This dissertation focuses on the recent supply chain initiatives, such as Vendor
Managed Inventory (VMI) and Third-Party Logistics (3PL), enabling the coordination
of supply chain entities; e.g., suppliers, buyers, and transporters. With
these initiatives, substantial savings are realizable by carefully coordinating inventory,
transportation, and pricing decisions. The impact is particularly tangible when
the transporter's role and the transportation costs are explicitly incorporated into
decision mechanisms that aim to coordinate the supply channel. Furthermore, expanding
the perspective of channel coordination by introducing the transporter as
an individual party in the channel provides tangible benefits for each member of the
channel.
Recognizing the need for further analytical research in the field of multi-echelon
inventory and channel coordination, we developed and solved a class of integrated
inventory and transportation models with explicit shipment consolidation considerations.
Moreover, we examined transporter-buyer and supplier-transporter-buyer
channels and solved centralized and decentralized models for these channels with the
aim of investigating the impact of transporters on channel performance. In this dissertation,
we also developed efficient coordination mechanisms between the transporter
and the other parties in the channel. |
