The derivation of EOQ/EPQ inventory models with two backorders costs using analytic geometry and algebra

The EOQ model will have a century of its discovery in two years, and recently still, many researchers have been using alternative approaches to model and solve inventory systems. The EOQ/EPQ models have been developed using different optimization methods. However, in many of the works that deal with the EOQ/EPQ with backorders only linear backorders cost is considered. This paper proposes another easy method which uses basic concepts of analytic geometric and algebra. The proposed method finds the optimal lot size and backorders level considering both linear and fixed backorders costs. Additionally, this paper presents a review of the different optimization methods utilized in inventory theory.     

Discrete-time orthogonal spline collocation methods for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with wave operator

In this paper, discrete-time orthogonal spline collocation schemes are proposed for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with wave operator. These schemes are constructed by using orthogonal spline collocation approaches combined with finite difference methods. The conservative property, the convergence, and the stability of these methods are theoretically analyzed and also verified by extensive numerical experiments. In addition, some interesting phenomena which require further theoretical analysis are discussed numerically.     

石油钻井物料清单的随机数量模型研究

针对石油钻井物料投资大、物料消耗随机不确定、管理控制难的现状,本文通过构建石油钻井物料清单,提出以石油钻井物料损耗数量为随机变量,按钻井开次分阶段计算方式,分别采用期望值和渴望水平原则方法,构建石油钻井物料清单的随机数量模型。该模型的建立与应用,为石油钻井企业缩短物资供应周期、降低库存成本,实现钻井物料供应的优化管理提供了辅助支持。     

供应和需求不确定条件下物流服务供应链能力协调研究

为解决物流能力供应和需求不确定环境下,物流服务集成商和供应商能力采购和投资的协调问题,建立了Stackelberg主从博弈下物流服务集成商和供应商的决策模型,提出了基于收益共享的能力采购费用补偿协调机制,给出了实现供应链协同以及帕雷托改进的合约参数设计和取值区间.数值分析进一步验证了该协调机制的有效性,以及供应和需求波动对决策双方行为的影响.研究结果表明,物流服务集成商通过调节合约参数取值能有效协调供应和需求随机环境下物流服务供应链的采购和投资风险.     

第三方负责回收的Dowrside-Risk闭环供应链协调性研究

以风险中性制造商、第三方物流服务商和具有下行风险特性的销售商组成的闭环供应链系统为背景,证明了在Downside-Risk约束下收益费用共享契约不能使闭环供应链协调.通过将补偿策略附加到该契约,设计了风险共享契约,既能满足下行风险约束,又保证供应链参与方利润均有增量,实现了Downside-Risk约束下闭环供应链的协调.最后通过应用算例说明了风险共享契约的有效性和可行性.     

Vendor managed inventory contracts – coordinating the supply chain while looking from the vendor’s perspective

The paper studies coordination of a supply chain when the inventory is managed by the vendor (VMI). We also provide a general mathematical framework that can be used to analyze contracts under both retailer managed inventory (RMI) and VMI. Using a simple newsvendor scenario with a single vendor and single retailer, we study five popular coordinating supply chain contracts: buyback, quantity flexibility, quantity discount, sales rebate, and revenue sharing contracts. We analyze the ability of these contracts to coordinate the supply chain under VMI when the vendor freely decides the quantity. We find that even though all of them coordinate under RMI, quantity flexibility and sales rebate contracts do not generally coordinate under VMI. Furthermore, buyback and revenue sharing contracts are equivalent. Hence, we propose two new contracts which coordinate under VMI (one of which coordinates under RMI too, provided a well-known assumption holds). Finally, we extend our analysis to consider multiple independent retailers with the vendor incurring linear or convex production cost, and show that our results are qualitatively unchanged.     

考虑预付定金和退货的SMPEs产品定价与优化策略

借鉴中小制造型企业(SMPEs)在线渠道预售模式,考虑市场中存在预付订金和不预付订金的顾客,并将其退货情况引入到生产商利润表达式中,构建确定性和随机性市场需求下的SMPEs产品销售利润最大化模型,推导生产商产品最优定价的解析解;对比两种销售模式的利润,得到了生产商选择不同销售策略的条件。进一步考虑预付定金的产品数量、预交定金比例、退货数量是关于价格折扣敏感的情况,采用拉格朗日乘子法对生产商产品定价及优化问题进行研究,分析求得生产商销售策略(产品定价和价格折扣)的近似最优解。最后,通过数值算例对研究结论进行了验证并给出经济学解释。     

基于TAM理论的顾客心理契约形成机理研究——B2C情景下的实证研究

基于TAM理论研究了B2C情景下顾客心理契约的形成机理。通过相关文献评述,提出了B2C情景下顾客心理契约形成机理模型及假设,通过实证分析验证模型及假设。结果表明:感知易用和感知风险对感知有用具有显著的影响作用;感知有用以及感知易用通过顾客价值观/态度对顾客心理契约具有显著的影响;同时,感知风险和感知易用对顾客心理契约具有显著的直接影响作用。研究结论对B2C情景下服务商保持和维护客户关系具有积极作用,为网络商家建立积极地调控干预机制,促进顾客心理契约正效应感知提供参考。     

保兑仓模式下银行承兑汇票最优承诺费率研究

本文从汇票承诺费率的角度探索银行承兑汇票承诺费的减免对银行利润的影响。通过建立零售商、制造商和银行的利润模型并依次分析零售商订货量、制造商对融资模式的选择和银行汇票承诺费率,结果发现,保兑仓模式下订货量低于赊销模式,但制造商提前贴现汇票能冲抵订货量的劣势,对银行而言,将汇票承诺费率降低至临界值以下才能使保兑仓模式优于赊销而成为制造商的选择,最优汇票承诺费率是银行利润函数求解基础上考虑赊销与保兑仓模式竞争关系的结果。银行为执行“减税降费”政策而减免汇票承诺费有利于增加保兑仓业务量,同时也有利于提高供应链效率。     

考虑RFID应用的资金约束供应链订购决策研究

RFID技术的应用在有效降低商品库存损耗率的同时,也增加了供应链企业的运营成本,尤其是具有资金压力的供应链中小企业。在零售商具有资金约束的二级供应链下分析RFID技术的应用对资金约束供应链绩效的影响,通过构建贸易信贷下基于批发价合同的Stackelberg博弈模型,对比采用RFID前后资金约束供应链成员的均衡决策及期望收益,探讨了该供应链采用RFID的必要条件。结果显示当RFID标签成本低于某个阈值,或RFID库存损耗恢复率高于某个阈值时,供应链成员会选择采用RFID。此外,当RFID单位标签成本或零售商标签成本分摊系数较低,或RFID库存损耗恢复率较高时,制造商会提供比不采用RFID时更高的批发价;在采用RFID的条件下,零售商订购数量低于不采用RFID时的数量。通过设计收益分享契约实现了采用RFID时资金约束供应链的协调。
