A location-inventory-pricing model in a supply chain distribution network with price-sensitive demands and inventory-capacity constraints

چکیده
This paper presents a location-inventory-pricing model for designing the distribution network of a supply chain with price-sensitive demands and inventory-capacity constraints. The supply chain has market power and uses markup pricing. An efficient Lagrangian relaxation algorithm is proposed to solve the model. Our numerical study shows that by moderately increasing the number of possible values for pricing decisions, the model can be used to find near-optimal solutions of a similar locationinventory-pricing problem with continuous pricing decisions. The approach used here to incorporate pricing decisions can be applied to other supply-chain design and planning problems with price-sensitive demands. 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A joint pricing-network design model for a resilient closed-loop supply chain under quantity discount
In this paper, a novel resilient multi-echelon closed-loop location-allocation-inventory problem (RMCLIP) is addressed that optimizes strategic and tactical decisions simultaneously. In order to represent the purchasing cost of raw material from the supplier, a pricing model under quantity discounts is employed in the closed-loop supply chain (CLSC). Considering the capability of returning the ...

Managing income is a considerable dimension in supply chain management in current economic atmosphere. Real world situation makes it inevitable not to design or redesign supply chain. Redesign will take place as costs increase or new services for customers’ new demands should be provided. Pricing is an important fragment of Supply chain due to two reasons: first, represents revenue based ...

This paper considers a single-sourcing network design problem for a three-level supply chain. For the first time, a novel mathematical model is presented considering risk-pooling, the inventory existence at distribution centers (DCs) under demand uncertainty, the existence of several alternatives to transport the product between facilities, and routing of vehicles from distribution centers to 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 کاملClosed-loop Supply Chain Inventory-location Problem with Spare Parts in a Multi-Modal Repair Condition
In this paper, a closed-loop location-inventory problem for spare parts is presented. The proposed supply chain network includes two echelons, namely (1) distribution centers (DCs) and repairing centers (RCs) and (2) operational bases. Multiple spare parts are distributed among operational bases from distribution centers in the forward supply chain and failed spare parts from operational bases ...
