The research studies on types of products and purchase investigation into inventory management of supply chain. We choose cases from domestic manufacturing industry and retail industry to investigate their inventory management models. The types of products separate functional products and innovative products; purchasing orientations divides into buying and procurement orientation. Two construct...

in this model, we establish an inventory model to determine the optimal inventory replenishment scheme for the economic production quantity (epq) model for imperfect, deteriorating items with sales return service under multiple production and rework setup. in one cycle, production process can produces the products in m production setups and reworks the defective items in one rework setup. the c...

This paper formulates a stochastic inventory model for a single-period seasonal or fashion product inventory system consisting of multiple stocking echelons in series and retailers. By transforming model, an equivalent two-stage stochastic linear program model is developed to solve this stochastic inventory problem, which makes the inventory problem easier to analyze. The optimal placement poli...
