考虑信贷期限的供应链最佳策略研究——基于报童模型

Optimal Stategy with Credit Period in a Newsvendor Model

现如今,中小型企业大都面临资金短缺问题,而贸易信贷融资模式逐渐为企业所接受。文章研究了信用期限和货物残值对供应链最优策略的影响。考虑了一个单周期供应链,它由一个制造商和一个零售商组成,在报童模型中,零售商在观察市场需求后下订单,同时制造商提供贸易信贷并将产品交付给零售商。文章模型表明,产品残值随着信用期的增加而增加。此外,为了协调供应链,建议零售商应该提供一个收益共享合同给制造商。结果表明,零售商和制造商都能从合同中获益。

At present, most small and medium-sized enterprises are facing the problem of capital shortage, and trade credit financing mode is gradually accepted by enterprises. This paper studies the effect of the credit period and salvage on the supply chain's optimal strategy. We examine a single-period supply chain consisting of a manufacture and a retailer in a Newsvendor model in which the retailer places an order after observing the market demand, while the manufacture offers a trade credit and delivers products to the retailer. Our model indicates that the credit period increases with the salvage. Additionally, in order to coordinate the supply chain, we propose, in our model, that the retailer should offer a revenue-sharing contract to the manufacture. The result shows that both the retailer and the manufacture could benefit from the contract.
