The Individually Responsible and Rational Decision Approach to Economic Lot Sizes for One Vendor and Many Purchasers: A Comment*
评论了Joglekar和Tharthare提出的供应商与采购商库存决策方法，指出其概念问题，并通过实例证明联合批量方法更优。
ABSTRACT Joglekar and Tharthare [6] presented an alternate approach for minimizing total inventory carrying and ordering costs of a vendor and the purchaser(s). This approach permits the vendor and the purchaser(s) to rationally select their operating policies. Joglekar and Tharthare claimed that their approach is more economical than the joint lot‐size approach. In this note we identify some conceptual issues in their approach and demonstrate the superiority of the joint lot‐size approach with the help of an example.
