Newsvendor Game with Supply Uncertainty
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we study the newsvendor game with supply uncertainty, where multiple retailers form a coalition to cooperate to place orders to minimize the cost and share risk facing uncertain supplies and demands. After the orders are delivered and the demands are realized, the actual arrival quantities are allocated among the retailers to minimize the total cost. We compute the cost functions by using two-stage stochastic programming model and show that the cooperative game has a nonempty core. Also we propose a method to calculate an allocation in the core.

Introducing a mathematical model in supply chain with adding trust flow
These day, supply chains (SCs) have become more and more complicated and have extensively expanded and due to these complexities, the supply chain management (SCM) has encountered several uncertainties, and, as a result, trust and assurance between members in SCs has become essential for a successful SCM. Although trust is an inevitable component in nearly all fields in SCs, like cooperation, c...
متن کاملCoordinating a Constrained Channel with Linear Wholesale Price Contracts
We show that when a supply channel is capacity-constrained and the constraint is tight, there is a set of linear wholesale price contracts that coordinates the channel while allowing the supplier to make a profit. We prove this for the one-supplier/one-newsvendor supply channel as well as the many-supplier/one-newsvendor channel configuration (with each supplier selling a unique product). We an...
متن کاملBiform Analysis of Inventory Competition
T paper provides a model of the competitive newsvendor problem in which there is price competition following the inventory decisions. Using the biform game formalism of Brandenburger and Stuart (2004), the price competition is modeled by considering the core of the induced cooperative game. Such an analysis allows price competition to be modeled without a priori assumptions about price-setting ...
متن کاملChapter 2 GAME THEORY IN SUPPLY CHAIN ANALYSIS
Game theory has become an essential tool in the analysis of supply chains with multiple agents, often with conflicting objectives. This chapter surveys the applications of game theory to supply chain analysis and outlines game-theoretic concepts that have potential for future application. We discuss both non-cooperative and cooperative game theory in static and dynamic settings. Careful attenti...
متن کاملA multi-product green supply chain under government supervision with price and demand uncertainty
In this paper, a bi-level game-theoretic model is proposed to investigate the effects of governmental financial intervention on green supply chain. This problem is formulated as a bi-level program for a green supply chain that produces various products with different environmental pollution levels. The problem is also regard uncertainties in market demand and sale price of raw materials and pro...
