Abstract

The main assumption underlying most supply chain models is the assumption of a fully rational expected profit maximizing decision maker. This might be correct assuming computerized decisions. But in reality most decisions are made by human decision makers and humans’ decisions are not always rational. This paper discusses recent behavioral operations literature describing different decision biases observed in laboratory experiments. Then, we analyze how human decision makers behave under three different supply contracts. Based on these observations we show how to take human behavior into account to improve supply chain performance.
