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 individual products and the manufacturer has to fulfill retailer’s orders fully, through expedited production if necessary. In this setting, we analyze the expected profits of both parties and compare them with two different benchmark settings where all decisions have to be given before information on market condition is available. Through a detailed computational analysis, we aim to assess the effects of the flexibility of allocating orders after information update on the profitability of the retailer and the manufacturer.

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...
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...
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. T...
Analysis of price-only and revenue sharing contracts in a reverse supply chain
Biazaran, Majid; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2016)
Original Equipment Manufacturers prefer to fully or partially outsource take-back activities, such as used product acquisition and handling, since dealing with reverse flow of goods is not their core competency. However, outsourcing may cause the supply chain to suffer from local optimization that results from decentralization. In such cases, different forms of contracts are offered to reduce the effects of decentralization. In this study, we consider a two-echelon reverse supply chain where a remanufacture...
An integrated inventory control and vehicle routing problem
Solyalı, Oğuz; Süral, Haldun; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005)
In this study, we consider a logistics system, in which a single supplier delivers a product to multiple retailers over a finite time horizon. Supplier decides on the amount to order in each period and services retailers facing deterministic dynamic demand via a fleet of vehicles having limited capacity. Each retailer has specific minimum and maximum levels of inventory in an order-up-to level inventory policy setting. The problem is to simultaneously determine the quantity of product to order to the suppli...
