Inventory Coordination under Asymmetric Information

摘要：

In a supply chain system with one supplier and one retailer, the information about the retailers storage cost is asymmetric. Before inventory coordination, the supplier and the retailer choose their lot sizes alone. But its not optimal decision for the whole system. The paper investigates quantity discounts models,and proposes an incentive scheme, an inventory coordination model under asymmetric information from the point of view of maximizing the suppliers profits. The paper also discusses the distribution of the incremental profit after the incentive scheme is adopted by both the supplier and the retailer. Finally, an example illustrates the application of the model.
