Abstract

This paper considers a buyer's procuring strategy where the
buyer purchases products from a supplier in order to minimize his
total cost. Assume that the customer arrivals follow a Poisson
process, a base-stock policy is implemented by the buyer, and the
supplier will afford partial operating cost incurred by the buyer;
The cost shared by the buyer includes procuring cost and some
operating cost; The supplier does not hold the inventory and her
production time is exponentially distributed. The objective of the
supplier is to maximize her profit. The buyer designs a contract
to minimize his total expected cost. Two different cases are
considered: One potential supplier and many competing suppliers.
The optimal control approaches are used to design the buyer's
optimal mechanism and some simple procurement mechanisms are
presented.

Key words

Asymmetric information / contract / supply chain management.
