Abstract

Service level agreements (SLA) are often observed in practice to manage suppliers’ performance. Under an SLA, a supplier agrees to meet a
pre-specified service level over a review period. We consider one common application of SLAs to inventory management in decentralized supply chains from a principal-agent perspective. We examine some fundamental issues of SLA design.
