Coordination policy for a two-stage supply chain considering quantity discounts and overlapped delivery with imperfect quality

Optimizing a location allocation-inventory problem in a two-echelon supply chain network: A modified fruit fly optimization algorithm

“…all-unit and incremental quantity discount where the products are delivered in known packets with a certain number of items. Lin (2013) incorporated overlapped delivery and imperfect items into the production-distribution model.…”

Achieving Supply Chain Coordination Through Lot Size Based Discount

“…et al [32] Developed an optimal model to achieve the coordination of two echelon supply chains using a credit (delayed) payment option and/or a wholesale price discount offer. Tien-Yu Lin [33] Developed a coordination policy for a two stage supply chain considering quantity discounts and incorporating overlapped delivery and imperfect items into the two stage model. …”

Determining the Optimal Inventory and Number of Shipments for a Two-Resource Supply Chain with Correlated Demands and Remanufacturing Products Allowing Backorder

“…The past decade has seen a wide range of literature on reverse logistics (Chan, Yin, & Chan, 2010 [1]; Alamri, 2011 [2]; Mona 2011 [3]; Lin, C-C., 2013 [4]; Li, Y., & Chen, Z., 2015 [5]; Wakhid, A.J., Rahmad, S., Pringgo, W. L., 2018 [6]) and sustainable product design/manufacturing/operations (Yuan-Shyi, 2005 [7]; El Saadany & Jaber, 2010 [8], 2011 [9]; Gungor & Gupta, 1999 [10]; Jaber & El Saadany, 2009 [11], 2011 [12]; Hodgson & Warburton, 2009 [13]). Some recent reviews (Akcali & Cetinkaya, 2011 [14]; Lin, T-Y., 2013 [15]) have shown that inventory and production planning in a closed-loop supply chain are quantitative models. The literature on manufacturing products and waste disposal models assumes that items can be recycled indefinitely, but this is usually inconsistent with the facts.…”
