Ordering Policies of Post-Ripening Fruit Supply Chain under Physical Loss
Publication: ICTE 2019
ABSTRACT
The physical loss of the post-ripening fruit occurs mainly in the retail stage. This paper studies the ordering policies of the post-ripening fruit supply chain under the physical loss. And the retailer's ordering policies in both decentralized and centralized systems are discussed. The natural loss rate of the post-ripening fruit is considered as a decision variable in the supply chain. The results show that when the natural loss rate is low and medium, the retailer should choose the decentralized ordering policy in order to reduce the procurement costs or the deterioration losses. When the natural fruit loss rate is high, close to the maximum shelf life, the retailer should adopt the centralized ordering policy and try to reduce the loss of degradation with the highest delivery frequency and minimum order quantity.
