Partially Observed Inventory Systems: The Case of Zero-Balance Walk
In many inventory control contexts, inventory levels are only partially (i.e., not fully) observed. This may be due to non-observation 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 must be decided so as t...
متن کاملPartially Observed Inventory Systems: The Case of Rain Checks
In many inventory control contexts, inventory levels are only partially (i.e., not fully) observed. This may be due to non-observation of demand, spoilage, misplacement, or theft of inventory. We study a discrete-time periodic-review inventory system where the unmet demand is backordered. When inventory level is nonnegative, the inventory manager does not know the exact inventory level. Otherwi...
متن کاملOn optimal control of a class of partially observed discrete event systems
We are interested in a new class of optimal control problems for discrete event systems. We adopt the formalism of supervisory control theory (Proc. IEEE 77(1) (1989) 81) and model the system as a 4nite state machine (FSM). Our control problem is characterized by the presence of uncontrollable as well as unobservable events, the notion of occurrence and control costs for events and a worst-case...
متن کاملInventory management with partially observed nonstationary demand
We consider a continuous-time model for inventory management with Markov modulated non-stationary demands. We introduce active learning by assuming that the state of the world is unobserved and must be inferred by the manager. We also assume that demands are observed only when they are completely met. We first derive the explicit filtering equations and pass to an equivalent fully observed impu...
متن کاملMinimax LQG Control of Stochastic Partially Observed Uncertain Systems
We consider an infinite-horizon linear-quadratic minimax optimal control problem for stochastic uncertain systems with output measurement. A new description of stochastic uncertainty is introduced using a relative entropy constraint. For the stochastic uncertain system under consideration, a connection between the worst-case control design problem and a specially parametrized risk-sensitive sto...
