Download or read book Evaluation of Cost Balancing Policies in Multi echelon Stochastic Inventory Control Problems written by Qian Yu (S.M.) and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (cont.) The dual-balancing policy can be modified in several ways to get other cost balancing policies. It has been proven that the dual-balancing policy has a worst-case guarantee of 2 but this does not indicate the empirical performance. An approximately optimal policy is considered as the benchmark to test the quality of the cost balancing policies. In the computational experiments, the dual-balancing policy shows an average error of 7.74% compared to the approximately optimal policy, much better than the theoretical worst-case guarantee. The three variants of cost balancing policies have made significant improvement on the performance of the dual-balancing policy. The accuracy of the dual-balancing policy is also affected by the system parameters. In addition, with high demand rate and long lead times, we have observed several scenarios when the cost balancing policies dominate the approximately optimal policy.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We consider a periodic-review single-product multi-echelon inventory problem with instantaneous replenishment. In each period, the decision-maker makes ordering decisions for all echelons. Any unsatisfied demand is backordered, and any excess inventory is carried to the next period. In contrast to the classic inventory literature, we assume that the information of the demand distribution is not known a priori, and the decision-maker observes demand realizations over the planning horizon. We propose a non-parametric algorithm that generates a sequence of adaptive ordering decisions based on the stochastic gradient descent method. We compare the T-period cost of our algorithm to the clairvoyant, who knows the underlying demand distribution in advance, and we prove that the expected T-period regret is at most O( √ T), matching a lower bound for this problem.

Download or read book Single Stage Approximations of Multiechelon Inventory Models written by Kevin Shang and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter summarizes recent development on simple heuristics for optimal inventory policies of multi-echelon inventory systems. These simple heuristics are based on solving a sequence of single-stage inventory problems whose parameters are obtained from the original system data. We mainly focus on series systems under continuous-review and periodic-review schemes and briefly discuss the key results for the assembly and distribution systems. The information is centralized, and the objective is to minimize the average total cost per time period/the expected discounted cost over a planning horizon. When fixed order costs are negligible, echelon base-stock policies are considered. On the other hand, when fixed order costs are significant, we consider (r, q) policies for the continuous-review system and (s,T) policies for the periodic-review system. These heuristics not only simplify the computation and implementation, but also help gain insights into managing inventory in supply chains. We also provide a summary of how to obtain simple solutions to some extend models.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reorder point and reorder quantity for a multi-echelon inventory system consisting of two levels were determined through the use of a mathematical model and a computer simulation was used to verify the results. The main echelon supported two lower echelon stock points and reordered using a continuous review inventory policy. The two lower echelon stock points operated under periodic review policies. The measure of effectiveness used was to minimize total system costs subject to a constraint on the maximum number of back orders per year. The results from the mathematical model were used as input values for the simulation and measures of effectiveness were compared. An alternative procedure was proposed and simulated; and the results of the three products were compared. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (cont.) In addition to providing a simple proof technique, the new approach gives rise to efficient algorithms for the calculation of the policy parameters, for all the systems described above. Finally we analyze an assembly system with stochastic leadtimes. We show that the problem can be decomposed into a series of subproblems, each with a single kit of parts. This enhances our understanding about optimal policies in this setting and we develop a relatively efficient algorithm for the computation of optimal policies.

Download or read book INVENTORY POLICIES FOR A MULTI ECHELON SUPPLY SYSTEM WITH FIXED ORDER COSTS AT LOWER ECHELONS written by and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report concerns the problem of approximating optimum (least-cost) inventory policies for a multi-echelon supply system with fixed order costs at lower echelons. First, the technique for computing the approximate policies is explained in nonmathematical terms. The sensitivity of these policies, and their resulting costs, to changes in parameter values is then investigated. Finally, the effect of implementing these approximate policies in a multi echelon supply system is studied in an effort to determine the cost increase over the theoretically optimum cost. The resulting cost increase is less than 3 percent for a typical inventory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book . . . Nicolas Vandeput hacks his way through the maze of quantitative supply chain optimizations. This book illustrates how the quantitative optimization of 21st century supply chains should be crafted and executed. . . . Vandeput is at the forefront of a new and better way of doing supply chains, and thanks to a richly illustrated book, where every single situation gets its own illustrating code snippet, so could you. --Joannes Vermorel, CEO, Lokad Inventory Optimization argues that mathematical inventory models can only take us so far with supply chain management. In order to optimize inventory policies, we have to use probabilistic simulations. The book explains how to implement these models and simulations step-by-step, starting from simple deterministic ones to complex multi-echelon optimization. The first two parts of the book discuss classical mathematical models, their limitations and assumptions, and a quick but effective introduction to Python is provided. Part 3 contains more advanced models that will allow you to optimize your profits, estimate your lost sales and use advanced demand distributions. It also provides an explanation of how you can optimize a multi-echelon supply chain based on a simple—yet powerful—framework. Part 4 discusses inventory optimization thanks to simulations under custom discrete demand probability functions. Inventory managers, demand planners and academics interested in gaining cost-effective solutions will benefit from the "do-it-yourself" examples and Python programs included in each chapter. Events around the book Link to a De Gruyter Online Event in which the author Nicolas Vandeput together with Stefan de Kok, supply chain innovator and CEO of Wahupa; Koen Cobbaert, Director in the S&O Industry practice of PwC Belgium; Bram Desmet, professor of operations & supply chain at the Vlerick Business School in Ghent; and Karl-Eric Devaux, Planning Consultant, Hatmill, discuss about models for inventory optimization.

Download or read book Retail Supply Chain Management written by Narendra Agrawal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition focuses on three crucial areas of retail supply chain management: (1) empirical studies of retail supply chain practices, (2) assortment and inventory planning and (3) integrating price optimization into retail supply chain decisions. The book has been fully updated, expanding on the distinguishing features of the original, while offering three new chapters on recent topics which reflect areas of great interest and relevance to the academic and professional communities alike - inventory management in the presence of data inaccuracies, retail workforce management, and fast fashion retail strategies. The innovations, lessons for practice, and new technological solutions for managing retail supply chains are important not just in retailing, but offer crucial insights and strategies for the ultimate effective management of supply chains in other industries as well. The retail industry has emerged as a fascinating choice for researchers in the field of supply chain management. It presents a vast array of stimulating challenges that have long provided the context of much of the research in the area of operations research and inventory management. However, in recent years, advances in computing capabilities and information technologies, hyper-competition in the retail industry, emergence of multiple retail formats and distribution channels, an ever increasing trend towards a globally dispersed retail network, and a better understanding of the importance of collaboration in the extended supply chain have led to a surge in academic research on topics in retail supply chain management. Many supply chain innovations (e.g., vendor managed inventory) were first conceived and successfully validated in this industry, and have since been adopted in others. Conversely, many retailers have been quick to adopt cutting edge practices that first originated in other industries. Retail Supply Chain Management: Quantitative Models and Empirical Studies, 2nd Ed. is an attempt to summarize the state of the art in this research, as well as offer a perspective on what new applications may lie ahead.
