Inventory control with product returns: The impact of imperfect information
Product returns are characterized by considerable uncertainty on time and quantity. In the literature on inventory management for product return environments best forecasts of future returns are associated with methods that use the most information regarding product return history. In practice, however, data is often scarce and unreliable, while forecasts based on historical data, reliable or n...
متن کاملInventory Control with product returns: the impact of (mis)information
Product returns are often characterized by a dual uncertainty on time and quantity. In the literature on inventory management with product returns, best forecasts have been associated with methods that use the most information regarding product return history. In practice however, data is often scarce and unreliable. In this paper we investigate the impact of (mis)information on inventory perfo...
متن کاملa multi-product inventory control model with imperfect production process and rework under delayed payment policy
the traditional economic production quantity (epq) model assumes that during the production process no imperfect item is produced. but in the real production system, due to imperfect production process or other factors, imperfect quality items may be produced. furthermore, it is well-known that the total production-inventory costs can be reduced by reworking the imperfect quality items produced...
متن کاملA two - stage production / inventory system with admission control of product returns ⋆
We consider a two-stage production-inventory system. Each stage is made of an exponential production server and an output inventory. The downstream inventory faces a Poisson demand and each inventory receives product returns that can be either accepted or rejected. The objective is to find a production/admission policy minimizing the expected discounted costs over an infinite horizon. We consid...
متن کاملOptimal control of a production-inventory system with product returns and two disposal options
We consider a production-inventory system facing stochastic product returns that can either be disposed upon arrival or placed in a serviceable inventory, where serviceable products can be disposed at any time. In an M/M/1 make-tostock queue setting, we establish that the optimal control policy is a threshold policy with three policy parameters and we derive closed-form results for the optimal ...
