Abstract: This paper studies a one-supplier-n-buyer system selling one type of product with multi-period and probabilistic customer demand.We give two strategies of supply chain coordination: quantity coordination and time coordination.Making a detailed analysis,we show that compared to the traditional decentralized system,quantity coordination policy can improve the performance of the supply chian considerably.Furthermore,time coordination can realize a better performance based on the above improvement.The implementing method of two coordinating mechanisms is given.Finally we present a numerical example.

Key words: supply chain management, quantity coordination, time coordination
