Abstract:
With the flexibility of delivery capacity and price discount taken into account,retailerled decentralized decision making,supplierled decentralized decision making,and integrated inventorytransportation optimization modes are considered.Optimization model for these modes are presented.Based on these models,performance is evaluated for different modes.It shows that,the retailerled decentralized decision making is better than the integrated inventorytransportation optimization in the sense of inventory cost,and the integrated inventorytransportation optimization is better than retailerled decentralized decision making in the sense of transportation cost.However,the integrated inventorytransportation optimization is better than retailerled decentralized decision making in the sense of total cost.
