We consider a manufacturer serving two customer classes where one wants the item immediately and the second receives a discount to accept a delay. We show that an (S, R, B) base-stock policy is optimal under differentiation and non-differentiation where S, R, and B are the order-up-to, reserve-up-to, and backlog-up-to amounts.

An exact solution procedure for multi-item two-echelon spare parts inventory control problem with batch ordering in the central warehouse Topan, Engin; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin; Tan, Tarkan (Elsevier BV, 2010-09-01) We consider a multi-item two-echelon inventory system in which the central warehouse operates under a (Q, R) policy, and the local warehouses implement basestock policy. An exact solution procedure is proposed to find the inventory control policy parameters that minimize the system-wide inventory holding and fixed ordering cost subject to an aggregate mean response time constraint at each facility.
Order picking in parallel-aisle warehouses with multiple blocks: complexity and a graph theory-based heuristic ÇELİK, MELİH; Süral, Haldun (Informa UK Limited, 2019-02-01) In this paper, we consider the order picking problem (OPP), which constitutes one of the special cases of the Steiner travelling salesperson problem and addresses the costliest operation in a warehouse. Given a list of items to be picked and their locations in the warehouse layout, the OPP aims to find the shortest route that starts from a depot point, picks all the items in the list, and returns to the depot. This paper fills two important gaps regarding the OPP. First, to the best of our knowledge, we pre...
Optimal pricing and ordering policy for non-instantaneous deteriorating items under inflation and customer returns Ghoreishi, M.; Mirzazadeh, A.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-01) This paper deals with an economic production quantity inventory model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items under inflationary conditions considering customer returns. We adopt a price-and time-dependent demand function. Also, the customer returns are considered as a function of both price and demand. The effects of time value of money are studied using the Discounted Cash Flow approach. The main objective is to determine the optimal selling price, the optimal replenishment cycles, and the optimal produ...
Order timing strategies in a single-supplier, multi-retailer system Bakal, İsmail Serdar (2010-01-01) The timing of retailer order placement is an important factor in supply chain performance in systems with uncertain end-customer demands. Retailers often prefer short order lead times, which permits the resolution of demand uncertainty prior to order placement, and reduces the risks associated with excess inventory. Suppliers, in contrast, prefer long lead times, in order to match supply output with retailer demand. These conflicting preferences create tension between a supplier and retailers regarding orde...
An integrated inventory control and vehicle routing problem Solyalı, Oğuz; Süral, Haldun; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005) In this study, we consider a logistics system, in which a single supplier delivers a product to multiple retailers over a finite time horizon. Supplier decides on the amount to order in each period and services retailers facing deterministic dynamic demand via a fleet of vehicles having limited capacity. Each retailer has specific minimum and maximum levels of inventory in an order-up-to level inventory policy setting. The problem is to simultaneously determine the quantity of product to order to the suppli...
