Optimization-based decision support for scenario analysis in electronic sourcing markets with volume discounts

作者:

Highlights:

• We consider supplier selection problems in e-sourcing with volume discounts.

• We propose an optimization model which allows for effective scenario analysis.

• The model reduces the number of parameter settings to explore considerably.

• We provide experimental results using exact algorithms and heuristics.

• We find that meta-heuristics can be effectively used for these problems.
