This paper contributes by incorporating works addressing supply chain coordination and investing in setup reduction program. Consider a two-echelon, EOQ-like inventory system consisting of a supplier and a buyer. We assume that both the supplier and the buyer can invest in setup cost reduction programs in order to benefit from small order sizes. However, the costs of investing in setup cost reduction programs are different for the two parties, leading to mismatches in individually optimal setup costs and order cycle times. We propose a supply chain coordination contract that makes use of quantity discount as an incentive transfer scheme for supply chain coordination.

The purpose of this study is to find analytic solution of determining the optimal capacity (lot-size) of multiproduct acyclic multistage production and inventory system to meet the finished product demand under the constraint of finite intermediate storage. Intermediate storage is a practical way to mitigate the material flow imbalance through the line of supply and demand chain. However, the cost of constructing and operating storage facilities is becoming substantial because of increasing land value, environmental and safety concern. Therefore, reasonable decision-making about the capacity of processes and storage units is an important subject for industries. The industrial solution for this subject is to use the classical economic lot sizing method, EOQ/EPQ(Economic Order Quantity/Economic Production Quantity) model, incorporated with practical experience. But EOQ/EPQ model is not suitable for the chemical plant design with highly interlinked processes and storage units because it is developed based on single product and single stage. This study overcomes the limitation of the classical lot sizing method. The superstructure of the plant consists of the network of serially and/or parallelly interlinked non-continuous processes and storage units. The processes transform a set of feedstock materials into another set of products with constant conversion factors. A novel production and inventory analysis method, PSW(Periodic Square Wave) model, is applied to describe the detail material flows among equipments. The objective function of this study is minimizing the total cost composed of setup and inventory holding cost. The advantage of PSW model comes from the fact that the model provides a set of simple analytic solutions in spite of realistic description of the material flows between processes and storage units. the resulting simple analytic solution can greatly enhance the proper and quick investment decision for the preliminary plant design problem confronted with economic situation.

This paper is concerned with the development of ameliorating inventory models. The ameliorating inventory is the inventory of goods whose utility increases over the time by ameliorating activation. The term ameliorating inventory is used in this paper at least, since the terminology is not standard well known. This study is performed according to areas; one is an economic order quantity(EOQ) model for the items whose utility is ameliorating in accordance with Weibull distribution, and the other is a partial selling quantity(PSQ) model developed for selling the surplus inventory accumulated by ameliorating activation. The proposed models cannot be solved directly in a closed form, thus we used a computer program and a graphical solution method to obtain the optimal ordering and setting quantity in this paper. Numerical examples to illustrate the effect of ameliorating rate on inventory polices are shown at the end of this paper.

The conventional inventory models are concerned with the items of which utilities and amount of numbers are constant over time. But in practice the items in inventory systems are increasing or decreasing. This study is concerned with the development of ameliorating inventory models. The ameliorating inventory is the inventory of goods whose utility increases over the time by ameliorating activation. The term ameliorating inventory is used in this paper at least, since the terminology is not standard well known. This study is performed according to areas; one is an economic order quantity(EOQ) model for the items whose utility is ameliorating in accordance with Weibull distribution, and the other is a partial selling quantity(PSQ) model developed for selling surplus inventory accumulated by ameliorating activation. Computer programs are developed to obtain the optimal ordering and selling quantity. Numerical examples to illustrate the effect of ameliorating rate on inventory polices are shown at the end of this paper.

As an effective means of price discrimination, some suppliers offer trade credit to the distributors in order to stimulate the demand for the product they produce. The availability of the delay in payments from the supplier enables discount of the distributor's selling price from a wider range of the price option in anticipation of increased customer's demand. Since the distributor's lot-size is affected by the demand for the customer, the distributor's lot-size and the selling price determination problem is interdependent and must be solved at the same time. Also, in many common business transactions, the distributor pays the shipping cost for the order and hence, the distributor's ordering cost consists of a fixed ordering cost and the shipping cost that depend on the order quantity. In this regard, we deal with the joint lot-size and price determination problem when the supplier allows delay in payments for an order of a product. The positive effects of credit transactions can be integrated into the EOQ (economic order quantity) model through the consideration of retailing situations, where the customer's demand is a function of the distributor's selling price. It is also assumed that the distributor's order cost consists of a fixed ordering cost and the variable shipping cost. We formulate the distributor's mathematical model from which the solution algorithm is derived based on properties of an optimal solution. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the algorithm developed.

The model applied in this paper is based on the theory of economic order quantity (EOQ). EOQ model is introduced to explain the improvement of the transaction efficiency through the cooperative purchase. We examine explicitly how horizontal cooperation affects vertical transactions. A result of the analysis is that a seller can prefer transacting with a cooperative rather than with each buyer separately, even if he reduces the selling price of the product. Without increasing the demand for the product, this result is that dealing with a cooperative, rather than separately with each buyer, decreases the transaction cost for the seller-buyers system, the cost reduction more than off-setting the effect of price decrease on the sellers profit. For a coopative consisting of any number of buyers, Pareto efficient ordering policies that maximize the joint cost saving for the seller-buyers system are identified. We then discuss the conditions under which a cooperative under consideration can be modified to increase efficiency gain. Next, we relax the assumption that all buyers participate in a single cooperative and examine the issue of how many cooperatives, each consisting of a subset of the buyers, should be formed to maximize the total cost saving for the seller-buyers system. Finally, the issue of shapley value to divide the cooperatives gain among its members is discussed.

