The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Buyer vendor coordination models in supply chain management (2006, background): “Misra (2004) has extended the above model of Viswanathan and Piplani (2001) by considering selective discount policy.”
A one-vendor multi-buyer integrated production-inventory model: The 'Consignment Stock' case (2009, background): “Viswanathan and Piplani (2001) proposed a model to study and analyse the benefit of coordinating supply chain inventories by means of common replenishment epochs or time periods.”
Coordinating orders in supply chains through price discounts (2002, background): “While page 15 the assumption of complete information has been made by various other researchers (e.g., Viswanathan and Piplani, 2001; Chen et al,2001), it is possible that the manufacturer may not have access to such information.”
Coordination mechanisms of supply chain systems (2007, background): “In the meantime, Viswanathan and Piplani (2001) considered a simplified scenario whereby the supplier specifies common replenishment periods and requires all buyers to order only at those time periods.”
