An Optimal Joint Multi-Item Replenishment Policy for a Two-Level Supply Chain: Centralized versus Decentralized Decision

چکیده
Any industry has its own supply chain where it is not necessary to have all stages in the supply chain and the optimal o rdering policies of those indiv idual stages may be different. This paper p resents an extension of two–level supply chain inventory model d iscussed in related works. The main consideration of this paper is to determine the optimal ordering policy according to inventory and transportation costs in a two stage supply chain consisting of warehouse and retailer in case of multip le–items. The evaluation is based on centralized and decentralized decisions for a retailer and a single warehouse. A model is developed and finally a case study is presented to illustrate the proposed approach. The numerical results show that the centralized decision results in a significant saving compared to the decentralized one. It is, therefore, ev ident that the proposed model for the centralized policy ensures more profitability of the whole system.

Coordination of promotional effort, corporate social responsibility and periodic review replenishment decisions in a two-echelon socially responsible supply chain
In this paper, we explore the issue of coordination in a manufacturer-retailer supply chain where the manufacturer is socially responsible and invests in CSR activities. On the other hand, the retailer invests in promotional efforts and uses a periodic review order-up-to policy for replenishing items. First, the decentralized decision-making structure is modeled to calculate the minimum accepta...
متن کاملSupply Chain Coordination using Different Modes of Transportation Considering Stochastic Price-Dependent Demand and Periodic Review Replenishment Policy
In this paper, an incentive scheme based on crashing lead time is proposed to coordinate a supplier-retailer supply chain (SC). In the investigated SC, the supplier applies a lot-for-lot replenishment policy to replenish its stock and determines the replenishment multiplier. Moreover, the transportation lead time is considered under the control of the supplier. The retailer as downstream member...
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 ...

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...

Pricing is one of the major aspects of decision making in supply chain. In the previous works mostly a centralized environment is considered indicating the retailers cannot independently apply their decisions on the pricing strategy. Although in a two-echelon decentralized environment it may be possible that supply chain contributors have encountered with different market power situations which...
