Crashing Cost

This paper presents a coordinated vendor-buyer supply chain model in two stages with imperfect quality items, lead time and ordering cost reduction, and service level constraint. It is assumed that each arrival lot received by the buyer contains a percentage of imperfect quality items which follows a uniform distribution. A 100% screening process for detecting the defective items is conducted. Lead time crashing cost and investment for ordering cost reduction follow power function distribution. The shortage during the lead time is permitted and backordered partially for the buyer. However, the level of shortage is limited by service level constraint policy. The optimal order quantity, reorder point, lead time, ordering cost, and the number of delivery are determined by the Lagrange method such that joint total cost of the system is minimized and the service level constraint is satisfied. An iterative procedure is developed to determine the optimal solution and a numerical example is presented to illustrate the result of the proposed model.

Ordering Cost Reduction

This study focuses on an integrated vendor-buyer supply chain model where the lead-time and ordering cost reduction act dependently. The lead time demand of a product follows a normal distribution. The manufacturing process is imperfect. During production run time, a certain percentage of defective products are produced, which are immediately reworked. Trade-credit financing has been taken into consideration. The goal of this study is to minimize the joint total expected cost by providing an inter-dependent reduction strategy of lead-time and ordering cost along with the determination of the optimal values of lead-time, number of deliveries, order lot size, ordering cost, lead-time crashing cost, and the joint total expected cost. A solution algorithm and a numerical example are presented to illustrate and establish the integrated model. This model can be used in textiles, automobiles and computers industries.

Ordering Cost Reduction

This paper investigates the coordination issue in a decentralized supply chain having a vendor and a buyer for a defective product. The authors develop two inventory models with controllable lead time under service level constraint. The first one is propose under decentralized mode based on the Stackelberg model, the other one is propose under centralized mode of the integrated supply chain. Ordering cost reduction is also including as a decision variable along with shipping quantity, lead time and number of shipments. Computational findings using the software Matlab 7.0 are provided to find the optimal solution. The results of numerical examples show that centralized mode is better than that of decentralized mode, and to induce both vendor and buyer for coordination, proposed cost allocation model is effective. The authors also numerically investigate the effects of backorder parameter on the optimal solutions. Benefit of ordering cost reduction in both models is also provided.

The need for efficient electrical energy consumption has greatly expanded in the process industries. In this paper, efforts are made to recognize the electrical energy consumption in a two-echelon supply chain model with a stochastic lead-time demand and imperfect production, while considering the distribution free approach. The initial investments are made for quality improvement and setup cost reduction, which ultimately reduce electrical energy consumption. The inspection costs are considered in order to ensure the good qualities of the product. Centralized and decentralized strategies are used to analyze the proposed supply chain model. The main objective of this study is to reduce the overall cost through efficient electrical energy consumption in supply chain management by optimizing the lot size, the number of shipments, the setup cost, and the failure rate. A quantity-based transportation discount policy is applied to reduce the expected annual costs, and a service-level constraint is incorporated for the buyer to avoid a stockout situation. The impact of the decision variables on the expected total costs is analyzed, and sensitivity analysis is carried out. The results show a significant reduction in overall cost, with quality improvement and setup cost reduction ultimately reducing electrical energy consumption.

Ordering Cost Reduction

This paper presents a novel approach to safety stock management and investigates the impact of lead time reduction within an integrated vendor–buyer supply chain framework using present value where lead time and ordering cost reductions act dependently. In particular, the cost of the safety stock is determined by adopting a logistic approximation to the standard normal cumulative distribution. The service level is formulated in relation to the dimension of the single shipment, to the average demand of the buyer and to the number of admissible stockouts. We first discuss the case where the lead time and ordering cost reductions with linear function, and then consider the logarithmic functional relationship. Numerical examples including the sensitivity analysis with some managerial insights of system parameters is provided to validate the results of the supply chain models. The main contribution of this paper is introducing various types of ordering cost reduction in Braglia et al. (Appl. Stoc. Mod. Bus. Ind. 32 (2016) 99–112) by handling a new approach.
