Joint pricing and inventory control with a Markovian demand model
We consider the joint pricing and inventory control problem for a single product with a finite horizon and periodic review. The demand distribution in each period is determined by an exogenous Markov chain. Pricing and ordering decisions are made at the beginning of each period and all shortages are backlogged. The surplus costs as well as fixed and variable costs are state dependent. We show t...
متن کاملJoint pricing, inventory, and preservation decisions for deteriorating items with stochastic demand and promotional efforts
This study models a joint pricing, inventory, and preservation decision-making problem for deteriorating items subject to stochastic demand and promotional effort. The generalized price-dependent stochastic demand, time proportional deterioration, and partial backlogging rates are used to model the inventory system. The objective is to find the optimal pricing, replenishment, and preservation t...
متن کاملNonparametric Algorithms for Joint Pricing and Inventory Control with Lost-Sales and Censored Demand
We consider the classical joint pricing and inventory control problem with lost-sales and censored demand in which the customer’s response to selling price and the demand distribution are not known a priori, and the only available information for decision-making is the past sales data. Conventional approaches, such as stochastic approximation, online convex optimization, and continuum-armed ban...
متن کاملJoint Pricing and Inventory Control for Seasonal and Substitutable Goods Mentioning the Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Substitution
Nowadays many well-known firms may produce similar products at different prices in order to remain in the competitive environment. The price differences may cause substitution condition which motivates the customers to substitute the similar cheaper product with an expensive one leading to an environment which is known as “customer-based price driven substitution”. This research proposes a new ...
متن کاملValue of Demand Observability for Inventory Control with Markovian Demand and Lost Sales
We present a partially observed Markov decision process model of a single product supply chain system with lost sales, in which a single decision maker selects a replenishment quantity at each decision epoch. Demand is modeled using an exogenous Markov chain, such that the distribution of demand in a period is dependent on the demand level in the prior period. The objective is to maximize expec...
