Abstract

We set stackelberg-game model and centralized model of full postponement strategy in a two-stage supply chain made up of one manufacture and one distributor in the first place, and then we study the impact of decision variables, i.e. customization service price and promised customization time of distributor, final customized product price and promised delivery time of manufacture on the profit of manufacture, distributor and supply chain.
