TLDR
In this paper, the effect of cost increment distribution patterns on the performance of a JIT Supply Chain was studied and it was found that funnel is still the best card distribution pattern for JIT-SC regardless of the cost increment distributions used.Abstract:
Cost is an important consideration in supply chain (SC) optimisation. This is due to emphasis placed on cost reduction in order to optimise profit. Some researchers use cost as one of their performance measures and others propose ways of accurately calculating cost. As product moves across SC, the product cost also increases. This paper studied the effect of cost increment distribution patterns on the performance of a JIT Supply Chain. In particular, it is necessary to know if inventory allocation across SC needs to be modified to accommodate different cost increment distribution patterns. It was found that funnel is still the best card distribution pattern for JIT-SC regardless the cost increment distribution patterns used.read more

A two-echelon allocation model and the value of information under correlated forecasts and demands
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of incorporating forecasts explicitly in a two-echelon allocation model which consists of a central depot and several retailers are explored, and the possible benefits on the system costs and inventory levels are investigated.

Trade‐off between maximizing throughput rate and minimizing system time in kanban systems
TL;DR: A general design rule is developed to maximize the average throughput rate and to minimize the average system time and most of the efficient sets generated by the design rule are identical to those generated by enumerating all combinations of kanban allocations.
