A Analysis of the impact of delivery structure, i.e. the timing/ size of deliveries comparison from the vendors to the buyer, on the total costs of the system. of This paper presents and compares alternative delivery structures for the case of alternative a single buyer sourcing a single product from two vendors and their influence delivery on the cost position of the buyer and the vendor. structures in Six alternative delivery structures differing in their use of three design a features, i.e. unequal delivery frequencies at the vendors, a delay in the dual initiation of the production process at one of the vendors, and a delay in sourcing the shipment of completed batches. environmen Flexible delivery structure that employs all three design features always t leads to the lowest total system costs. using unequal delivery frequencies at the vendors leads to the highest improvement in total costs as compared with the other design features in many cases. Delaying the shipment of completed batches at the vendors, as compared with the other design features, is especially beneficial in cases where production and demand in the system are almost synchronised.

Previous research focused on the prodn. shipment schedule and number/size of batches transferred between both parties. Also it was assumed that the demand is deterministic. In this paper, demand is stochastic and a linear relationship between lead time and lot size along with non-productive time in the expression. The problem is to find the number of shipments n, the shipment size Q; and the reorder point s; that minimize the expected total cost Various values of non-productive lead time shows that higher lead times lead to higher reorder points and higher total cost Total cost, reorder points and batch sizes are sensitive to changes in inventory holding cost. 2012/Vale Maximizing Demand rate and holding cost per unit time both potentially dependent on ntine, inventory in stock level.

Ben-Daya et al. (2010) established a joint economic lot-sizing problem (JELP) for a three-layer supply chain with one supplier, one manufacturer, and multiple retailers, and then proposed a heuristic algorithm to obtain the integral values of four discrete variables in the JELP. By relaxing all integral variables as continuous variables, Ben-Daya et al. (2010) derived a near optimal solution to the problem using an algebraic method of completing perfect square without classical differential calculus techniquesby an algebraic method of completing the square, then proposed an algorithm to find the integral values for those four discrete integral variables. In this paper, we first complement some shortcomings in Ben-Daya et al. (2010), and then propose a simpler improved alternative algorithm to obtain the four integral decision variables.
