利用模糊事件的可信性测度理论、变分不等式理论建立了具有模糊需求的闭环供应链网络均衡模型,其中闭环供应链网络中的制造/再制造工厂存在产能约束,消费市场存在商品限制性价格上限.设计了求解闭环供应链网络均衡解的投影收缩算法,结合数值算例分析了产能约束与限制性价格上限对闭环供应链网络均衡解的影响.结果表明:消费市场中的商品会发生短缺,如果政府对竞争市场实行限制性价格上限,尤其当存在产能约束时商品短缺会更为严重.     

具有产能约束和价格干预的闭环供应链网络双渠道均衡

研究了闭环供应链网络双渠道均衡问题,其中制造/再制造工厂存在产能约束,通过分销/回收中心实体链和通过电子商务直销渠道,将其产品经由零售商/回收点销售给存在限制性价格上限的消费市场.借助变分不等式理论,建立了闭环供应链网络双渠道均衡模型,设计了求解均衡解的对数二次逼近的预测校正算法.从数值算例分析得到:消费市场中的商品会发生短缺,由于限制性价格上限的存在,当存在产能约束时情况会更为严重.另外,制造/再制造工厂加入直销渠道会增加制造/再制造工厂、零售商/回收点及闭环供应链的利润,但会减小分销/回收中心的利润.

产能约束下的闭环供应链制造商合作策略研究

构建了一个由制造商、回收商和零售商组成的闭环供应链模型,运用Stackelberg博弈对产能约束下制造商的合作策略进行了研究。研究发现:制造商始终有与回收商或零售商合作的经济动机,且当产能较小时,更倾向于与零售商合作;反之,则更倾向与回收商进行合作。此外,相对于无合作模式,不同合作策略对于回收率、供应链整体利润、新产品与再制品总体环境影响程度以及消费者剩余的影响会随着制造商产能大小的变化发生改变,而不同合作策略对于总体环境影响程度的影响与制造商的再制造水平也存在关联。     

Launching new products through exclusive sales channels

When launching a new product, a manufacturer usually sells it through competing retailers under non-exclusive arrangements. Recently, many new products (cellphones, electronics, toys, etc.) are sold through a single sales channel via an exclusive arrangement. In this paper we present two separate models that examine these two arrangements. Each model is based on a Stackelberg game in which the manufacturer acts as the leader by setting the wholesale price and the retailers act as the followers by choosing their retail prices. For each model, we solve the Stackelberg game by determining the manufacturer’s optimal wholesale price and each retailer’s optimal retail price in equilibrium. Then we examine the conditions under which the manufacturer should sell the new product through an exclusive retailer. In addition, we examine the impact of postponing the wholesale price decision and the impact of demand uncertainty on the manufacturer’s optimal profit under both arrangements.     

Multitiered Supply Chain Networks: Multicriteria Decision—Making Under Uncertainty

In this paper, we present a supply chain network model with multiple tiers of decision-makers, consisting, respectively, of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, who can compete within a tier but may cooperate between tiers. We consider multicriteria decision-making for both the manufacturers and the distributors whereas the retailers are subject to decision-making under uncertainty since the demands associated with the product are random. We derive the optimality conditions for the decision-makers, establish the equilibrium conditions, and derive the variational inequality formulation. We then utilize the variational inequality formulation to provide both qualitative properties of the equilibrium product shipment, service level, and price pattern and to propose a computational procedure, along with convergence results. This is the first supply chain network model to capture both multicriteria decision-making and decision-making under uncertainty in an integrated equilibrium framework.     

Competitive facility location on decentralized supply chains

This paper addresses a novel competitive facility location problem about a firm that intends to enter an existing decentralized supply chain comprised of three tiers of players with competition: manufacturers, retailers and consumers. It first proposes a variational inequality for the supply chain network equilibrium model with production capacity constraints, and then employs the logarithmic-quadratic proximal prediction–correction method as a solution algorithm. Based on this model, this paper develops a generic mathematical program with equilibrium constraints for the competitive facility location problem, which can simultaneously determine facility locations of the entering firm and the production levels of these facilities so as to optimize an objective. Subsequently, a hybrid genetic algorithm that incorporates with the logarithmic-quadratic proximal prediction–correction method is developed for solving the proposed mathematical program with an equilibrium constraint. Finally, this paper carries out some numerical examples to evaluate proposed models and solution algorithms.     

Synchronized routing of seasonal products through a production/distribution network

This paper presents a multi-period vehicle routing problem for a large-scale production and distribution network. The vehicles must be routed in such a way as to minimize travel and inventory costs over a multi-period horizon, while also taking retailer demands and the availability of products at a central production facility into account. The network is composed of one distribution center and hundreds of retailers. Each retailer has its demand schedule representing the total number of units of a given product that should have been received on a given day. Many high value products are distributed. Product availability is determined by the production facility, whose production schedule determines how many units of each product must be available on a given day. To distribute these products, the routes of a heterogeneous fleet must be determined for a multiple period horizon. The objective of our research is to minimize the cost of distributing products to the retailers and the cost of maintaining inventory at the facility. In addition to considering product availability, the routing schedule must respect many constraints, such as capacity restrictions on the routes and the possibility of multiple vehicle trips over the time horizon. In the situation studied, no more than 20 product units could be carried by a single vehicle, which generally limited the number of retailers that could be supplied to one or two per route. This article proposes a mathematical formulation, as well as some heuristics, for solving this single-retailer-route vehicle routing problem. Extensions are then proposed to deal with the multiple-retailer-route situation.
