Quantity Flexibility contract is an arrangement where parties agree upon a scheme of forming ranges on volumes for their future transactions. The contract is based on setting upper and lower limits on replenishment orders as simple multiples of point estimates updated, published and committed by the buyers. We introduce a manufacturer with a limited capacity; also capable of subcontracting, for deliveries with a known lead time. He offers a Quantity Flexibility (QF) contract to a buyer while he has an active contract with another buyer serving a market with known demand forecast distributions. Using two-stage stochastic programming we study the effects of flexibility multiples and the environmental factors on the buyers̕ incentives and manufacturer̕s capacity planning. Finally, the motivations of the Supply Chain actors to behave independently or to be involved into the integrated iv supply chain where information asymmetry is removed are investigated. Our experiments underline the critical roles played by the forecast accuracy and information sharing.

Decision Making and the Price Setting Newsvendor: Experimental Evidence KOCABIYIKOĞLU, AYŞE; GÖĞÜŞ, CELİLE ITIR; Gönül, Mustafa Sinan (Wiley, 2016-02-01) We present an experimental study of the price-setting newsvendor problem, which extends the traditional framework by allowing the decision maker to determine both the selling price and the order quantity of a given item. We compare behavior under this model with two benchmark conditions where subjects have a single decision to make (price or quantity). We observe that subjects deviate from the theoretical benchmarks when they are tasked with a single decision. They also exhibit anchoring behavior, where the...
Flexibility analysis: a methodology and a case study Kahyaoglu, Y; Kayaligil, S; Buzacott, JA (Informa UK Limited, 2002-11-10) A methodology for analysing manufacturing flexibility is proposed. A real-life case is discussed to demonstrate the proposed methodology. The case involves the grinding operations of an engine manufacturer. As an integral part of the methodology, statistical analyses using response surface methodology are carried out. Potential applications of the proposed methodology are discussed. Planning models and flexibility measure used are outlined in the appendices.
Interim efficient auctions with interdependent valuations Küçükşenel, Serkan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-05-01) We provide a characterization of interim efficient auctions and examine their properties in the presence of informational interdependent valuations. We show that buyers can be awarded the auctioned item less often than the efficient level. We also show that buyers obtain the item more often as the degree of heterogeneity in preferences increases, even though profitability of trade does not depend on the heterogeneity in preferences.
JOINT PRICING AND REPLENISHMENT DECISIONS FOR NON-INSTANTANEOUS DETERIORATING ITEMS WITH PARTIAL BACKLOGGING, INFLATION- AND SELLING PRICE-DEPENDENT DEMAND AND CUSTOMER RETURNS Ghoreishi, Maryam; Mirzazadeh, Abolfazl; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Nakhai-Kamalabadi, Isa (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 2015-07-01) This paper develops an Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items with selling price- and inflation-induced demand under the effect of inflation and customer returns. The customer returns are assumed as a function of demand and price. Shortages are allowed and partially backlogged. The effects of time value of money are studied using the Discounted Cash Flow approach. The main objective is to determine the optimal selling price, the optimal length of time in which there is...
Relationship between financial development and logistics performance and their effects on the competitiveness: an empirical cross-country study Özdemir, Levent; Küçükkaya, Halit Engin; Department of Business Administration (2017) Well-functioning financial system efficiently produce information about possible investments to allocate capital, monitor firms after allocating capital, facilitate risk management, mobilize savings and ease the exchange of goods/services. These services significantly affect the countries’ efficiency of logistics which is backbone of trade. As financial development enables the logisticians to access various financial products and services to finance capital assets, working capital and inventory; to insure o...
