This paper studies a nonstationary inventory and pricing problem. We consider a two-echelon supply chain with one supplier and two retailers, in which the supplier carries all inventory to supply the retailers. Both the reserved and pooled inventory systems are analyzed. Results with normally...

In this paper, we study a novel network design problem for the fourth-party logistics network (4PLN) to cope with accidental demand surges. A chance-constrained stochastic programming model is established to minimize the overall cost for 4PLN under service-level targets, where the stochastic...
