Coordination of two-echelon supply chains using wholesale price discount and credit option

چکیده
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/or the credit period offer for the supplier, under five different scenarios. Our analysis indicates the superiority of a coordinating policy that incorporates both a quantity discount, as well as a credit payment option. With equitable profit sharing, such a policy can be beneficial for both the parties towards increasing total supply chain profitability. & 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A 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...
متن کاملA 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 ...
متن کاملDiscounting Strategy in Two-Echelon Supply Chain with Random Demand and Random Yield
T This paper analyzes different pricing strategies in a two-echelon supply chain including one supplier and two retailers. The supplier and the retailers face random yield and random demand, respectively. Moreover, coordination or non-coordination of retailers in receiving the discount is investigated. Game theory is used to model and analyze the problems. The supplier as a leader of Stackelbe...
متن کاملCoordinating pricing and periodic review replenishment decisions in a two-echelon supply chain using quantity discount contract
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...
