nonobservation of demand, spoilage, misplacement, or theft of inventory. We study a partially observed inventory system where the … demand is not observed, inventory level is noticed when it reaches zero, the unmet demand is lost, and replenishment orders …

non-observation of demand, spoilage, misplacement, or theft of inventory. We study a periodic review inventory system … where the unmet demand is backordered. When inventory level is nonnegative, the inventory manager does not know the exact …

We study a firm's optimal transshipment problem considering the impacts of setup costs for transshipment and demand … distribution shapes. We assume that the demand follows a three-point distribution, which changes from a degenerate distribution, to … a unimodal distribution, and to a bimodal distribution as the demand shape parameter increases. We find that as the …

We analyze a price-setting news-vendor problem with an additive – multiplicative demand. We show that the uni …-modality of the news-vendor profit function holds when the underlying random term has an increasing failure rate and the demand …

is affected by the symmetric and asymmetric properties of the demand distribution. Finally, based on the Pareto …

exhibits zero patience for waiting if the demand is not satisfied immediately (a lost sale), while the demand of high …

We study a joint implementation of price- and availability-based product substitution to better match demand and … where the firm first sets prices and replenishment levels for each product while the demand is still uncertain, and after … observing the demand, decides how many (if any) of the customers to upgrade to a higher quality product. We characterize the …
