Abstract

Purpose

–

The purpose of this paper is to look at how, in order to fit the practical environment, the scopes of the order‐quantity of a quantity discount contract are enlarged.

Design/methodology/approach

–

The contract feasible set (CFS) is discussed to extend the order quantity from a single point to an interval.

Findings

–

The application of the CFS can enlarge the scope of the contracts of the supply chain. The CFS can be used in the practice.

Research limitations/implications

–

The CFS of the quantity‐discount contract only is discussed. The other contracts do not be involved.
