We consider a model for a serial supply chain in which production, inventory, and transportation decisions are integrated, in the presence of production capacities and for different transportation cost functions. The model we study is a generalization of the traditional single-item economic...

In designing coordination contracts, the conflict between theory and practice often appears in the form of a trade-off between the complexity of theoretically optimal solutions and their ease of implementation in the real world. In this study, we explicitly consider complexity as a design factor...
