This study examines the issue of cutting emissions by reducing shipment frequency within the framework of periodic inventory review system, which is one of the most popular inventory control systems in practice. We first formulate a benchmark model to represent the Business-As-Usual scenario...

We investigate a periodic-review inventory system for a single item with stochastic demand and random yield. Since the optimal policy for such a system is complicated, we study the class of stationary linear-inflation policies where orders are only placed if the inventory position is below a...

We study the inventory control problem of a retailer working under stochastic demand and stochastic limited supply. We assume that the unfilled part of the retailer׳s order is fully backordered at the supplier and replenished with certainty in the following period. As it may not always be...
