The retailer multi-item inventory problem with demand cannibalization and substitution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Retailers of products with limited shelf life are faced with the dilemma of stocking the right mix of standard product and its customized stock keeping units, in each product category. In this paper we model the retailer multi-item inventory problem with demand cannibalization and substitution. The model focuses on the twin problems of optimal portfolio selection as well as optimal stocking under retailing context. Owing to analytical complexity in determining optimal solution, we develop heuristics for solving the problem. Using set of numerical examples we compare the heuristic solutions against the optimal solutions. In addition, we also attempt to understand the impact of important parameters on retailer profits through a series of sensitivity analysis. r 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Two-level supply chain for a deteriorating item with stock and promotional cost dependent demand under shortages
In this research work, a wholesaler-retailer-customer supply chain model for a deteriorating item is considered, where the retailer's warehouse in the market place has a limited capacity. The retailer can rent an additional warehouse (rented warehouse) if needed, with a higher rent compared to the existing warehouse (own warehouse). The customers' demand of the item is linearly influenced by th...
متن کاملMulti-item inventory model with probabilistic demand function under permissible delay in payment and fuzzy-stochastic budget constraint: A signomial geometric programming method
This study proposes a new multi-item inventory model with hybrid cost parameters under a fuzzy-stochastic constraint and permissible delay in payment. The price and marketing expenditure dependent stochastic demand and the demand dependent the unit production cost are considered. Shortages are allowed and partially backordered. The main objective of this paper is to determine selling price, mar...
متن کاملOptimal ordering quantities for substitutable deteriorating items under joint replenishment with cost of substitution
In this paper we develop an inventory model, to determine the optimal ordering quantities, for a set of two substitutable deteriorating items. In this inventory model the inventory level of both items depleted due to demands and deterioration and when an item is out of stock, its demands are partially fulfilled by the other item and all unsatisfied demand is lost. Each substituted item incurs a...
متن کاملShipping Multiple Items by Capacitated Vehicles: An Optimal Dynamic Programming Approach
We consider a system in which multiple-items are transferred from a warehouse or a plant to a retailer through identical capacitated vehicles, or freight wagons. Any mixture of the items may be loaded on a vehicle. The retailer is facing dynamic deterministic demand for several items, over a finite planning horizon. A vehicle incurs a fixed cost for each trip made from the warehouse to the reta...
متن کاملA parameter-tuned genetic algorithm for vendor managed inventory model for a case single-vendor single-retailer with multi-product and multi-constraint
This paper develops a single-vendor single-retailer supply chain for multi-product. The proposed model is based on Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) approach and vendor uses the retailer's data for better decision making. Number of orders and available capital are the constraints of the model. In this system, shortages are backordered; therefore, the vendor’s warehouse capacity is another limitati...
