| Popis: | 92 This study analyzes how to increase the profit and total cost of the manufacturer and retailers in a supply chain by order coordination, price discount and multiple orders. Order coordination considered in this thesis is between a manufacturer and multiple retailers in a decentralized multi-echelon supply chain system. The manufacturer, who outsources production to an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), offers a price discount to retailers when they coordinate the timing of their orders within the manufacturer's reorder cycle. Using the price discount scheme, the manufacturer gives retailers enough incentives to order more goods at the first order and hence lowers his inventory cost effectively. But from retailers' viewpoints, ordering more volume means higher inventory cost. Hence, in order to reach the win-win situation between the manufacturer and retailers, this study will apply the multiple ordering strategy into the coordination model. With the multiple ordering strategy, retailers can divide a large volume discount order into multiple small orders and lower the inventory holding cost. Therefore, the objectives of the thesis are to find the manufacturer's optimal price discount policy, and analyze the impact of combining multiple orders with the price discount scheme, and explore the managerial insights for decision making of the manufacturer and the retailers. |
