T multi-period single-sourcing problem that we address in this paper can be used as a tool for evaluating logistics network designs in a dynamic environment. We consider the assignment of retailers to facilities, taking into account the timing, location, and size of production and inventories, in the presence of various types of constraints. We formulate the problem as a nonlinear assignment pr...

E-grocery is a new emerging and challenging business channel for the food and beverage market, enabling consumers to purchase grocery products online. It combines the issues of last mile distribution with those related to the perishability of foods, affecting the success and profitability of several e-grocery companies. The Local Food Supply Chain (LFSC) concerns the local production and delive...

Agricultural supply chain (ASC) plays a vital role for sustainability as it is the main source of food supply. ASC encounters more sources risk due to seasonality, perishability, and weather conditions, which makes global security system complex. This paper develops an optimization model perishable product decide optimal management strategy that maximizes decision maker's expected profit under ...

Keywords: Approximate dynamic programming Artificial neural networks Cross-price elasticity Markdown optimization Dynamic pricing Aggregation a b s t r a c t Markdown policies for product groups having significant cross-price elasticity among each other should be jointly determined. However, finding optimal policies for product groups becomes computationally intractable as the number of product...

Abstract With the vigorous development of e-commerce, digital content consumption has prospered in consumer market. Considering perishability products and negative utility advertisements on users, paper develops a dynamic game model for supply chain with platform an upstream advertiser, obtains optimal (or equilibrium) resource investing, pricing, advertising strategies under centralized decent...

While the development and application of inventory control models of deterioration products is one of the main concerns of researchers and practitioners, most studies done in this field have focused on inventory models under fixed supply lead time assumption. In this paper, at first we study researches done in inventory control of deteriorating items and classify them based on modeling approach...

Perishability of agri-food products impacts the economic, environmental, and social aspects supply chains (AFSCs). Product perishability is, usually, considered in tactical operational decisions, but not strategic ones, such as design AFSC. The contribution this paper is that it investigates impact product on an AFSC design. To do so, first, a novel mixed-integer linear programming model propos...

Proper inventory management is vital to achieving sustainability within a supply chain and also related company’s cash flow through the funds represented by inventory. Therefore, it necessary balance excess insufficient However, this can be difficult achieve in presence of stochastic demand because decisions must made an uncertain environment policy bears risks associated with each decision. Th...
