The models developed here are general treatments that deal  with four major issues: (a) one buyer or multiple buyers, (b) constant  or price-elastic demand, (c) the relationship between the supplier&#8217;s  production schedule or ordering policy and the buyers&#8217; ordering sizes,  and (d) the supplier either purchasing or manufacturing the item. The  models are developed with two objectives: the supplier&#8217;s profit  improvement or the supplier&#8217;s increased profit share analysis.  Algorithms are developed to find optimal decision policies. Our analysis  provides the supplier with both the optimal all-unit quantity discount  policy and the optimal production (or ordering) strategy.
