A mathematical example of the two-echelon inventory model with asymmetric market information

摘要

This paper examines the extended two-echelon newsboy problem for a manufacturer and retailer in a supply chain with asymmetric market information. In this scenario, the retailer has better knowledge of the market's demand, and the manufacturer perceives the same demand. This applied model presents how the manufacturer can take advantage of the retailer's market information and improve the efficiencies in the supply chain channel.
