A Three-Phased Perishable Inventory Simulation Model with Quality Decrease Consideration

Perishable Inventory System with a Finite Population and Repeated Attempts

Limit Distribution of Inventory Level of Perishable Inventory Model

This paper studies a perishable inventory model, which assumes that each perishable item has finite lifetime, and only one item is consumed each time. The lifetimes of perishable items are independent random variables with the general distribution and so are the consumption internal. Under this assumption, by using backward equations and limit distribution of Markov skeleton processes, this pap...

An Inventory Model Perishable Products with Markovian Renewal Demands

In the inventory model, people usually assume that the inter-demand times are independent and identically distributed, but that may not be true in reality. This limitation motivated us to seek greater understanding of an important class of inventory models with dependent demand. In this paper we analyze an ( ) S s, continuous review perishable inventory system with a Markovian renewal demand pr...

Managing Perishable Inventory

This article discusses inventory management of perishable items, including the differences between inventory models that consider items’ perishability and the standard models that ignore this issue. We hope that this article will help fostering the interest of students and researchers in inventory control of perishable items, and ultimately help improving the inventory control of perishable ite...

Essays on Perishable Inventory Management

My dissertation addresses a number of challenges in perishable inventory management in supply chains, providing both theoretical results and managerial insights. Essay 1: In this essay, we review the literature on supply chain management of perishable products that have a fixed or random lifetime, primarily focusing on challenges introduced by aging of such products. We start with a review of t...
