研究了在单周期模型下销售短生命周期产品的三级供应链的协调问题。制造商首先与零售商谈判贸易合同，然后与供应商谈判。我们通过制定定价规则，同时推迟最终合同价格的确定，构建了所谓的灵活退货政策。在每对相邻企业之间的退货政策下，未售出的产品或从未售出产品中拆下的使用过的模块从零售商逐级退回给上游企业，每个企业分担由于积压而造成的损失。我们证明了三级供应链可以通过适当的契约实现完全协调，渠道的总利润可以按任意比例在企业间分配。
This paper studies the coordination issue of a three level supply chain selling short life cycle products in a single period model. The manufacturer first negotiates the trade contract with the retailer, then with the supplier. We construct the so-called flexible return policy by setting the rules of pricing while postponing the determination of the final contract prices. With return policies between each pair of adjacent firms, unsold products or used modules dissembled from the unsold products are returned level by level from the retailer to the upstream firms and each firm shares in the loss due to the overstock. We show that the three level supply chain can be fully coordinated with appropriate contracts and the total profit of the channel can be allocated with any specified ratios among the firms.
