Inventory Control with Limited Capacity and Advance Demand Information
Manufacturers make production decisions and carry inventory to satisfy uncertain demand. When holding and shortage costs are high, carrying inventory could be even more expensive for a capacitated production system. Recent developments in information technology and sales strategies enabled firms to acquire, collect, or induce advance demand information. We address a periodic-review, stochastic,...
متن کاملOptimal Capacity Expansion Strategies under Demand Uncertainty
This paper presents a novel approach to compute optimal machine, shop oor and shell space expansion times under uncertain customer demand. It considers multiple machine types and allows for positive lead times for each type. Demand is assumed to be nondecreasing in a \weak" sense. A polynomial time algorithm (FIFEX) is developed and shown to be eeective and eecient with an example from the Semi...
متن کاملJoint optimization of pricing and capacity allocation for two competitive airlines under demand uncertainty
Nowadays, airline industries should overcome different barriers regarding the fierce competition and changing consumer behavior. Thus, they attempt to focus on joint decision making which enables them to set pricing and capacity allocation to maximize their profits. In this research, we develop a model to optimize pricing and capacity allocation in a duopoly of single-flight leg for two competi...
متن کاملAdvance Demand Information and a Restricted Production Capacity: on the Optimality of Order Base- Stock Policies
This paper considers the optimality of order aggregation in a single-item productioninventory problem with advance demand information and a restricted production capacity. The advance demand information is modeled by introducing a positive customer order lead time. The paper proves, when customer order lead times are less than a threshold value, it is allowed to aggregate the orders over time w...
متن کاملCapacity Investment Under Postponement Strategies, Market Competition, and Demand Uncertainty
We provide a comprehensive analysis of capacity investment decisions in duopoly models with demand uncertainty. Firms make capacity investment, production, delivery and pricing decisions. Capacity investment decisions are always made ex-ante demand whereas price decisions always ex-post. The interplay between the timing of demand information and the decision of production and delivery endows fi...
