abstract

decentralization allows channel members to make their decisions, independently. in this decentralized channels, members may have different power to make its decisions. hence, decisions of each member may influence on the other members’ decisions. to model such situations, bi-level programming models are useful. in this study, a supply chain including one manufacturer and multiple competitive retailers are considered. the manufacturer produces several perishable and substitutable products. the problem is formulated as a multi-follower bi-level programming model. since bi-level models are often np-hard, simulated annealing algorithm is applied to solve the proposed model. the numerical results of sensitivity analysis indicate that in the larger markets, even increasing in the prices leads to increase the profit of members. also, when the consumers are price-sensitive, the manufacturer and the retailers must decrease their prices to attract the consumers and increase their profits, consequently.

Simultaneous Pricing, Routing, and Inventory Control for Perishable Goods in a Two-echelon Supply Chain

Due to the rapid development of technology in recent years, market competition and customer expectations have increased more than ever. In this situation, it is vital for businesses survival to determine the appropriate policy for inventory control, pricing, and routing, and decisions regarding each of them are often made separately. If the products have a perishable nature, it will be more imp...

Optimal Dynamic Pricing for Two Perishable and Substitutable Products

This thesis presents a dynamic pricing model where a seller offers two types of a generic product to a random number of customers. Customers show up sequentially. When a customer arrives, he will —depending on the prices—either purchase one unit of type 1 product or one unit of type 2 product, or will leave empty-handed. The sale ends either when the entire stock is sold out, or when the custom...

Coordination of pricing and cooperative advertising for perishable products in a two-echelon supply chain: A bi-level programming approach

In this article the coordination of pricing and cooperative advertising decisions in one-manufacturer one-retailer decentralized supply chain with different market power for channel members is studied. The products are both perishable and substitutable. The problem is modeled as a nonlinear bi-level programming problem to consider both retailer and manufacturer decisions about prices and advert...

Coordinating Inventory Control and Pricing Strategies for Perishable Products

We analyze a joint pricing and inventory control problem for a perishable product with a fixed lifetime over a finite horizon. In each period, demand depends on the price of the current period plus an additive random term. Inventories can be intentionally disposed of and those that reach their lifetime have to be disposed of. The objective is to find a joint pricing, ordering, and disposal poli...

Two substitutable perishable product disaster inventory systems

A disaster inventory system is considered in which two substitutable items are stored for disaster management. In the event of disaster management, a particular product may become stock-out and the situation warrants that a demand for the particular product during its stock-out period may be substituted with another available similar product in the inventory. From the utility point of view, con...
