Abstract：Targeting at profit distribution , with stockout cost considered , supply chain parameters are ana-lyzed based on the comparison of inventory cost modes before and after vendor-managed inventory ( VMI) . It is found that the responsibilities and benefits between suppliers and retailers are inconsistent .Then, Stackelberg model , revenue-sharing contracts , and price contracts are applied to establish a profit distribu-tion model.With this model, purchasing price of a retailer and revenue-sharing coefficient are decided .A numerical example is used to validate the proposed model .
