TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed an approach by adding out-of-stock cost parameters which improves price discount contract of three-level supply chain, which can reach coordination and the optimal profits of the supply chain can be achieved.Abstract:
This paper studies price discount contract coordination of a three-level supply chain. Under the stochastic market demand, previous price discount contract did not consider shortage cost. We present an approach by adding out-of-stock cost parameters which improves price discount contract of three-level supply chain. The supply chain can reach coordination and the optimal profits of the supply chain can be achieved. Finally, an example illustrating comprehensive evolution method is simple and effective.read more

Retailer Stackelberg game in a supply chain with pricing and service decisions and simple price discount contract.
TL;DR: Analysis of the optimal equilibrium solutions and the results of the numerical examples show that if a manufacturer chooses the appropriate range of discount rate, he will gain more profit than when there is no discount given to the retailer.

Coordinating a three-level supply chain with quantity discounts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a three-level supply chain and explore the benefits of using quantity discounts on both ends of the supply chain to decrease costs, and they show that incorporating quantity discounts into both ends can significantly decrease costs compared to concentrating only on the lower levels.
