Abstract

This paper focuses on designing a coordinated model for a two-tier influenza vaccine supply chain system consisting of a manufacturer and a disease control center, considering uncertain supply and demand conditions to maximize influenza vaccine coverage. The design of the model considers three dimensions: order frequency (one-time and two-time), contract types (wholesale price contracts and option contracts), and decision-making modes (centralized and decentralized). The study begins with decentralized and centralized decision-making under a one-time ordering approach using wholesale price contracts, obtaining corresponding comparative parameters. It then proposes a coordinated approach using a combination of wholesale price contracts and option contracts under a two-time ordering approach, finding that under this approach, the manufacturer's optimal production input, the center for disease control and prevention (CDC)'s optimal order quantity, influenza vaccine coverage, and the profits of each member of the supply chain are all greater than those under the one-time ordering approach. Numerical analysis shows that: (1) combination contracts with adjustable option prices are beneficial for the reasonable distribution of profits among supply chain members, and (2) the impact of external demand and supply fluctuations on the two-time ordering approach is smaller than that on the one-time ordering approach. This paper demonstrates that the designed combination contract model under the two-time ordering approach can effectively coordinate the influenza vaccine supply chain system.
