摘要:This article develops a supply chain coordination model with a single-vendor and a singlebuyer.The vendor manufactures the product in lots and delivers to the buyer in equalshipments. The vendor’s production process is not perfectly reliable. During a production run,the process may shift from an in-control state to an out-of-control state at any random time andproduces some defective items. The buyer whose demand is assumed to be a linear function ofthe on-hand inventory performs a screening process immediately after each replenishment.Moreover, the buyer’s inventory is deteriorated at a constant rate over time. The vendor-buyercoordination policy is determined by minimizing the average cost of the supply chain. It isobserved from the numerical study that channel coordination earns significant cost savings overthe non-coordinated policy.
