Study on an Inventory Decision Model in an Assembly System

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, an assembly system with two suppliers and one assembler is introduced, and the supply chain operates under a VMI mode. Traditionally the suppliers decide their inventory quantity before the selling season, which is a classical newsvendor model. This paper assumes that the suppliers also can supplement products if the demand is unmet in the selling season. All members’ optimal decisions are gained. And a numerical example is introduced to illustrate our findings.
