Modeling of Capacity Reservation and Supplier Selection Based on Option Contract

Supplier Selection Modeling and Analysis Based on Polychromatic Sets

The competition in 21 century is no longer located among enterprises, but in all the supply chains. To maximize the supply chain benefit, the stable and efficient supply chain should be provided. This paper applies the polychromatic sets to discuss the supplier selection problem and describe the supplier selection related factors. According to those factors, a model is illustrated in detail by ...

Optimal Capacity Expansion Policy with a Deductible Reservation Contract

This paper investigates an optimal capacity expansion policy for innovative product in a context of one supplier and one retailer. With a fully deductible contract, we employ the Stackelberg game model to examine the negotiation process of capacity expansion in a single period. We first derive the retailer’s optimal reservation strategy and then characterize the optimal capacity expansion polic...

Supplier Competition with Option Contracts for Discrete Blocks of Capacity

An approach based on ANFIS input selection and modeling for supplier selection problem

Supplier selection is a key task for firms, enabling them to achieve the objectives of a supply chain. Selecting a supplier is based on multiple conflicting factors, such as quality and cost, which are represented by a multi-criteria description of the problem. In this article, a new approach based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is presented to overcome the supplier selection ...

Modeling and Numerical Analysis of Revenue Sharing Contract Based on the Stackelberge Game Theory

Considered supply chain in this article consists of one vendor and multiple retailers where the vendor applies vendor managed inventory. Considering vendor as a leader and retailers as followers, Stackelberg game theory is applied for modeling and analyzing this system. A general mixed integer nonlinear model is developed which can optimizes the performance of the system under revenue sharing c...

An Integrated Closed-loop Supply Chain Configuration Model and Supplier Selection based on Offered Discount Policies

In this paper, a mathematical programming model is presented for integrated problem of closed loop supply chain network design and supplier selection. The suppliers  propose discount policy based on purchase amount and loyalty of buyers which are both taken from the elements of RFM (Recency, Frequency and Monetary) technique. The main objective of this paper which is formulated by a mixed-integ...
