Competitive and Cooperative Inventory Management in a Two-Echelon Supply Chain With Lost Sales Abstract This paper studies inventory management in a two echelon supply chain with stochastic demand and lost sales. The optimal policy is evaluated and compared with the competitive solution, the outcome of a game between a supplier and a retailer in which each firm attempts ot maximize its own profit. It is shown that supply chain profit in the competitive solution is always less than the optimal profit. However, the magnitude of the competition penalty is sometimes a trifle, sometimes enormous. Several contracts are considered to align the firms’ incentives so that they choose supply chain optimal actions. These contracts contain one or more of the following elements: a retailer holding cost subsidy (which acts like a buy-back/return policy), a lost sales transfer payment (which acts like a revenue sharing contract) and inventory holding cost sharing.

  • Issue: Ethics and the Supply Chain Ethics and the Supply Chain
    Issue: Ethics and the Supply Chain Ethics and the Supply Chain By: Tam Harbert Pub. Date: April 25, 2016 Access Date: September 25, 2021 DOI: 10.1177/237455680209.n1 Source URL: http://businessresearcher.sagepub.com/sbr-1775-99621-2728048/20160425/ethics-and-the-supply-chain ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Can businesses police the behavior of global suppliers? Executive Summary Under pressure from a growing movement of activists determined to make supply chains more ethical, businesses that once disclaimed responsibility for their overseas suppliers' behavior are re-examining that stance. Companies are scrutinizing the supply chain on questions ranging from environmental standards and product safety to the treatment of workers. Some businesses are adopting corporate responsibility codes, while others are wielding new technologies to enhance transparency. As they try to meet this challenge, companies are confronting numerous obstacles, including far-flung supply chains and regulatory standards that vary by country. But the consequences of failure can be high: Bad news about a company's supply chain can damage reputation, depress sales and alienate investors—and the negative reviews can spread quickly in today's hyperkinetic information environment. These are among the issues companies and their critics are debating: Do ethical supply chains enhance profitability? Is it possible for a company to ensure its supply chain is ethical? Are voluntary standards, industry certifications and governmental regulations doing enough? Overview A little more than a year ago, Lumber Liquidators was on top of the world. The Virginia-based company was the largest retailer of hardwood flooring in North America, with net sales topping $1 billion annually and a stock price that had soared to more than $51 a share from $14 in 2011.
