Transshipment and Its Impact on Supply Chain Members’ Performance
将Dong和Rudi(2004)关于转运的关键结果推广到一般需求分布,通过将转运库存问题等价转化为调整需求后的报童问题,分析转运对供应链成员绩效的影响,并提出分析风险共担影响的新方法。
This note extends some of the key results of Dong and Rudi (2004) to general demand distributions. This generalization is achieved in two steps. First, we build on the analysis of Dong and Rudi to demonstrate that an inventory problem with transshipment is equivalent to a newsvendor problem with an adjusted demand. Then, we study the impact of transshipment by comparing the adjusted demand with the original demand. In addition to extending the results in the existing literature, this note presents a novel approach for analyzing the impact of risk pooling.
