But the samples of the sellers in this study are mainly the warehouses of distributors, not like the literatures in the past which focus on the manufacturers. As to the samples of the buyers, this research does not only discuss the situation of one retailer in the literature , but also primarily uses the multi-retailers. For this reason, the author tries to discuss the integrated inventory model for both buyers and sellers in a supply chain under the cooperative situation in a one-warehouse, multi-retailer distribution systems. In this model, the inventory model for retailers based on the basic EOQ model. In addition, this study thinks of the differences among the retailers’ quantity of demand. As for the inventory model of a warehouse, this research assumes that a warehouse can get the quantity discount from the manufacturers. Thus, the goal in this study is that each retailer have to decide its own optimal quantity of orders to satisfy every retailer’s instant needs, and get the least joint inventory cost of a warehouse and every retailer on the basis that the warehouse can take the quantity discount.
