Due Date Model Build and Analysis Based on Multi-Vendors

Abstract:

The due date set is affected by the coordination and cooperation between enterprise and customers and due date requirement and sensitivity degreed of different types of customers are different. In order to analyze more complex situations, the problem and its model including two vendors, one manufacturers and consumers is studied in the paper. Firstly, the model is built and analyzed in view of the vendors, and the optimal due date is obtained after calculation. The analysis results show that there is not any relationship between the order function and the demand quantity, the demand quantity does not affect the order period. Secondly, the model is built and analyzed in view of the manufacturer, and the optimal due date is obtained after calculation, and the inventory cost coefficient is calculated. The analysis results show that the inventory cost arising from delay in delivery is actually proportional function about the overall demand for A. Finally, the model is built and analyzed in view of the coordination between the manufacturer and the vendors, and the optimal due date is obtained after calculation, and the maximum of whole supply chain profit is calculated. According to the benefit analysis, the whole profit is indeed bigger than separate operation.
