Integrated Production-Inventory Supply Chain Model

Mathematical formulation of the model

Formulation of suppliers' individual average profit

Differential equation for the supplier in Figure 2 in [0,T] is given by

$\dfrac{dq_s}{dt} =\left\{ \begin{array}{lll} p_s−p_m, & {0 ≤ t ≤ t_s} \\ −p_m, & {t_s ≤ t ≤ T_s} \\ 0, & {T_s ≤ t ≤ T} \end{array} \right.$

with boundary conditions

$q_s (t) = 0$ and

$t = 0,T_s$ . Solving the differential equation with the boundary condition, we have

${q_s}(t) =\left\{ \begin{array}{lll} (p_s−p_m)t, & 0 ≤ t ≤ t_s \\ p_m (T_s - t), & t_{s} ≤ t ≤ T_s \\ 0, & T_s ≤ t ≤ T \end{array} \right.$

$H_s = \text{Holding cost of supplier}$

$= h_s [∫^{ts}_0 (p_s−p_m) tdt + ∫^{Ts}_{t_s} p_m (T_s−t) dt ]$

$=h_s [\dfrac{p_s t^{2}_{s}} {p_m} −p_s t^{2}_{s}]$ .

The total idle cost =

$id_s [TR+P_s t_s(\dfrac{1}{D_c}−\dfrac{1}{p_m})]$ , purchase cost =

$c_s p_m T_s$ , selling price =

$c_m p_m T_s$ , and ordering cost =

$A_s$ .

$APS = \text{Average profit for supplier}$

$=\dfrac{1}{T} [\text{revenue from sale-purchase cost-holding cost-idle cost-ordering cost}]$

$=\dfrac{1}{T} [(c_m−c_s) p_s t_s − h_s (\dfrac{p^{2}_{s} t^{2}_{s}} {p_m} − p_s t^{2}_{s}) − id_s (T_R + p_s t_s (\dfrac{1}{D_c} −\dfrac{1}{p_m}))−A_s]$

$\widetilde{id}_s=L(id_{s1},id_{s2},id_{s3})$ ,

$\widetilde{id}_r =L(id_{r1},id_{m2},id_{r3})$ ,

$\widetilde{id}_m= L(id_{m1},id_{m2},id_{m3})$ , and

$\widetilde{I}_{re}=L(I_{re1},I_{re2},I_{re3})$ . Then, the objective is reduce to the following:

For Case 1 ( $M ≤ T′ ≤ T R$ )

$A\widetilde{T}P_1 =\dfrac{D_c}{p_mT_s+D_R}[0(c_m−c_s)p_mT_s−h_s(\dfrac{p_st^{2}_{s}}{p_m}−p_st^{2}_{s})−\widetilde{id}_s(T_R+p_st_s(\dfrac{1}{D_c}−\dfrac{1}{p_m})) \\ \begin{aligned} &-A_{s}+\left(c_{r}-c_{m}\right) p_{m} T_{s}-h_{m}\left(n p_{m} T_{s} T_{R}-\frac{n^{2}+n-2 r-2}{2} T_{R} D_{R}-\frac{p_{s}^{2} t_{s}^{2}}{2 p_{m}}\right) \\ &-A_{m}+\left(c_{r_{1}}-c_{r}\right) p_{m} T_{s}-\frac{h_{r}}{2}\left(\frac{p_{m}^{2} T_{s}^{2}}{D_{c}}-2 n p_{m} T_{s} T_{R}-(2 n+1) T_{R} D_{R}\right) \\ &\left.-\widetilde{i d}_{m}\left(\frac{p_{m} T_{m}-n D_{R}}{D_{c}}\right)+\frac{(n+1) c_{r_{1}} \widetilde{I}_{r e} D_{c} M^{2}}{2}-\widetilde{i d}_{r} T_{R}-A_{r}\right] \end{aligned}$
