以往的研究表明，不对称信息触发的批量减少相比，供应链最优。因此，每个周期的设置成本是次优的高。为了分析，设置成本的降低是否可以减轻这种影响，我们扩展了不对称信息下批量决策的标准框架，允许投资设置成本降低。我们发现，不对称的信息往往会导致过度投资的设置成本降低。因此，设置成本降低对供应链绩效的整体影响是模糊的。我们发现，这些结果持有各种各样的投资功能。
Previous research shows that asymmetric information triggers a decrease of lot sizes compared to the supply chain optimum. Thus, the setup costs per period are suboptimally high. To analyse, whether setup cost reduction can mitigate this effect, we extend the standard framework of lotsizing decisions under asymmetric information by allowing investments in setup cost reduction. We find that asymmetric information tends to lead to an overinvestment in setup cost reduction. The overall effect of setup cost reduction on supply chain performance is therefore ambiguous. We show that these results hold for a wide variety of investment functions.
