Abstract
En 中文
This paper tries to investigate remarkable dynamics of retail and distribution centers, examining the impact of demand uncertainties, offered prices, supply disruption, and customer behavior. The main focus is on discriminative pricing within a fiercely competitive distribution system, considering customer behavior during supply disruption. By employing Stackelberg competition, a comprehensive model is constructed that unravels the competition between wholesalers and retailers in the distribution center, providing a profound understanding of the intricate dynamics at play. The model aims to maximize profit and utility for wholesalers and retailers, placing particular emphasis on behavior-based price discrimination at the retail level. To address supply disruption challenges, two resilience strategies are explored: wholesalers holding inventory and establishing supportive contracts with reliable suppliers. These strategies mitigate disruptions and ensure distribution system continuity. To demonstrate practicality, a real-world case problem is implemented and showcases the model’s efficacy. Then, sensitivity analyses provide valuable managerial insights. This study contributes to understanding how retailers and distribution centers optimize operations and decision-making in the face of price discrimination and risk of disruption.
