The proposed model will enhance the company’s performance by analyzing the cost, inventory and order levels
which can reduce the wastage. It has also been observed that in Decentralized information lost sales at retailer
are 20 units and it has been reduced to 18 units in centralized information. The inventory levels for the
distributor have been decreased from 53 units to 51units due to the Centralized sharing strategy Order at output
buffer goes down from 100 to 74 in case using the centralized information system Inventory at input buffer has
been shown going down from 72 to 70 which can improve the cost entities in the proposed supply chain Order at
