This paper studies the computation of order up to levels for a stochastic programming inventory problem of a perishable product. Finding a solution is a challenge as the problem enhances a perishable product, fixed ordering cost and non-stationary stochastic demand with a service level constraint. An earlier study [6] derived order-up-to values via an MILP approximation. We consider a computati...

Retailers of perishable goods are usually confronted with the inventory decision problems. The growth retail business this nature depends largely on quality decisions. In paper optimal price and trade cycle length is determined used to order quantity for each cycle. This will provide retailer guidelines make efficient decisions maximizing gains operations.

We analyze a joint pricing and inventory control problem for a perishable product with a fixed lifetime over a finite horizon. In each period, demand depends on the price of the current period plus an additive random term. Inventories can be intentionally disposed of and those that reach their lifetime have to be disposed of. The objective is to find a joint pricing, ordering, and disposal poli...
