Inventory is a significant and important asset for retailers and represents what a store has to offer its customers for instant purchase; at the same time, considerable costs are associated with holding inventory. In this study, we use inventory turnover as a measure of inventory performance. We...

We propose a new model of trading in OTC markets. Dealers accumulate inventories by trading with end-investors and trade among each other to reduce their inventory holding costs. Core dealers use a more efficient trading technology than peripheral dealers, who are heterogeneously connected to...

We study the problem of optimally managing an inventory with unknown demand trend. Our formulation leads to a stochastic control problem under partial observation, in which a Brownian motion with non-observable drift can be singularly controlled in both an upward and downward direction. We first...

This paper analyses literature contributions in the search for safety stock problem under uncertainties and risks in the procurement process, focusing on the dimensioning problem (determination of the safety stock level). We perform a systematic literature review (SLR) from 1995 to 2019 in...

In this study, joint inventory replenishment planning of an Alibaba distribution system is investigated, which contributes to the circular economy concept. The distribution system includes suppliers, central distribution centers, and front distribution centers. The total replenishment cost of...

The inventory routing problem is a complex topic recognized by the scientific literature. This work shows up this kind of problem, particularly a problem with freight traffic indicator as an objective for optimization, also a mathematical model and procedure for the resolution of this problem in...

Purpose: The objective of this research was to implement new inventory management in a footwear company through the analysis of indicators obtained from inventory data collection. Design/methodology/approach: The methods of ABC analysis, demand forecasting, safety stock, reorder point and...

Inventory management is becoming very challenging for the retailer over the years due to the uncertainty in the demand and supply of products in financial risk and management systems. In a competitive market, running a business smoothly in a highly suitable place is day by day becoming tough due...

The demand for perishable food products is often influenced by the selling price and the age of the items. This is because perishable food products have become commodities from consumers' point of view, hence, there are very little differences between competing brands. Consequently, factors like...

Supply chain finance has been gaining attention in theory and practice. A company's financial position affects its performance and survivability in dynamic and volatile markets. Those that have weak financial performance are vulnerable when operating in environments that are uncertain and...

Workpiece location is critical to efficiently plan actions downstream in manufacturing processes. In labor-intensive heavy industries, like construction and shipbuilding, multiple stakeholders interact, stack and move workpieces in the absence of any system to log such actions. While...

"Modern warehouses are capitalizing on cutting-edge technologies, new operating models and innovative practices to maximize their role in the wider supply chain. Understand how to successfully manage these warehouses with this bestselling guide.Warehouse Management guides the reader through all...

While the basic economic order quantity model has found some practical applications, it makes a number of assumptions which do not reflect most real life inventory systems. This paper proposes an inventory system where the items ordered are capable of growing during the course of the inventory...

Logging and tracking raw materials, workpieces and engineered products for seamless and quick pulls is a complex task in the construction and shipbuilding industries due to lack of structured storage solutions. Additional uncertainty is introduced if workpieces are stacked and moved by multiple...

Certain inventory items are living organisms, for example livestock, and are therefore capable of growing during the replenishment cycle. These items often serve as various saleable food items downstream in supply chains. The purpose of this paper is to develop a lot sizing model for growing...
