This paper aims to design an inventory model for a retail enterprise with a profit maximization objective using the opportunity for a price discount facility given by a supplier. In the profit maximization objective, the demand should be increased. T...
Abstract: Inventory supply chain planning involves determining the quantity of products to be transported among entities within a specified planning horizon. Often, inventory levels are reviewed at set intervals: (1) Background: In this paper, period...
This study uses Stackelberg game theory, considering different combinations of carbon emission reduction policies and that high-carbon-emission enterprises may face various carbon emission reduction regulations, to explore the production inventory pr...
This paper investigates a dual-channel retailer’s inventory and pricing integrated decision-making problem over multiple periods. The quantity-sales mode is adopted in the online channel while the unit-sales mode is used offline. The customer d...
This paper aims to propose a comprehensive inventory model including pricing, pre-sale incentives, advance sales, trade credit, and carbon tax policies. The novelty of this study lies in its holistic approach to addressing these relevant and practica...
Drug inventory management is an important part of hospital management. The large amounts of drug data in hospitals bring challenges to optimizing the setting values for the safety stock and the maximum inventory of each drug. This study combined a tw...
A common practice in inventory systems with several customers requiring differentiated service levels is to group them into two or three classes, where a customer class is a group of customers with the same preset service level in terms of product av...
Along with growing interest in environmental concerns these days, significant academic efforts have been exerted to incorporate sustainability issues into the existing inventory models except for fixed-review interval (i.e., order-up-to models). In t...
In this study, we investigate inventory allocation and pricing strategies for retailers by incorporating demand information into the issue of inventory allocation during the presale period. In a presale system, retailers offer presale goods at a pric...
Reducing carbon emissions is of immense interest to most modern organizations striving for sustainability. Effective inventory management is crucial for achieving resource optimization and minimizing environmental impact. Very little work has been co...
We introduce I-fp convergence (ideal convergence in fuzzy paranormed spaces) and develop its core theory, including stability results and an equivalence to I*-fp convergence under the AP Property. Building on this foundation, we design an adaptive ba...
