This paper considers the joint supplier selection, replenishment and manufacturing control problem in a dynamic stochastic context. This problem is characterized by conflicting interests between suppliers, the manufacturer, and clients, which raise the need for coordination and information sharing. This paper contributes to the discourse mainly by developing and resolving an integrated mathemat...

This paper incorporates remanufacturing decisions with pricing and supplier and component selection decisions in a multi-level green supply chain with multiple suppliers, one single manufacturer and multiple retailers. The manufacturer purchases optional components of a certain functionality from his alternative suppliers or remanufacture from recycled components and customizes a set of platfor...

Most supplier selection models consider the buyer’s viewpoint and maximize only the buyer’s profit. This does not necessarily lead to an optimal situation for all the members of a supply chain. Coordination models have been developed to optimize the entire supply chain and align the decisions between its entities. Little research has been done on the application of these models in the supplier ...

The research on service supply chain has attracted more and more focus from both academia and industrial community. In a service supply chain, the selection of supplier portfolio is an important and difficult problem due to the fact that a supplier portfolio may include multiple suppliers from a variety of fields. To address this problem, we propose a novel supplier portfolio selection method b...

This paper presents a stochastic mixed integer programming approach to integrated supplier selection and customer order scheduling in the presence of supply chain disruption risks, for a single or dual sourcing strategy. The suppliers are assumed to be located in two different geographical regions: in the producer's region (domestic suppliers) and outside the producer's region (foreign supplier...

Purpose: The problem includes the three objective functions: minimizing the total cost, the net rejected items and the inverse total value of purchasing (TVP), while satisfying capacity and demand requirement constraints. Design/methodology/approach: The model is established for supplier selection problem and later the proposed single objective model is used to calculate the optimum order quant...

Many extension of the newsboy problem have been solved in the literature. One of those extensions solves a newsboy problem with stochastic initial inventory, earlier extensions have focused on quantity discounts offered by suppliers. An important practical extension would address a combination of the two pervious extensions. In this paper we consider a newsboy problem in which the suppliers off...

In many firms the value of purchased materials and components accounts for 50-80% of total cost of goods sold. Selecting suppliers in a global economical environment is not an easy task: first there is the large number of possible suppliers, many accessible via the Internet, and secondly there are the usual price and quality conditions that must be taken into account. Thus, supplier selection i...

A power market is a special kind of e-markets. In a power market, all trading processes are related to three parties: buyers, suppliers and brokers. A broker acts as middlemen between buyers and suppliers in a trading process. In a power market, how to select a potential supplier for a buyer through a broker based on the buyer's requirements is a challenging research problem. This paper propose...
