This study considers the serial lot sizing problem with backlogging in two-level supply chains to determine when and how much to order at a warehouse and ship to a retailer over a T-period planning horizon so that the external known demand occurring at the retailer is satisfied and the total cost at all levels is minimized. In particular, the uncapacitated two-level serial lot sizing problem with backlogging and the two-level serial lot sizing problem with cargo capacity and backlogging are formulated using effective shortest-path network representations, which define the convex hull of their feasible solutions. These representations lead to efficient algorithms with O(T-3) time for the uncapacitated problem and O(T-6) time for the capacitated problem. Furthermore, a tight reformulation with O(T-3) variables and O(T-2) constraints (resp.O(T-6) variables and O(T-5) constraints) is proposed for the uncapacitated (resp.capacitated) problem.

Order timing strategies in a single-supplier, multi-retailer system Bakal, İsmail Serdar (2010-01-01) The timing of retailer order placement is an important factor in supply chain performance in systems with uncertain end-customer demands. Retailers often prefer short order lead times, which permits the resolution of demand uncertainty prior to order placement, and reduces the risks associated with excess inventory. Suppliers, in contrast, prefer long lead times, in order to match supply output with retailer demand. These conflicting preferences create tension between a supplier and retailers regarding orde...
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...
One-warehouse multi-retailer problem under inventory control and transportation policies Solyalı, Oğuz; Süral, Haldun; Department of Industrial Engineering (2008) We consider a one-warehouse multi-retailer system where the warehouse orders or receives from its supplier and replenishes multiple retailers with direct shipping or multi-stop routing over a finite time horizon. The warehouse has the knowledge of external (deterministic) demands at the retailers and manages their inventories while ensuring no stock-out. We consider two problems with direct shipping policy and two problems with routing policy. For the direct shipping policy, the problem is to determine the ...
Comparison of lead time quotation policies in e-commerce environment Altuntaş, Ecem; Duran, Serhan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2019) This research is based on problems faced by e-commerce firms while determining lead time for their customers. It is hard to obtain an optimal policy for the tradeoff between serving on-time and quoting short lead times. On-time customer services are positively correlated with rating scores of firms in e-commerce websites. Therefore, in this study, the fluctuation of on-time customer service proportion is used as the main determinant of the rating of the firms and different policies of lead time quotation ar...
Optimization of Supply Chain Systems with Price Elasticity of Demand Kaplan, Ugur; TÜRKAY, METİN; Karasözen, Bülent; Biegler, Lorenz T. (2011-09-01) A centralized multiechelon, multiproduct supply chain network is presented in a multiperiod setting with products that show varying demand against price. An important consideration in such complex supply chains is to maintain system performance at high levels for varying demands that may be sensitive to product price. To examine the price-centric behavior of the customers, the concept of price elasticity of demand is addressed. The proposed approach includes many realistic features of typical supply chain s...
