Supply chain coordination with product line design and a revenue sharing scheme

Many manufacturers sell their products through retailers and share the revenue with those retailers. Given this phenomenon, we build a stylized model to investigate the role of revenue sharing schemes in supply chain coordination and product variety decisions. In our model, a monopolistic manufacturer serves two segments of consumers, which are distinguished by their willingness to pay for quality. In the scenario with exogenous revenue sharing ratios, when the potential gain from serving the low segment is substantial (e.g., the low‐segment consumers' willingness to pay is high enough or the low segment takes a large enough proportion of the market), the retailer is better off abandoning the revenue sharing scheme. Moreover, when the potential gain from serving the low (high) segment is substantial enough, the manufacturer finds it profitable to offer a single product. Furthermore, when revenue sharing ratios are endogenous, we divide our analysis into two cases, depending on the methods of cooperation. When revenue sharing ratios are negotiated at the very beginning, the decentralized supply chain causes further distortion. This suggests that the central premise of revenue sharing—the coordination of supply chains—may be undermined if supply chain parties meticulously bargain over it.

基于空间几何关系的反交会规避机动方法研究

针对具有自主接近能力的航天器开展了反交会规避机动方法研究。首先,建立了仅测角相对导航模型,对完全不可观测机动进行定义,基于空间几何关系推导并证明了完全不可观测机动是不存在的。随后,以施加规避机动后追踪器对逃逸器的测量值与未机动时的差异为优化目标,利用矢量乘积原理设计目标函数,建立优化模型并对变量约束进行分析,随后采用遗传算法对最优规避机动方向进行优化。给出的仿真算例结果表明,提出的规避机动方向计算方法能够使目标函数值达到最小,从而提升追踪器对逃逸器的状态估计难度,降低其估计精度。本文方法为规避机动问题研究提供了一种新的视角,可为以主动接近航天器这类新对象进行的规避研究提供有益借鉴。     

鱼雷装备备件隶属关系的两级库存系统配置优化研究

备件库存系统配置优化是提高武器装备的战备完好性和降低寿命周期费用的重要途径,但在装备组成结构中,由于部件之间存在一定的隶属关系,并不是所有的项目都能够进行串件。针对现有两级库存系统备件配置优化研究的不完善之处,根据装备结构层次特点,通过分析鱼雷装备LRU和SRU备件两级库存系统,提出了备件初始配置方案下的备件库存缺货数模型,并在此基础上建立了基于备件隶属关系的两级库存系统配置优化模型。该模型以鱼雷装备使用度和库存费用为优化目标,通过优化备件库存配置结构,生成较好的备件库存配置方案,从而节约备件配置费用,避免造成资源浪费。

Designing and pricing menus of extended warranty contracts

Extended warranties provide “piece of mind” to a consumer in that product failures which occur after the base warranty expires are rectified at little or no cost. They also provide an additional source of revenue for manufacturers or third‐party providers, such as retailers or insurance providers, and help cultivate consumer loyalty. In this article, we analyze a number of extended warranty contracts which differ in design, including restrictions on deferrals and renewals. With the use of dynamic programming, we compute the optimal strategy for a consumer with perfect information and determine the optimal pricing policy for the provider given the consumer's risk characterization. We also provide insight into when different contracts should be issued. Finally, we illustrate how profits can be dramatically increased by offering menus of warranty contracts, as opposed to stand alone contracts, with the use of integer programming. Surprisingly, risk‐taking consumers provide the greatest benefit to offering menus. These insights can help a company develop a comprehensive warranty planning strategy for given products or product lines. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 2009
