“…We considered a planning horizon with 12 time periods and 6 customer classes arriving during the planning horizon for all problems. Two types of arrival time distributions are considered: the arrival times near the beginning of planning horizon (B) (e(i) ∼ uniform [1,4]) and the uniform distribution along planning horizon (U) (e(i) ∼ uniform [1,12]) [29,33].…”

The combination of traditional retail channel with direct channel adds a new dimension of competition to manufacturers’ distribution system. In this paper, we consider a make-to-order manufacturer with two channels of sale, sale through retailers and online direct sale. The customers are classified into different classes, based on their sensitivity to price and due date. The orders of traditional retail channel customers are fulfilled in the same period of ordering. However, price and due date are quoted to the online customers based on the available capacity as well as the other orders in the pipeline. We develop two different structures of the supply chain: centralized and decentralized dual-channel supply chain which are formulated as bilevel binary nonlinear models. The Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm is also developed to obtain a satisfactory near-optimal solution and compared to a genetic algorithm. Through various numerical analyses, we investigate the effects of the customers’ preference of a direct channel on the model’s variables.

“…Schneider and Klabjan [12] analyzed conditions for known inventory control policies to be optimal in presence of two different sales channels. Yang et al [13] considered the inventory competition of perishable products in a dual-channel supply chain with consideration of the delivery lead time in the online channel. Differing from those of prior studies, the focus of this research is to study how the dual-channel format affects the supply chain's competition ability facing different bargaining powers of two competing supply chains.…”

This paper studies the effect of dual-channel format on supply chain's competition ability and the effect of different bargaining powers on the competition between two supply chains and the optimal pricing decisions of all supply chain members when one supply chain introduces an online retailing channel. We develop four game models and obtain the optimal pricing decisions in closed form of these models and give some sensitivity analysis through numerical approach. Some new managerial insights are obtained as follows: Regardless of the two supply chain members' bargaining forms, the optimal price, the maximal demand, and the maximal profit decrease as the self-price sensitivity decreases. The industry holds advantage in getting higher profit when the supply chain without online retailing channel is led by the retailer. In addition, we find that a manufacturer as a leader of its supply chain can get more profit when the competing supply chain's leader is the manufacturer than when the competing supply chain's leader is the retailer.
