본 논문은 공급 업체(Supplier), 소매 업체(retailer) 및 고객(Cuistomer)으로 구성된 2 단계 공급망(Supply Chain)에서 소매 업체의 경제적 주문량(로트 크기)에 대한 문제를 분석하고자 한다. 이와 같은 2 단계 공급망에서 공급 업체는 경쟁 기업과의 가격 차별화 전략으로 소매 업체가 지불해야 할 상품 구입비용에 대해 일정 기간 지불 유예를 허용하기도 한다. 또한 식품, 곡물 등의 소비재의 경우 일반적으로 최종 고객의 수요는 소매 업체의 진열된 재고 수준에 따라 종속적으로 나타나는 것을 흔히 볼 수가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 관점에서 공급업체가상품 구입비용에 대해 소매 업체에 일정 기간 지불 유예를 허용하는 경우에 고객의 수요가 소매 업체의 재고 수준에 크기에 따라 증가하는 함수라는 가정 하에 소매 업체의 재고 문제를 분석 해 보고자 한다. 공급 업체가 허용하는 지불 유예 기간이 소매 업체의 재고 정책에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 몇 가지 지불 유예 기간에 대한 소매 업체의 경제적 주문량을 결정 해 봄으로써 상품 구입비용에 대한 지불 유예 기간의 길이가 소매 업체의 재고 정책에 미치는 영향에 대하여 계량적으로 분석 해 보고자 한다.

In this paper, we investigate an inventory and production system in a three-layer supply chain system involving a single supplier, single manufacturer and multiple retailers. Earlier study in this type of supply chain only consider a single raw material in order to produce single item, but we consider raw materials in order to produce multiple items. It is assumed that the cycle time at each stage is an integer multiple of the adjacent downstream stage. We develop an iterative solution procedure to find the order quantity for the multiple items and raw materials that minimizes the supply chain-wide total cost per unit time of the supplier and manufacturer's raw materials ordering and holding, setup and finished items holding, the retailer's ordering and inventory holding. Numerical examples are presented to show that the proposed heuristic gives good performance.

This paper considers the value of warehousing contract under probabilistic demands. We consider a supply chain consisting of a supplier, a retailer and its third-party warehousing partner who provides the warehousing service to the retailer through an outsourcing contract. A typical contract is specified by initial space commitment and modification schedule. The retailer decides the order quantity for the supplier and space commitment for the outsourcing contract. Since there is close relationship between order quantity and space commitment to minimize the total cost including ordering cost, inventory carrying cost, shortage cost, and warehousing cost, we develop an analytical model under probabilistic demands, where the retailer can determine the optimal order size and space commitment level jointly. We found the closed-form optimum for a single-period case and the optimal conditions for a two-period case. To evaluate the value of contract flexibility for the two-period case, we compared the total cost under two policies; one with modification, under which the base commitment can be changed at the start of each period and the other without modification. From results of our numerical analysis, we showed that the modification policy is more cost-effective as the variability of demand increases.

The bullwhip effect refers to the phenomenon where demand variability is amplified when one moves upward a supply chain. In this paper, we exactly quantify the bullwhip effect for cases of seasonal demand processes in a two-echelon supply chain with a single retailer and a single supplier. In most of the previous research, some measures of performance for the bullwhip effect are developed for cases of non-seasonal demand processes. The retailer performs demand forecast with a multiplicative seasonal mixed model by using the minimum mean square error forecasting technique and employs a base stock policy. With the developed bullwhip effect measure, we investigate the impact of seasonal factor on the bullwhip effect. Then, we prove that seasonal factor plays an important role on the occurrence of the bullwhip effect.

공급사슬상에서의 구성원간 협력이 보편화되어가는 현재의 추세에 따라 본 논문은 공급자-판매자로 구성된 공급 사슬에서의 옵션 계약을 통한 구성원간 협력 문제에 대해 연구하였다. 구체적으로, 본 논문은 가격이 공급자에 의해 결정되고 옵션 계약 물량이 판매자에 의해 결정될 경우에 대한 공급사슬 전체 관점 및 각 구성원 관점에서의 최적 옵션 가격, (옵션) 행사 가격, 현물 시장 가격, 옵션 계약 물량 결정 문제를 계량적으로 연구하였다. 본 논문의 연구결과를 통해 옵션 계약이 공급사슬에서의 구성원간 협력에 이용되는 경우에 대한 좀 더 나은 이해가 가능하며, 본 논문에서 제시한 예제는 실제 공급사슬상에서의 최종 소비자 수요가 정규분포나 연속균등분포등의 특정 분포를 따를 경우에 대한 최적 가격 및 옵션 계약 물량 계산 방법을 설명한다.

