Abstract: For the centralization of management,reduction in cost,and reinforcement of the competitive advantage,the supplier usually concentrates on production and utsources the transportation of products to a Distribution Center. The Distribution Center decides the modes and the time to transport according to the demand of the retailer. Hence the supplier, Distribution Center and the retailer form a two-echelon supply chain system. This paper considers the economic lot-size problem of the two-echelon supply chain in which the transportation modes are characterized by different all-unit quantity discount cost structures. Several optimality properties are proposed for this problem, and a polynomial time algorithm is developed for a special case.
