The purpose of this paper is to investigate an one-supplier-one-retailer supply chain that experiences a disruption in demand during the planning horizon. While demand uncertainty has long been a central research issue in supply chain management, little attention has been given to disruptions...

We study the coordination of supply chains with a risk-neutral supplier and a risk-averse retailer. Different from the downside risk setting, in a conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) framework, we show that the supply chain can be coordinated with the revenue-sharing, buy-back, two-part tariff and...

We consider a two-stage serial inventory system whose cost structure exhibits economies of scale in both stages. In the system, stage 1 faces Poisson demand and replenishes its inventory from stage 2, and the latter stage in turn orders from an outside supplier with unlimited stock. Each...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric approach to evaluating the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) that use multiple inputs to produce multiple outputs. An assumption underlying DEA is that all the data assume the form of specific numerical values. In some...

In this paper we address the discrete resource allocation problem in a deterministic flow line. We assume that the processing times are convex and nonincreasing in the amount of resources allocated to the machines. We consider the resource allocation problem for a fixed sequence of jobs for...
