Abstract

This paper presents production-inventory model for two-echelon system consisting of single vendor and single buyer. The proposed model contributes to the current inventory literature by incorporating quantity discount scheme into stochastic vendor-buyer model. Almost all vendor-buyer inventory models have discussed this scheme in single-echelon system and deterministic demand situation. Here, we assume that the demand of the buyer is normally distributed and the unmet demand is considered to be partially backordered. In addition, the lead time is variable and consists of production time and nonproductive time. The quantity discount is developed by using all-units quantity discounts. Finally, an iterative procedure is proposed to obtain all decision variables and numerical examples are provided to show the application of the proposed procedure.
