Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, multitiered supply chain network equilibrium models are constructed that include labor associated with supply chain network link activities. The supply chain consists of multiple competing manufacturers, multiple competing retailers, plus consumers located at demand markets. Bounds on labor availability are included along with labor productivity factors. The formulation, analysis, and solution of the multitiered supply chain network equilibrium models make use of variational inequality theory. The multitiered supply chain network framework allows for the quantification of various disruptions on the equilibrium product flows, the product prices at the various tiers of the supply chain network, as well as the shadow prices (Lagrange multipliers) associated with the labor constraints. Numerical examples, for which complete input and output data are reported, illustrate the types of insights that can be gained.
