Risk hedging in a supply chain: Option vs. price discount
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research, two risk hedging strategies, the option contract and the advance purchase discount contract, are investigated within a manufacturer–retailer two-echelon supply chain context. This study offers three contributions. First, the optimal decisions under the two contracts from the perspectives of both the manufacturer and the retailer are determined. Second, circumstances under which supply chain coordination can be reached are identified. Third, the scenario of loss-averse manufacturer has been explored. The results of the analysis provide practical insights to the manufacturer when she plans production quantity and to the retailer when he replenishes inventory. & 2014 Elsevier B.V.

A two-level discount model for coordinating a decentralized supply chain considering stochastic price-sensitive demand
In this paper, a discount model is proposed to coordinate pricing and ordering decisions in a two-echelon supply chain (SC). Demand is stochastic and price sensitive while lead times are fixed. Decentralized decision making where downstream decides on selling price and order size is investigated. Then, joint pricing and ordering decisions are extracted where both members act as a single entity ...

In this paper, the coordination of pricing and periodic review inventory decisions in a supplier-retailer supply chain (SC) is proposed. In the investigated SC, the retailer faces a stochastic price dependent demand and determines the review period, order-up-to-level, and retail price. On the other hand, the supplier decides on the replenishment multiplier. Firstly, the decentralized and centra...

متن کاملCoordination of two-echelon supply chains using wholesale price discount and credit option
This paper, studies the coordination of two-echelon supply chains using a credit (delayed) payment option and/or a wholesale price discount offer. We develop models for optimizing individual members’, as well as supply chain’s objectives. These models lead to the determination of the retail price and the order quantity for the buyer, as well as the production batch size, wholesale discount and/...
متن کاملA Study on the Coordination of the Two-echelon Supply Chain Using Credit and Quantity Discount Options
In this paper we study the coordination of the two-echelon supply chain using credit and quantity discount options. We determine the retail price, order quantity for the buyer, and the setup frequency, credit period for the supplier in four different scenarios (with or without coordination and with or without credit option). And we suggest a policy that incorporates both quantity discount and c...
