Abstract: Reducing food waste in supply chains (SCs) with multiple decision-makers is challenging. A common approach grocery retailers use to reduce waste is requiring manufacturers to only send products with a long remaining shelf life (“minimum life on receipt”-MLOR). However, its impact on manufacturers remains unclear.
