In this study, we consider the replenishment strategy of a buyer with two suppliers. Since its regular supplier is prone to disruptions, the buyer utilizes an options contract with a more expensive but perfectly reliable supply option. We introduce three models depending on the level of information available when the options from the reliable supplier are exercised: (i) Full information (both supply and demand information), (ii) partial information (only supply information), and (iii) no information. We derive the optimal replenishment strategy of the buyer in each of these models and characterize the conditions under which the reliable supplier is utilized. Through both analytical and numerical studies, we investigate the effectiveness of an options contract under different levels of information.

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...
Optimal pricing and production decisions in utilizing reusable containers Atamer, Busra; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin (2013-06-01) In this study, we focus on pricing and production decisions in utilizing reusable containers with stochastic customer demand. We consider a manufacturer that sells a single product to the customers in reusable containers with two supply options: (i) brand-new containers and (ii) returned containers from customers. The return quantity depends on both customer demand and the acquisition fee determined by the manufacturer. The unit cost of production using brand-new containers is different than the unit cost o...
Profit maximizing shipment consolidation with uncertain shipment requests Öztürk, Ergin; Savaşaneril Tüfekci, Seçil; Yüksel Özkaya, Banu; Department of Industrial Engineering (2022-8) In this study, a profit maximizing shipment consolidation problem is under consideration. There are multiple shippers characterized by uncertain shipment requests, who consolidate their orders and make dispatch decisions jointly, in order to maximize total profit. The problem is modeled as a continuous-time Markov Decision Process. For the two-shipper setting the structure of the optimal policy is characterized under certain conditions. For the multiple-shipper setting obtaining the optimal policy is diffic...
Analysis of an options contract in a dual sourcing supply chain under disruption risk Köle, Hüseyin; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2012) In this study, value of demand information and the importance of option contracts are investigated for a supply chain consisting of a buyer and two suppliers in a single period setting. One supplier is cheap but prone to disruptions whereas the other one is perfectly reliable but expensive. At the beginning of the period, buyer orders from the unreliable supplier and reserves from the reliable supplier through a contract that gives buyer an option to use reserved units after getting disruption information o...
Value-based risk management in defense projects pricing with a robust optimization approach Aker, Kerime Özge; Meral, Fatma Sedef; Department of Industrial Engineering (2015) In this study, we address the bid pricing problem of a defense company facing with supply chain and financial risks due to long-term project planning. Creating shareholder value has become a quite popular topic in business as value-adding companies are the only ones to survive in the market. We formulate the problem as a value-based performance and risk management model through robust optimization approach in order to cope with various ambiguities over project lifecycle with possible discrete scenario set. ...
