Background: Inventory planning in retail supply chains requires balancing cost efficiency and service reliability under demand uncertainty and financial limitations. The literature has seldom addressed the joint integration of stochastic demand, deterministic lead times, and supplier-specific...

Bringing together nonlinear optimization with polyhedral and integrality constraints enables versatile modeling, but poses significant computational challenges. We investigate a method to address these problems based on sequential mixed-integer linearization with trust region safeguard,...

Numerous industrial fields, like supply chain management, face mixed-integer optimization problems on a regular basis. Such problems typically show a sparse structure and vary in size, as well as complexity. However, in order to satisfy customer demands, it is crucial to find good solutions to...
