Introduction to report content:

Due to unexpected events such as natural disasters, trade frictions, and military conflicts, manufacturers' production capacity may be disrupted. In a two cycle model, we investigate the impact of supply interruption risk in the second cycle on supply chain inventory decisions and manufacturer commitment strategies. We consider three commitment strategies: no commitment, price commitment, and inventory commitment. We have found that the risk of supply interruption brings about very different supply chain inventory decisions. Manufacturers always prefer inventory commitment, but the prerequisite for successful implementation of inventory commitment strategies is supply chain transparency; If inventory commitments are not feasible, manufacturers can also use price commitments to increase expected profits under certain conditions.
