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 order timing preferences. This paper considers order timing preferences within a strategic framework involving a supplier and one of its retailers in a multiple-retailer system. We identify and explore several mechanisms a supplier can use within this framework to induce early retailer order placement and improve expected cost performance.

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...
Effective network formulations for lot sizing with backlogging in two-level serial supply chains Solyali, Oguz; Denizel, Meltem; Süral, Haldun (2016-02-01) 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...
Optimal allocation and processing time decisions on non-identical parallel CNC machines: epsilon-constraint approach Gürel, Sinan (Elsevier BV, 2007-12-01) When the processing times of jobs are controllable, selected processing times affect both the manufacturing cost and the scheduling performance. A well known example for such a case that this paper specifically deals with is the turning operation on a CNC machine. Manufacturing cost of a turning operation is a nonlinear convex function of its processing time. In this paper, we deal with making optimal machine-job assignments and processing time decisions so as to minimize total manufacturing cost while the ...
Scheduling parallel CNC machines with time/cost trade-off considerations Gürel, Sinan (Elsevier BV, 2007-09-01) When the processing times of jobs are controllable, selected processing times affect both the manufacturing cost and the scheduling performance. A well-known example for such a case that this paper specifically deals with is the turning operation on a CNC machine. Manufacturing cost of a turning operation is a nonlinear convex function of its processing time. We also know that scheduling decisions are quite sensitive to the processing times. Therefore, this paper considers minimizing total manufacturing cos...
MULTI-LEVEL OPTIMIZATION OF AN AUTOMOTIVE CLOSED-LOOP SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK WITH INTERACTIVE FUZZY PROGRAMMING APPROACHES Yılbaşı, Abdullah; Çalık, Ahmet; Paksoy, Turan; Zanjirani Farahani, Reza; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm (Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, 2018-5-18) Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) management has attained appreciable attention over the last few years. CLSC management allows companies to manage their recovery and recycling activities of end products. Due to the latest developments in the world, producers are responsible for the collection, refurbishing, repairing and disassembly of end products at the end of their lives. This paper develops a mixed-integer CLSC model that is inspired by the automotive industry. In this model, we consider three Decision M...
