N2 - The purpose of this paper is to evaluate an option contract within a semiconductor supply chain consisting of one semiconductor manufacturer and one customer. In an option contract the customer pays an upfront fee (option price) for an option to purchase product. A simulation model is used to compare the performance of an option contract against a standard supply contract used in a semiconductor supply chain in terms of delivery performance and costs for the supply chain partners.
