A single-manufacturer multi-retailer integrated inventory model for items with imperfect quality, price sensitive demand and planned back orders
RAIRO. Operations Research, Tome 55 (2021) no. 6, pp. 3459-3491

In this paper, we develop an integrated two-echelon supply chain inventory model with a single-manufacturer and multi-retailers in which each retailer’s demand is dependent on selling price of the product. The manufacturer produces a single product and dispatched the order quantities of the retailers in some equal batches. The production process is imperfect and produces imperfect quality of products with a defective percentage which is random in nature and follows binomial distribution. Inspection process is performed by the retailers to classify the defective items in each lot delivered from the manufacturer. The defective items that were found by the retailer will be returned to the manufacturer at the next delivery. Lead time is random and it follows an exponential distribution. We also assume that shortages are allowed and are completely backlogged at each retailer’s end. A closed form solution to maximize the expected average profit for both the centralized and the decentralized scenarios are obtained. The developed models are illustrated with the help of some numerical examples using stochastic search genetic algorithm (GA). It is found that integration of the supply chain players results an impressive increment in the profit of the whole supply chain. Sensitivity analysis is also performed to explore the impacts of key-model parameters on the expected average profit of the supply chain.
