Analysing the effectiveness of vendor-managed inventory in a single-warehouse, multiple-retailer system

This paper considers a two-stage supply chain, consisting of a single warehouse and multiple retailers facing deterministic demands, under a vendor-managed inventory (VMI) policy.It presents a two-phase optimisation approach for coordinating the shipments in this VMI system.The first phase uses dire...
