We consider two partially substitutable products sold through a two-echelon supply chain, consisting of two manufacturers and one retailer. In case of a stock-out in one of the products, that product's demand can spill over to the competing product. We analyze the equilibrium pricing decisions of the manufacturers and ordering decision of the retailer in a three stage dynamic game for a single period. We investigate the effect of spillover rates on equilibrium decisions. We also evaluate the impact of spillovers being ignored by one of the manufacturers or all parties in the chain. We find that the retailer's order decision depends on the relative profitability of the products. As spillover rates increase, price competition between the manufacturers intensifies, and hence the double marginalization effect in the chain is mitigated.

Competition of manufacturers for retailer shelf space Diler, Betül; Karaer, Özgen; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2016) In this thesis, we consider two partially substitutable products sold through a twoechelon supply chain, consisting of two suppliers and one retailer. We assume a random aggregate demand that is split between the two products, so the products have separated random demand as long as both are available. In case of a stockout in one of the products, that product’s demand can spill over to the competing product, which causes a correlation between the final demand of the products and their stocking quantities.

Joint quantity flexibility for multiple products in a decentralized supply chain Karakaya, Selcuk; Bakal, İsmail Serdar (2013-02-01) In this study, we analyze a decentralized supply chain with a single retailer and a single manufacturer where the retailer sells multiple products in a single period. The products differ in terms of a limited number of features only. The retailer places initial orders based on preliminary demand forecasts at the beginning of the period and has an opportunity to modify its initial order after receiving perfect demand information. However, the final orders of the retailer are constrained by its initial orders...
Joint quantity flexibility under market information update Oskay, Mine Gülden; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2013) In this study, we consider a decentralized supply chain consisting of a single retailer and a single manufacturer who manufacture two products in a given single period. The retailer commits to purchase an aggregate order quantity for the products at the beginning of the period before information on the market condition is revealed. Accordingly, the manufacturer then determines its initial production quantities for the products. Once market condition is revealed the retailer allocates its initial order to in...
Limited quantity flexibility in a decentralized supply chain Karakaya, Selçuk; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010) In this study, we analyze a decentralized supply chain with a single retailer and a single manufacturer where the retailer sells two products in a single period. The products offered by the retailer consist of families of closely related products, which differ from each other in terms of a limited number of features only. The retailer places initial orders based on preliminary demand forecasts at the beginning of the period and has an opportunity to modify his initial order after receiving perfect demand in...
Supplier Selection For Assembly Components Under Lead Time Uncertainty Kürekci, Zeynep; Gürel, Sinan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2022-2) Supplied components constitute a great majority of companies’ total cost and supplier selection is one of the key operations of supply chain management in the competitive world. In this study, our main concern is to start assembly processes of an aircraft company at the planned starting date by receiving components that are required for each process on time. We decide on which components will be ordered from which suppliers under scenario based supplier lead times. The aim is to minimize total cost resultin...
