Abstract:

This study deals with the effects of a supply chain (SC) with single product, multiple retailers and a manufacturer, where the manufacturer(he) produces lotsize of the product that contains a random portion of imperfect quality item. The imperfect quality products are sold in a secondary shop. The new contribution of this paper is a new non-linear demand function. Demand of the end customers varies with pricing and promotional effort of the rivalry amongst the retailers which can be used for the electronic goods, new lunched products, etc. We investigate the behavior of the supply chain under Manufacturer-Stackelberg(MS), and Retailer-Stackelberg(RS) model structures. The nature of the mentioned models provides great insights to a firm’s manager for achieving optimal strategy in a competitive marketing system. Within the framework of any bilevel decision problem, a leader's decision is influenced by the reaction of his followers. In MS model structure, following the method of replacing the lower level problem with its Kuhn-Tucker optimality condition, we transform the nonlinear bilevel programming problem into a nonlinear programming problem with the complementary slackness constraint condition. The objective of this paper is to determine the optimal selling price and promotional effort of each retailer, while the optimal wholesale price of the perfect quality products are determined by the manufacturer so that the above strategies are maximized. Finally, numerical examples with sensitivity analysis of the key parameters are illustrated to investigate the proposed model.

Coordinating a Two-echelon Supply Chain through Different Contracts under Price and Promotional Effort-dependent Demand

Retail price and promotional effort are two important parameters on which demand of a commodity largely depends. This paper develops and analyzes a two-echelon supply chain where market demand depends on both retail price and sales effort. The centralized model is studied as the benchmark case, and the wholesale price-only contract is studied as the base case in which each entity tries to maxim...

A 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 ...

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...

Stock Wars: Inventory Competition in a Two-Echelon Supply Chain with Multiple Retailers

This paper studies the competitive and cooperative selection of inventory policies in a two-echelon supply chain with one supplier and N retailers. Stochastic demand is monitored continuously. Retailers incur inventory holding and backorder penalty costs. The supplier incurs holding costs for its inventory and backorder penalty costs for backorders at the retailers. The latter cost reflects the...
