Research Abstract

We consider a situation where the most up-to-date information on the market demand and the inventory levels is not available to a replenishment decision maker in a supply chain. We propose an alternative strategy that does not require new information systems. The benefit coming from this strategy is quantified. Then, the impact of the information delay is quantified in a serially linked two-level supply chain. We conclude that the second level does not have a strong incentive to reduce the time delays in the shared market demand information.
