新兴的先进技术使物流服务提供商能够提供供应链服务,如库存管理,而不仅仅是运输服务。在传统的零售商主导的系统中,零售商做出订购和转运决策,并将运输外包给物流服务提供商,而本文研究了一个以物流服务提供商为决策者的LSP主导的预防性转运系统,为在线零售商提供最优订购和转运策略解决方案。提出了一种最优双阈值转运策略。与零售商相比,物流服务提供商转运的运营成本更低,因此可以预期物流服务提供商可以承担转运与不确定需求之间的更大风险,从而导致物流服务提供商在转运方面更加积极。有趣的是,分析表明,LSP选择的转运量不一定高。如果LSP的递送成本或转运成本,或者零售商的损失销售成本、持有费或销售价格高,则LSP将比零售商在配送中心之间转移更少的库存。基于真实的工业数据,评价结果表明,在LSP主导的系统中,预防性转运可以使零售商和LSP的总利润比不转运情况下平均增加40.33%(对于首销期需求不确定性高的产品,甚至可以增加93.31%)。重要的是,即使转运成本对于零售商和LSP是相同的,使用由LSP而不是零售商决定的最优策略将产生6.37%的利润改善。
Emerging advanced technologies enable logistics service providers (LSPs) to offer supply chain services, such as inventory management, rather than only shipping services. In the traditional retailer-led system, the retailer makes the ordering and transshipment decisions and outsources shipping to the LSP, but this paper studies an LSP-led preventive transshipment system where the LSP is the decision-maker, providing the optimal ordering and transshipment policy solution to the online retailer. An optimal two-threshold transshipment policy is proposed for the LSP-led system. The LSP has lower operational cost for transshipment than the retailer, so one may expect that the LSP can bear more risk of mismatch between the transshipment and uncertain demand, leading the LSP to be more aggressive in transshipment. Interestingly, the analysis reveals that the transshipment quantity chosen by the LSP is not necessarily high. The LSP will transfer less inventory between distribution centers than the retailer if the delivery cost or transshipment cost of the LSP, or the lost sale cost, holding fee, or selling price of the retailer are high. Based on real industrial data, the evaluation result shows that preventive transshipment in the LSP-led system can bring an average increase of 40.33% (even 93.31% for products with high demand uncertainty in the first selling period) in the total profit of the retailer and the LSP over the non-transshipment scenario. Importantly, even if the transshipment cost is the same for both the retailer and LSP, using the optimal policy decided by the LSP rather than the retailer will generate a profit improvement of 6.37%.
