Abstract
We studied a decentralised three-layer supply chain including a supplier, a producer and some retailers. All the retailers order their demands to the producer and the producer order his demands to the supplier. We assumed that the demand is price sensitive and shortage is not permitted. The goal of the paper is to optimise the total cost of the supply chain network by coordinating decision-making policy using Stackelberg–Nash equilibrium. The decision variables of our model are the supplier's price, the producer's price and the number of shipments received by the supplier and producer, respectively. To illustrate the applicability of the proposed model numerical examples are presented.

An Inventory Model for Decaying Items Under Preservation Technological Effect with Advertisement Dependent Demand and Trade Credit

TL;DR: In this article, an inventory model is elaborated for decaying products under the effect of preservation of items, which is a major factor in the study of inventory control techniques, and the optimal values of total cost, preservation technology cost and advertisement frequency are calculated.

A Quantity Discount Pricing Model to Increase Vendor Profits

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze how a supplier can structure the terms of an optimal quantity discount schedule to maximize the supplier's incremental net profit and cash flow by adjusting its present pricing schedule to entice a major customer to increase its present order size by a factor of "K".

Channel coordination and quantity discounts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for analyzing the impact of joint decision policies on channel coordination in a system consisting of a supplier and a group of homogeneous buyers, where the joint decision policy characterized by the unit selling price and the order quantity is coordinated through quantity discounts and franchise fees.
