Collaborative Vendor Managed Inventory Models for Managing 2-Echelon Supply Chains with the Consideration of Shortage in Demand

국문 초록 (Abstract)

공급 망 관리의 주요 이슈중의 하나는 재고부족(Shortage)이 허용되고 벤더가 공급자와 구매자 모두의 재고 관리를 책임지는 상황 하에서, 재고수준을 결정하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 두 개의 벤더재고관리 (Vendor managed inventory, 이하 VMI) 모델을 제시하고 각각의 해법을 개발한다. 두 모델 중 하나는 단일 구매자 및 단일 공급자 문제이고, 다른 하나는 두 구매자 및 단일 공급자 문제이다. 본 연구가 제안하는 방법론은 VMI모델이 전통적인 모델과 비교해서 어떠한 상황에서 적은 비용으로 운영될 수 있는지 결정하는 조건들을 유도해 낸다. 또한 수치예제를 통해서 제안된 방법론들의 타당성을 입증해 보인다.

One of the most important issues of managing a supply chain is to determine the inventory level whenever shortage is permitted and vendor is responsible for management of the both buyer and supplier’s inventory. We present two vendor managed inventory models in the form of two-echelon supply chain models for: 1) one buyer-one supplier problem, and 2) two buyers- one supplier problem. We assume that shortage is permitted. The proposed methods of this paper provides a simple condition, which makes it easy to decide when and how vendor managed inventory model costs less than traditional one. The paper is supported with some numerical examples to show the implementation of the proposed methods.
