This paper describes a mixed-integer programming formulation and dual ascent based branch-and-bound algorithm for the multiproduct dynamic demand coordinated replenishment problem with backlogging. The single sourcing properties of the formulation and the hierarchical structure of the...

This research studies master production schedule (MPS) and advanced order commitment (AOC) in two-stage supply chains. Experimental analysis, based on computer simulation, evaluates the impact of environmental and MPS design factors on optimal policy design as measured by schedule cost and...
