متن کاملCooperative network flow problem with pricing decisions and allocation of benefits: A game theory approach
Several real problems in telecommunication, transportation, and distribution industries can be well analyzed by network flow models. In revenue management, pricing plays a primary role which increases the profit generated from a limited supply of assets. Pricing decision directly affects the amount of service or product demand. Hence, in traditional maximum flow problem, we assume that the dema...
متن کاملCoordination of Pricing, Ordering, and Lead time Decisions in a Manufacturing Supply Chain
In this paper, an incentive policy is proposed to coordinate ordering, lead time, and pricing strategies in a two-echelon manufacturing supply chain (SC) consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. The system is faced with a stochastic demand which depends on both price and lead time. The manufacturer decides on production size and manufacturing acceleration rate while the retailer determi...
متن کاملMaking Optimal Decisions of Assembly Products in Supply Chain
The strategic pricing decisions of assembly products in assembly products supply chain are studied in this paper. Firstly, a two-stage assembly products supply chain model is developed. By building Nash game model, the Nash equilibrium solution of pricing strategy of supplier and assemblers is obtained. Next, a union decision model is built to analyze the optimal combination pricing strategy of...
متن کاملTeaching Supply Chain Management with the Beer Distribution Game on Mobile Devices
At the University of Nova Gorica we introduced game playing as a didactical approach for learning the role of information support in supply chain management. We implemented a well-known beer distribution game developed at MIT Sloan School of Management more than fifty years ago. The game is regularly used in the Business information systems course in the Engineering and Management study program...
