Abstract :
To solve the problem of pricing to various consumers, we analyze the environment of Eastern Route market with multi-resources and multi-users, design both combined and decentralized pricing models based on supply chain theory. Through comparison, we find that the fitness of the two models depends on the purchasing cost by retail to the agriculture users. Based on OA (operation research) and Eastern Route example, we also expand the model with constraints of floating and progressive price and analyze its validity by simulation.
