Abstract
The following section will introduce a practical cooperative problem occurring in supply chain situations: Cooperation in placing orders. This is not only interesting for private companies but also for public bodies who already join cooperative procurement programs to form a purchasing alliance and to benefit from economies of scale (see Sect. 4.1).
