Recent literature on supply chain coordination offers a wide range of game theoretic and optimization approaches that ensure efficient planning in the supply chain, but assume that the involved parties have complete information about each other. However, in reality, complete information is...

In this paper, after surveying short-term two-echelon supply channel coordination methods, we present an extended version of the newsvendor model in which the supplier has to fulfil all demand of the customer, even if this calls for an additional setup of production. Given uncertain demand...

The paper analyses the problem of coordination in supply networks of multiple retailers and a single supplier, where partners have asymmetric, private information of demand and costs. After stating generic requirements like distributedness, truthfulness, efficiency and budget balance, we use the...

In this paper we propose exact solution methods for a bilevel uncapacitated lot-sizing problem with backlogs. This is an extension of the classical uncapacitated lot-sizing problem with backlogs, in which two autonomous and self-interested decision makers constitute a two-echelon supply chain....

This paper addresses the problem of storage assignment in a warehouse characterized by multi-command picking and served by milkrun logistics. In such a logistic system, vehicles circulate between the warehouse and the production facilities of the plant according to a pre-defined schedule, often...

We address resource leveling problems in a machine environment. Given a set of m machines, one or more renewable resources, and a set of n tasks, each assigned to exactly one of the machines. Each task has a processing time, an earliest start time, a deadline, and resource requirements. There...

In this paper we present a case study from the lighting industry concerned with the scheduling of a set of job families each representing the production of a particular end-item in a given quantity. It is a job shop type problem, where each job family has a number of routing alternatives, and...
