A Study of Multiperiod Global Supply Chain Network Equilibrium Model
In this paper,we develop a multitiered dynamic global supply chain network equilibrium model in which decision-makers determine their optimal strategies for seeking to maximize their profits over the multiperiod time planning horizon. Specifically,the model consists of three tiers of decision-makers: manufacturers,retailers and consumers at different demand markets,who compete within a tier but may cooperate between tiers. In a dynamic setting,we investigate the interplay of the various decisionmakers,derive their optimality conditions,establish the equilibrium conditions,and provide the finitedimensional variational inequality formulation which is then utilized to obtain qualitative property regarding to the existence of the equilibrium model under reasonable assumptions. Finally,a numerical example is considered and discussed for illustration purpose.