Product shortage which causes backordering and/or lost sales cost is very popular in chemical industries, especially in commodity polymer business. This study deals with backordering cost in the supply chain optimization model under the framework of process-inventory network. Classical economic order quantity model with backordering cost suggested optimal time delay and lot size of the final product delivery. Backordering can be compensated by advancing production/transportation of it or purchasing substitute product from third party as well as product delivery delay in supply chain network. Optimal solutions considering all means to recover shortage are more complicated than the classical one. We found three different solutions depending on parametric range and variable bounds. Optimal capacity of production/transportation processes associated with the product in backordering can be different from that when the product is not in backordering. The product shipping cycle time computed in this study was smaller than that optimized by the classical EOQ model.

신용거래는 공급자가 고객의 수요를 증대 시킬 목적으로 경쟁 업체와의 가격 차별화 전략의 하나로 활용되어진다. 고객 입장에서 보면 공급자로부터 제품 대금에 대하여 일정 기간 동안 지불 유예가 허용되면, 재고 투자 비용이 절감되는 효과가 발생하고 결국 고객의 재고 정책에 긍정적인 영향을 미치게 된다. 전통적인 재고 모형의 경우 고객의 주문 비용은 주로 고정 비용으로 가정하였다. 그러나 많은 실제 문제의 경우, 고객은 고정 주문 비용과 함께 제품 운송을 위한 운송비용을 부담하고 있으며, 대부분의 운송비용은 구입량(주문량)에 따라 종속적으로 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 공급자가 고객에게 제품 대금에 대하여 일정 기간 동안 신용거래를 허용하는 상황 하에서 고객의 주문 비용이 고정 주문 비용과 함께 주문량에 따라 종속적으로 발생하는 운송 비용을 포함한 재고 모형을 분석하였다. 문제 분석을 위하여 재고는 시간이 경과함에 따라 일정률로 퇴화한다는 가정 하에 고객의 연간 총 재고 비용에 대한 모형을 수립하였고, 총비용을 최소화하는 경제적 주문량 결정을 위한 해법을 개발하였다.

전통적인 경제적주문량(Econo,ic Orde Quantity: EOQ) 모형은 제품을 공급 받는 즉시 제품의 구입비용을 지불한다는 기본 가정 하에 모형을 분석하였다. 그러나 제품 공급자는 경쟁 기업과의 차별화 수단으로 제품의 구입비용에 대하여 일정 기간 지불 유예를 허용하고 있으며, 또한 이와 같은 신용거래는 공급자의 수요 증대를 목적으로 거래량에 따라 탄력적으로 허용되는 것이 더 일반적이라고 볼 수 있다. 중간유통자 입장에서 볼 때 신용거래는 제품 구입 비용에 대한 일시적인 유용이 가능하여 결과적으로 재고 투자 비용을 절감하는 효과를 기대할 수 있고, 결국 최종 고객의 수요 증대를 목적으로 판매 가격을 낮추는 요인이 될 수 있다. 이와 같은 관점에서 고객의 연간 수요는 중간유통자의 판매 가격에 선형적으로 감소하는 함수라는 가정 하에 중간유통자 관점의 최적 주문량과 판매 가격을 결정하는 모형을 분석하고자 한다. 문제 분석을 위하여 제품은 시간이 경과함에 따라 일정율로 퇴화한다는 경우에 중간유통자의 연간 수익에 대한 모형을 수립하고, 총 수익을 최대화하는 경제적 주문량과 판매 가격 결정으로 위한 해법을 제시하고자 한다.

본 연구의 목적은 교환기 및 가입자 선로에 대한 투자계획의 수립 즉 적정수준의 공급주기와 공급량을 산정하는 방안을 모색해 보는 것이다. 이와 같은 연구를 수행하기 위하여 우선 한국통신의 공급계획수립업무에 대한 현황파악과 함께 한국통신의 공급계획수립에 적용할 수 있는 이론적 모형을 다각도로 검토해 보았다. 그 결과 재고모형이 가장 적합하다고 판단되어 재고모형의 여러 대안을 현행 공급계획수립방법과 비교하여 공급주기와 총비용을 비교분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 Economic Order Quantity(EOQ)모형, Dynamic Lot Size(DLS)모형, 그리고 Simulation이 분석의 도구로 사용되었으며, Simulation은 두가지 방법을 적용하였다. 첫번째 방법은 개별 전화국을 대상으로 simulation을 실시하여 최소의 비용을 보이는 공급주기를 각 전화국별로 산정하는 것이며, 두번째 방법은 모든 전화국에 동일한 공급주기를 적용하여 개별 전화국에서 발생하는 비용의 총합계가 최소화되는 공급주기를 산정하는 것이다. 각 대안별로 공급주기와 총비용을 산정해 본 결과 교환기의 경우는 총비용면에서 현행방법과 본 연구에서 제안한 대안들간에 커다란 차이는 없었으나, 모든 전화국에 동일한 공급주기를 일률적으로 적용시키는 것보다 각 전화국의 수요증가형태에 맞는 공급주기를 별도로 산정하여 적용시키는 것이 보다 경제적이었다. 한편, 가입자선로의 경우는 본 연구에서 제시한 대안들이 현행방법에 비해 연간 수백억원에 이르는 투자지출을 절감 할 수 있음을 보였다.
