In today’s highly competitive business environment, which is known by characteristics of low profitability, high customer expectations for high-quality products and minimum waiting time, make companies efforts to transform constraints into opportunities for gaining competitive advantage by optimizing their business processes. In such a situation, appropriate supplier selection can play a key role in the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization and have a direct impact on reducing costs, profitability, and flexibility of a company. The purpose of this research is to provide a supplier selection model with simultaneous consideration of two sources of inventory control and pricing in the supply chain. To assess the validity and reliability of the model, the actual data of the Seven Diamond Industries Company including input materials (Hot Roll) and products (galvanized sheets) have been used. The proposed model is coded in the GAMS software and its results have been analyzed.

This paper considers multi-period serial production systems with Periodic order quantity (POQ) policy, lead-time uncertainties and demand dependent on the price. It is assumed that actual lead-time for each stage is probabilistic with known distribution and ordering system is multi-period. During the production at each stage, the items may be produced in a longer time than it was scheduled, causing a delay in production at this stage and this may result in backorders of the finished product. It is assumed in this case that a fixed percentage of the shortage is backlogged and other sales are lost. The objective of this paper is to find the pricing of the unit product, planned lead-time and periodicity with quantity (POQ) policy in order to maximize the total system profit.
