The New Mathematical Models for Inventory Management under Uncertain Market
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the new mathematical model for determining the optimal ordering policy for industrial and commercial companies. In the previous research, the numerous inventory models under inflationary conditions have been developed. In these models, the demand rate, usually, has been considered constant and well known, time-varying, stock dependent or price-dependent. But, the demand rate, usually, is uncertain in the real world. Therefore, in this study, the new inflationary inventory models under stochastic demand conditions have been developed. The inventory system is in the state of multi-items with budget constraint. The numerical examples have also been given to illustrate and validate the theoretical results.

Applying queuing theory for a reliable integrated location –inventory problem under facility disruption risks
This study considers a reliable location – inventory problem for a supply chain system comprising one supplier, multiple distribution centers (DCs), and multiple retailers in which we determine DCs location, inventory replenishment decisions and assignment retailers to DCs, simultaneously. Each DC is managed through a continuous review (S, Q) inventory policy. For tackling real world conditions...
متن کاملA modified NSGA-II solution for a new multi-objective hub maximal covering problem under uncertain shipments
Hubs are centers for collection, rearrangement, and redistribution of commodities in transportation networks. In this paper, non-linear multi-objective formulations for single and multiple allocation hub maximal covering problems as well as the linearized versions are proposed. The formulations substantially mitigate complexity of the existing models due to the fewer number of constraints and v...

The purpose of this article is to model and solve an integrated location, routing and inventory problem (LRIP) in cash-in-transit (CIT) sector. In real operation of cash transportation, to decrease total cost and to reduce risk of robbery of such high-value commodity. There must be substantial variation, making problem difficult to formulate. In this paper, to better fit real life applications ...
متن کاملA Vehicle Routing Problem with Inventory in a Hybrid Uncertain Environment
Manufacturers, who re-supply a large number of customers, continually struggle with the question of how to formulate a replenishment strategy. The purpose of this paper is to determine the optimal set of routes for a group of vehicles in the transportation network under defined constraints – which is known as the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) – delivering new items, and resolving the invent...
متن کاملAn optimization model for management of empty containers in distribution network of a logistics company under uncertainty
In transportation via containers, unbalanced movement of loaded containers forces shipping companies to reposition empty containers. This study addresses the problem of empty container repositioning (ECR) in the distribution network of a European logistics company, where some restrictions impose decision making in an uncertain environment. The problem involves dispatching empty contain...
