Optimally configuring a two-stage serial line supply chain under the guaranteed service model

Abstract

Design-and-development buyers sourcing new supply chains and strategic sourcing analysts making outsourcing decisions for existing supply chains are in different organizations but share a common problem. Both determine whether an existing part should be replaced. Relative to the existing part, new candidates could be cheaper with longer leadtime, or more expensive with shorter leadtime. Furthermore, a longer leadtime part could be buffered with inventory and this could be cheaper than paying more for a shorter leadtime part.
