Abstract:
In this thesis a two-tier supply chain containing an upstream supplier and a downstream producer have been modeled. This model presents a replicator interaction in supply chain. In this model supplier has to choose between two different production strategies which provide two types of output-quality. It is obvious the method with better output-quality has more production cost and the one with lower output-quality has lower production cost. The strategy of producer is to choose whether test the production before process it in production line or not. By the tool of evolutionary game theory trends of changing in players' strategies have been modeled and Nash equilibrium points and the types of their stabilities have been analyzed. At last, two numerical examples is presented and the results of them have been simulated
