Abstract: Abstract In recent years, a large number of papers have been produced that propose and analyze mechanisms for supply chain coordination. The number of existing surveys about the literature of this area is considerable, too.1 These surveys, however, are not exhaustive; surprisingly few emphasis has been placed on a central topic for the design of coordination mechanisms, the determination of appropriate incentives for decentralized parties in light of information asymmetry.2 In this chapter, we provide a literature review, which comprises new classifications as well as explanations of central ideas behind different types of mechanisms. We focus on mechanisms that are directly applicable or transferable to the coordination of Master Planning. In addition, we include approaches that address operational planning (e.g., scheduling) and provide interesting, novel ideas for the design of coordination mechanisms, but exclude those dealing with strategic planning tasks.3
