This paper addresses the effect of probabilistic selling on inventory decisions and the expected profit through demand reshaping and demand substitution. By considering a scenario with two higher-priced specific products and one lower-priced probabilistic product, we construct a new newsboy-type inventory model with demand reshaping and substitution. A simulation study is implemented to explore...

In hub-and-spoke systems, due to the changes in input parameters affecting system over time, transportation providers should make right and timely decisions about hub facilities. For this reason, multi-period location problems are especially important. This paper presents a comprehensive review of from 1990 up most recent published studies. First, we study developed models based on some charact...

Cooperative advertising is a cost-sharing mechanism in which a part of retailers' advertising investments are financed by the manufacturers. In recent years, investment among advertising options has become a difficult marketing issue. In this paper, the cooperative advertising problem with advertising options is investigated in a two-period horizon in which the market share in the second period...

In this paper, a new multi-objective integer non-linear programming model is developed for designing citrus three-echelon supply chain network. Short harvest period, product specifications, high perished rate, and special storing and distributing conditions make the modeling of citrus supply chain more complicated than other ones. The proposed model aims to minimize network costs includin...