In supply chain management, the supply contract can induce collaboration and coordination among the supply chain members in order to optimize supply chain performance. Numerous supply contracts have been examined; however, some difficulties related to the application of these contracts still occur. One of the solutions is to apply the composite supply contract which can assist in the supply chain coordination. This research examines the composite contract of the revenue sharing and quantity flexibility contracts in a two-stage supply chain, which comprises a retailer and a supplier. In this research, a mathematical model of the composite contract is developed; then, the applicability of the proposed composite contract is examined by investigating its capability in terms of supply chain coordination and profit allocation. In the numerical experiments, the composite revenue sharing-quantity flexibility contract showed that it is superior to both component contracts in terms of supply chain coordination and profit allocation among supply chain members.

The main focus of this study is to investigate the performance of a clark-scarf type multi-echelon serial supply chain operating with a base-stock policy and to optimize the inventory levels in the supply chains so as to minimize the systemwide total inventory cost, comprising holding and backorder costs as all the nodes in the supply chain. The source of supply of raw materials to the most upstream node, namely supplier, is assumed to have an infinite raw material availability. Retailer faces random customer demand, which is assumed to be stationary and normally distributed. If the demand exceeds on-hand inventory, the excess demand is backlogged. Using the echelon stock and demand quantile concepts and an efficient simulation technique, we derive near optimal inventory policy. Additionally we discuss the derived results through the extensive experiments for different supply chain settings.

Purpose: The revenue sharing contract has been used in various industries and it is expected to coordinate the individual companies' operations in a way to improve the whole supply chain performance. This study evaluates the performance of the revenue sharing contract to find out whether this contract achieves its original goal, the supply chain coordination. Research design, data, and methodology: The profit optimization models are developed to represent two stage supply chain system with a supplier and a buyer. By using the numerical examples of the proposed mathematical models, this study examines whether this supply chain contract coordinates the supply chain system. Results: The numerical examples show that the revenue sharing contract does not make the same supply chain profit as the centralized system does. With the proper combination of the wholesale price discount rate and revenue share ratio, both manufacturer and retailer can obtain increased profits from the revenue sharing contract. Conclusions: The outcomes of the numerical analysis imply that the revenue sharing certainly improves the supply chain performance but it does not fully coordinate the supply chain system. By controlling the wholesale price and revenue share ratio, every supply chain member can be beneficiaries of this supply chain contract.

This study proposes a fuzzy inventory model for managing large-scale production, incorporating cost considerations. The model accounts for two types of expenditure scenarios-parametric and exponential. Uncertainty surrounds holding costs, setup costs, and demand rates. The approach considers a supply chain system with a complex manufacturing process, factoring in transportation costs based on the quantity of goods and distance between the supplier and retailer. The initial crisp model is then transformed into a fuzzy simulation, incorporating specific fuzzy variables affecting inventory costs. The proposed method significantly reduces overall inventory costs for the entire supply chain. Retailer demand is linked to inventory levels, and vendor/distributor storage deteriorates over time. The fuzzy condition assumes hexagonal variables for all associated factors. The study employs the signed distance method for defuzzification to determine the optimal order quantity with hexagonal fuzzy numbers. Mathematical examples are provided to illustrate the practicality of the proposed approach.

본 연구는 공급자(supplier), 중간분배자(retailer/distributor) 그리고 고객(customer)으로 구성된 2 단계 공급사슬을 대상으로 공급자가 수요 증대를 목적으로 중간분배자에게 일정기간 동안 제품대금에 대한 지불 연기를 허용한다는 가정 하에 중간분배자의 최적 재고정책 결정을 위한 재고 모형을 다루었다. 소비성 상품의 경우, 고객의 수요는 일반적으로 상품 진열대에 진열되어있는 상품의 재고량에 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 상황을 고려하여 고객의 수요가 중간분배자의 재고량에 영향을 받는다는 가정 하에 재고 모형을 설계하였고, 모형 분석을 통하여 이익을 최대화하는 경제적 주문량 결정 방법을 제시하였다. 또한 예제를 통하여 제시된 해법을 적용하고, 그 타당성을 보였다.
