Constrained Inventory Allocation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper shows how to allocate a limited supply of inventory in a centralized distribution system with multiple retailers subject to minimal supply commitments and maximum delivery limits for each retailer. The objective is to maximize the number of units sold by all retailers in one time period. The analysis is done by building on a classical result of Derman. The demand at each retailer is described by a probability density function and unsold portions of the supply lose their value at the end of the period. Key–Words: Inventory Control, Nonlinear Optimization

Constrained Non-Renewable Resource Allocation in Metagraphs with Discrete Random Times
In this paper, it is supposed that a project can be shown as a metagraph. The duration of activities are discrete random variables with known probability function, also one kind of consumable and constrained resource is required to execute each activity of the project.The objective of this paper is to maximize the probability of completion of stochastic metagraph before the due date of the proj...

Many real projects complete through the realization of one and only one path of various possible network paths. Here, these networks are called alternative stochastic networks (ASNs). It is supposed that the nodes of considered network are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. First, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of t...
متن کاملChance Constrained Optimization for Targeted Internet Advertising
We introduce a chance constrained optimization model for the fulfillment of guaranteed display Internet advertising campaigns. The proposed formulation for the allocation of display inventory takes into account the uncertainty of the supply of Internet viewers. We discuss and present theoretical and computational features of the model via Monte Carlo sampling and convex approximations. Theoreti...

Revenue Management is an economic policy that increases the earned profit by adjusting the service demand and inventory. Revenue Management in airlines correlates with inventory control and price levels in different fare classes. We focus on pricing and seat allocation problems in airlines by introducing a constrained optimization problem in Binary Integer Programming (BIP) formulation. Two BIP...
