is rarely considered for deteriorating items. This study considered the supply chain partner’s collaboration via a VMI system and provided an EOQ model for a two-level supply chain (single supplier - single retailer) to examine the inventory management proceedings for VMI and non-VMI supply chains. By a new approach in modeling, the ...
متن کاملDeveloping EOQ model with instantaneous deteriorating items for a Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI) system
This paper studies the economic-order-quantity model (EOQ) for deteriorating items in two cases (with and without shortages) to evaluate how vendor managed inventory (VMI) affects supply chain. We consider two-level supply chain (single supplier and a single retailer) with one instantaneous deteriorating item. A numerical example and sensitivity analysis are provided to illustrate the effect of...
متن کاملSupplier Selection in Three Echelon Supply Chain & Vendor Managed Inventory Model Under Price Dependent Demand Condition
This paper, considers the supplier selection in three echelon supply chain with Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) strategy under price dependent demand condition. As there is a lack of study on the supplier selection in VMI literature, this paper presents a VMI model in supply chain including multi supplier, one distributer and multi retailer that distributer selects suppliers. Two class models (t...
متن کاملEPQ model with scrap and backordering under Vendor managed inventory policy
This paper presents the economic production quantity (EPQ) models for the imperfect quality items produced with/without the presence of shortage condition. The models are presented in a two-level supply chain composed of a single manufacturer and a single buyer to investigate the performance of vendormanaged inventory (VMI) policy. The total costs are minimized to obtain the optimal production ...

This paper examines and compares various manufacturing policies which manufacturer may adopt so as to improve the performance of a vendor managed inventory (VMI) partnership. The goal is to maximize the combined cumulative profit of supply chain while minimizing relevant inventory management costs. The supply chain is a two-level system with a single manufacturer and single retailer at each lev...
