Research on Supply Chain Inventory Optimization and Benefit Coordination with Controllable Lead Time

Abstract

In this paper, we propose two supply chain inventory models with controllable lead time, the first is proposed under centralized decision mode and the other is proposed under decentralized decision mode. The solution procedures are also suggested to get the optimal solutions. In addition, taking individual rationality into consideration, Shapely value method and MCRS method are used to coordinate the benefits of the vendor and the buyer. Numerical example is given to illustrate the results of the proposed models.
