Stability contract for tactical planning in a supply chain : new lot sizing models

Our focus is the supply relationship between a retailer and its suppliers. In fact, we defined stability contracts between these actors and study their impacts. At a tactical level, it is equivalent to solve a lot sizing problem under specific constraints, which are defined by the contract features. We showed that several variants of the lot sizing problem can be optimally solved in polynomial time. We studied the stability contract by performing numerous experiments. Then we tried to adapt the stability contract to a real case study : the canadian pulp and paper industry .
