Newsvendor Bounds and Heuristics for Optimal Policy of Serial Supply Chains with and without Expedited Shippings∗
We consider N-stage serial production/distribution systems with stationary demand at the most downstream stage. First, we study classical Clark-Scarf model with both average cost and discounted cost criteria. The optimal echelon base-stock levels are obtained in terms of only probabilistic distributions of leadtime demand. This analysis yields a novel approach for developing bounds and simple h...
متن کاملBounds, Heuristics, and Approximations for Distribution Systems
This paper develops simple approximate methods to analyze a two-stage stochastic distribution system consisting of one warehouse and multiple retailers. We consider local and central control schemes. The main ideas are based on relaxing and or decomposing the system into more manageable newsvendor type subsystems. We provide bounds on optimal echelon base-stock levels and on the optimal expecte...
متن کاملBounds and Heuristics for Optimal Bayesian Inventory Control with Unobserved Lost Sales
In most retail environments, when inventory runs out, the unmet demand is lost and not observed. The sales data are effectively censored by the inventory level. Factoring this censored data effect into demand estimation and inventory control decision makes the problem difficult to solve. In this paper, we focus on developing bounds and heuristics for this problem. Specifically, we consider a fi...
متن کاملCatastrophe Insurance and Optimal Investment
In the insurance market, the insurers who provide catastrophe insurance face with the risk of rare, but huge catastrophe claims. The introduction of catastrophe related securities into the marketplace provide the insurers the instruments to hedge some of the catastrophe risks they are facing. A catastrophe related security is tied to the prespecified catastrophe claims, while independent to oth...
متن کاملInvestment and Defense Strategies, Heuristics, and Games: From the Editor
I our first article, Joseph B. Kadane discusses “Partial-Kelly Strategies and Expected Utility: Small-Edge Asymptotics.” The next article is by Konstantinos V. Katsikopoulos, on “Psychological Heuristics for Making Inferences: Definition, Performance, and the Emerging Theory and Practice.” We then move to papers analyzing strategic national defense. In our third article, David J. Caswell, Ronal...
