Abstract

In this paper, we study inventory pooling coalitions within a decentralized distribution system consisting of a manufacturer, a warehouse (or an integration center), and n retailers. At the time their orders are placed, the retailers know their demand distribution but do not know the exact value of the demand. After certain production and transportation lead time elapses, the orders arrive at the warehouse. During this time, the retailers can update their demand forecasts.
