供应链管理∶两级分销系统的最优订货策略

Supply chain management: Optimizing order strategies of two-echelon distribution system

把两级分销系统 ,即一个供应商、一个分销中心和若干零售商作为供应链来管理 ,其目标是使整个链中的总成本最小 .假设分销中心和零售商实行周期盘点、订货的策略 ,他们的交货时间是事先协商好的常量 ,而零售商处的需求所服从的分布是其分布函数的卷积为封闭的一类函数 ,由此得到了最优的订货策略 。

This paper thinks of the two echelon distribution system containing a single supplier, one distribution center (DC) and some retailers as a supply chain, with object to minimize the total cost in the supply chain. The paper assumes that the DC and retailers perform periodic review and order strategies, and their leadtimes are constants negotiated in advance, but the distribution functions of the demand at the retailers are a class of functions that their convolutions are closed. The paper gets optimum order policies, and gives the simple solution method under these assumptions.
