在本文中，我们建立了一个制造和分销供应链的模型，它的运作是为了满足对价格敏感的随机需求，产品的生命周期短，如时尚产品。我们考虑了两个具体的场景。制造商控制的情况是分销商与制造商共享价格敏感的随机需求，制造商控制供应链库存决策，并承担积压库存成本的风险。总代理商控制的方案以相反的方向工作。普遍的观点认为，制造商应该控制供应链决策(例如，通过供应商管理的库存)。我们的结果表明，这样的安排违背了销售短生命周期产品的分销商的利益。此外，我们还发现，当分销商控制供应链的库存决策并承担积压库存成本的风险时，供应链的总利润通常较高。
In the paper, we develop a model of manufacturing and distribution supply chains that are operating to meet price-sensitive random demand for products with short life cycles such as fashion products. Two specific scenarios are considered. The manufacturer-controlled scenario is one where the distributor shares price-sensitive random demand with the manufacturer, and the manufacturer controls the supply chain stocking decisions and bears the risk of overstocking costs. The distributor-controlled scenario works in the opposite direction. Prevailing wisdom suggests that the manufacturer should control supply chain decisions (e.g., via vendor-managed inventory). Our results indicate that such an arrangement is against the interest of a distributor selling short life-cycle products. Furthermore, we find that the total supply chain profit is generally higher when the distributor controls the supply chain stocking decisions and bears the risk of overstocking costs.
