Abstract: Considering a dual-channel supply chain involving one capital constrained manufacturer and one independent retailer under stochastic demands, the issue of dual-channel supply chain coordination with prepayment financing including the price discount factor was investigated. Under the condition that the manufacturer is the Stackelberg leader, the inventory coordination problem between the manufacturer and the retailer was studied, and a revenue-sharing contract model was established for the dual-channel supply chain coordination. Furthermore, the calculation formulas of contract parameters were given, and the effects of price discount and initial capital on the supply chain and its members were analyzed. Finally, a numerical example verified the effectiveness of the dual-channel supply chain coordination and the effects of the other relevant parameters.

Key words: prepayment financing, stochastic demand, dual-channel supply chain, coordination, revenue-sharing contract
