In this paper, we developed model integrated supply chain model with drop-shipper players.  The aim of the study is to integrate players in the supply chain system that one of its players is a drop shipper. This coordination model considers the policy of late payment and prosecution for delivery of goods. Previous, The author has described the supply chain system in detail. The experiments were conducted into different case scenarios, where each scenario would represent the actual system that occurred. Then also conducted sensitivity analysis on some predicted variables significantly influence the total cost of the supply chain. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that coordination with consideration of delay in payment and penalty contract for drop ship has successfully integrated the players in the supply chain system under study. This can be proved by the lower total cost of the supply chain when it is integrated with that consideration.

A successful supply chain must be able to operate at the lowest cost while providing the best customer service as well as environmental protection. As industrial players are under pressure but mostly unprepared to take back products after their usage, logistics network design becomes an even more important issue. To allow for a maximum of flexibility and efficiency, we consider an integrated design of the forward/reverse logistics network using full delivery graph. We apply a Memetic Algorithm with a novel population generation to find a near optimal solution for large size problems. The effect of different parameters on the behavior of the proposed Metaheuristic Algorithm is investigated. Using the experimental work to find the best parameters for this problem is the outlook of these researches.
