The implementation of the mixed order pricing strategy guarantees the same agility of the SMEs in a supply chain cluster and improve the production initiative of manufacturers. Our conclusions reflect longer production plan can be scheduled; the continuity and stability of production can be improved; and the risk of supply interruption of distributors can be reduced. In general, SMEs agile ordering mechanism in the supply chain cluster has been improved under mixed order pricing strategy.
