We analyze a supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer under consignment sales with a revenue … demand curve is revealed. The retailer deducts a fraction from the selling price for each unit sold and remits the balance to … as postponement. We find that, when market demand admits a multiplicative structure, the revenue share and allocation of …

The subject of this paper is the problem of finding the optimal replenishment schedule for an inventory, subject to … time-dependent demand and deterioration, within a finite time planning horizon. It is shown that taking inflation into …

In this paper, we present a simulation optimization algorithm for solving the two-echelon constrained inventory problem …. The goal is to determine the optimal setting of stocking levels to minimize the total inventory investment costs while … optimization algorithms, and can be applied to any multi-item multi-echelon inventory system, where the cost structure and service …

Consider the inventory placement problem in an N-stage supply system facing a stochastic demand for a single planning … period. Each stage is a stocking point holding some form of inventory (e.g., raw materials, subassemblies, product returns or … finished products) that after a suitable transformation can satisfy demand. Stocking decisions are made before demand occurs …

This paper studies the inventory system of a retailer who orders his products from two supply sources, a local one that … global source only partially satisfy the quality requirements. We model this situation with a dual-sourcing inventory model … inventory model with an unreliable supplier by a sequence of dual-sourcing models with reliable suppliers and suitably modified …
