A demand-based optimization approach to find market equilibria in oligopolies
Oligopolistic competition occurs often in transportation as well as in other markets due to reasons such as barriers to entry, limited capacity of the infrastructure and external regulations. In transport oligopolies, suppliers are profit maximizers and ta ...
2019Supply Chain Disruption Risk Management
Florian Christopher Matthias Lücker
It is well established that firms are exposed to the risk of supply chain disruptions. Many firms build risk mitigation strategies in order to increase the resilience of their supply chains. In this dissertation we present three essays that study operation ...
EPFL2016On the role of trust types and levels on inventory replenishment decision
Rémy Glardon, Amin Kaboli, Naoufel Cheikhrouhou, Maryam Darvish
Using a participatory simulation platform, this paper investigates the inventory replenishment decisions made under different trust categories. Depending on the type of trust (trust in supplier versus trust in customer) and level of trust (high versus low) ...
2014The Effect of Coercive Power on Supply Chain Inventory Replenishment Decisions
Supply chains often consist of stakeholders with different power levels collaborating with each other in order to meet customer demand. This im-balance of power along the supply chain is a critical factor that affects its short and long-term behavior, as w ...
Bernard Grabot, Bruno Vallespir, Samuel Gomes, Abdelaziz Bouras, Dinitris Kiritsis2014Trust and Inventory Replenishment Decision Under Continuous Review System
This thesis examines the impact of inventory manager’ trust on their replenishment decision. We conduct this study in the experimental environment and design an experiment with unknown market demand, local information, and under continuous replenishment re ...
EPFL2013Optimal inventory policies with non-stationary supply disruptions and advance supply information
We consider the production/inventory problem of a manufacturer (or a retailer) under non-stationary and stochastic supply availability. Although supply availability is uncertain, the supplier would be able to predict her near future shortages and hence sup ...
2012A three-echelon supply chain with price-only contracts and sub-supply chain coordination
This paper studies coordination in a three-echelon supply chain and examines the impact of sub-supply chain coordination (sub-coordination). Our analysis is based on the price-only contracts that are commonly used in practice. The model is of the newsvendo ...
2012Comparison of hybrid production planning and control strategies for supply chain management: A multi-criteria approach
In most of the cases, a supply chain management strategy addressing material flows control consists of push, pull or hybrid controlled system. This paper presents the development of a multi-criteria decision making approach for the comparison of hybrid str ...
2012Optimal Inventory Policies with Non-stationary Supply Disruptions and Advance Supply Information
We consider a periodic review, single-item, deterministic demand inventory model under non-stationary supply availability which has an all-or-nothing type of structure. Supply availability information is provided by the supplier which we refer as advance s ...
