abstract

in this paper, we develop an inventory model for perishable items with random lifetime in a two-echelon production-distribution system. there is a manufacturer at the first stage that produces its product with a constant rate. deterioration in this stage is modeled via a two-parameter weibull distribution. at the second stage, the retailer places the order and receives the product instantly. the deterioration rate at this stage is a three-parameter weibull distribution, which its initial value depends on the time the product has spent in the first stage before being transferred. the behavior of different key parameters of the model is analyzed using numerical studies.

Developing and solving two-echelon inventory system for perishable items in a supply chain: case study (Mashhad Behrouz Company)

In this research, a new two-echelon model has been presented to control the inventory of perishable goods. The performance of the model lies in a supply chain and is based on real conditions and data. The main purpose of the model is to minimize the maintenance cost of the entire chain. However, if the good is perished before reaching the customer (the expiration date is over)...

Two-echelon Inventory System with Perishable- on-the-Shelf Items

This paper deals with an inventory system with one central warehouse and a number of identical retailers. We consider perishable-on-theshelf items; that is, all items have a fixed shelf life and start to age on their arrival at the retailers. Each retailer faces Poisson demand and employs (1, T) inventory policy. Although demand not met at a retailer is lost, the unsatisfied demand at the centr...

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...
