Integration of capacity, pricing, and lead-time decisions in a decentralized supply chain

Zhu, Stuart X. - In: International Journal of Production Economics 164 (2015) C, pp. 14-23

We consider a decentralized supply chain consisting of a supplier and a retailer facing price- and lead-time-sensitive demand. The decision process is modelled by a Stackelberg game where the supplier, as a leader, determines the capacity and the wholesale price, and the retailer, as a follower,...

Optimal time-based consolidation policy with price sensitive demand

Hong, Ki-sung; Lee, Chulung - In: International Journal of Production Economics 143 (2013) 2, pp. 275-284

We consider a single-item inventory system where shipments are consolidated to reduce the transportation cost using a time-based consolidation policy and develop a mathematical model to obtain the optimal price, replenishment quantity and dispatch cycle to maximize the total profit. The long-run...

Dynamic pricing for new and remanufactured products in a closed-loop supply chain

Chen, Jen-Ming; Chang, Chia-I - In: International Journal of Production Economics 146 (2013) 1, pp. 153-160

objective behind analytic formulation is to investigate the pricing behavior over time under a variety of parameter settings … including market property, return rate, and substitutability. Analytical and numerical results reveal that the pricing strategy … products, and the substitutable coefficient. Furthermore, we show that the proposed pricing strategy is an effective mechanism …

Dynamic replenishment, production, and pricing decisions, in the face of supply disruption and random price-sensitive demand

Zhu, Stuart X. - In: International Journal of Production Economics 146 (2013) 2, pp. 612-619

We study a joint decision problem for replenishment, production, pricing strategies in the face of both supply and … backordered. We characterize the optimal policies for raw-material replenishment, finished-goods production, and pricing. We find … level, the optimal production policy is a threshold type and the optimal pricing policy is a modified list-price type …

Robust price-setting newsvendor model with interval market size and consumer willingness-to-pay

Wang, Charles X.; Webster, Scott; Zhang, Sidong - In: International Journal of Production Economics 154 (2014) C, pp. 100-112

We consider a price-setting newsvendor problem with partial information. The newsvendor does not know the price-dependent probability distribution of demand, but is able to estimate lower and upper limits of the market size and consumer willingness-to-pay. The objective is to minimize the...

A simulation-based approach to price optimisation of the mixed bundling problem with capacity constraints

Mayer, Stefan; Klein, Robert; Seiermann, Stephanie - In: International Journal of Production Economics 145 (2013) 2, pp. 584-598

In this paper, we analyse a service provider’s mixed bundling problem for services such as sporting events or holiday packages. Pursuing the objective of maximising total revenue, the service provider has to determine static prices for each single product at the beginning of the selling...

Price and service competition between new and remanufactured products in a two-echelon supply chain

Wu, Cheng-Han - In: International Journal of Production Economics 140 (2012) 1, pp. 496-507

In this paper, we consider a supply chain consisting of two manufacturers and a retailer. The first manufacturer is a traditional manufacturer that produces the new product, while the second manufacturer operates a reverse channel producing remanufactured products from used cores. Both...
