On the Supply Chain Coordination with Trade Credit and Partial Backorder under CVaR Criterion

For the secondary supply chain composed of a supplier with sufficient funds and a retailer with limited funds and risk aversion, to enhance the supply chain stability and comprehensively improve benefits, the supply chain members may choose to implement a supply chain’s coordination strategy. Thus, we study the following supply chain coordination problems, i.e., the supplier provides a trade credit policy and signs a buyback contract for the surplus products with the retailer. For this, based on maximizing the benefits of supply chain members, the supply chain coordination model has been established. By analyzing two participants’ benefit, the supply chain’s optimum coordination mechanism is obtained. The theoretical results are verified by numerical experiments.
