Spanish Abstract: Hoy en día la innovación dentro de las empresas se ha convertido en un reto estratégico que afrontan las empresas, ya que a medida que la presión competitiva aumenta y el mercado se vuelve más exigente, las empresas deben de ajustar continuamente sus procesos internos de...

We consider optimal consumption and portfolio investment problems of an investor who is interested in maximizing his utilities from consumption and terminal wealth subject to a random inflation in the consumption basket price over time. We consider two cases: (i) when the investor observes the...

We study infinite-horizon stochastic inventory problems with general demand distributions and piecewise linear concave ordering costs. Such costs arise in the important cases of quantity discounts or multiple suppliers. We consider the case of concave cost involving two linear segments. This...

Managing customer satisfaction in a cost effective way has always been a major challenge faced by inventory managers. We study the problem of a newsvendor selling a perishable product with short-term demand patterns and a long-term service target. The newsvendor determines his long-term order at...

This article analyzes a discrete time lost sales inventory system with partially observed demand and unobserved shrinkages which happen both before and after the demand realization. When the demand exceeds the remaining inventory, the unmet demand is lost and unobserved. This problem in general...

We prove that an (s, S)policy is optimal in a continuous-review stochastic inventory model with a fixed ordering cost when the demand is a mixture of (i) a diffusion process and a compound Poisson process with exponentially distributed jump sizes, and (ii) a constant demand and a compound...

We deal with the problem of a profit-maximizing vendor selling a perishable product. At the beginningof a planning cycle, the vendor determines a minimum committed order per period. During the cycle, he may also place a supplemental order in each period based on the observed demand signal in...
