The impact of this lagged demand information is quantified by using a serially linked two-level supply chain. It is assumed that each player exploits the order-up-to ordering policy. As the market demand model, a first-order autoregressive (AR(1)) process is assumed. The lead-time and the lag time are constant over time. The lagged market information and other necessary information are shared with the second-level player. The total inventory cost and the production cost of the supply chain are considered to evaluate the impact of the information lag and forecasting methods.} }
