  3. Abstract:
  4. In this paper we consider a dyadic supply chain consisting of one warehouse and one retailer with an unequal order batch size and information exchange. Transportation times are constant and retailer faces independent Poisson demand. The retailer applies continuous review (R,Q)-policy. The supplier starts with m initial batches (of size Q), and places an order in a batch of size nQ to an outside source immediately after the retailer's inventory position reaches R+s. In this paper using the idea of the onefor- one ordering policy we obtain the exact value of the expected system costs
