We examine the intertemporal and decentralization effects on managing disruption risks in a supply chain with lost … sales and fixed transportation cost. The disruption risk is continuously monitored via collaborative forecasting based on … inventory hedging under three hierarchies. We derive an easy-to-implement coordination contract and a simple policy structure …

parsimonious framework to study various problems of stochastic capacity investment and inventory management, including assembly … that are characterized by linear revenue and cost structures and a linear input-output transformation. While capacity and … inventory decisions are locked in before uncertainty is resolved, some managerial discretion remains via ex-post input …

In this paper, we investigate the effect of remanufacturing on capacity and production decisions. Inspired by the … focus on the case where remanufacturing is less costly and less capacity intensive than manufacturing. This setting is … are derived and it is analyzed under what conditions (specified by costs, capacity restrictions and demand …
