PAGE 8 Modelling and analysis of inventory replenishment for perishable agricultural products with buyer–seller collaboration In this article, we study the inventory replenishment model for perishable agricultural products in a simple two-level supply chain. Collaborative forecasting is introduced into the inventory replenishment decisions to avoid overstocking and understocking of agricultural products, and to maximise profits. We analyse the model with ordering cost, holding cost, shortage cost, deterioration cost and opportunity lost cost of perishable agricultural products. Extensive numerical analysis is carried out to study the performance of the inventory policy. The optimal replenishment policy that minimises the total cost can be obtained from the model. It has demonstrated that the supply chain cost decreases with supplier and retailer’s collaborative forecasting. Keywords: perishable; agricultural; products; inventory; replenishment; collaborative; forecasting The perishable agricultural products industry has been under pressure regarding the improvement of food safety,the implementation of efficient risk management and rapid response capabilities, and the management of quality ‘from farm to fork’. Since regulation 178/2002 of the European Parliament, and of the Council, on general food law came into force in 2005,traceability has become an essential business function for the food industry to consistently supply perishable agricultural products with quality and safety assurance. Perishable agricultural products traceability is defined as the ability to trace and follow perishable agricultural products through all stages of production, processing and distribution (European Commission 2002).Perishable agricultural products products are often tracked and traced by manufacturing batches or logistic units,instead of individual product items (Jansen-Crullers et al. 2003).
