Dynamic Inventory Models and Stochastic Programming
A wide class of single-product, dynamic inventory problems with convex cost functions and a finite horizon is investigated as a stochastic programming problem. When demands have finite discrete distribution functions, we show that the problem can be substantially reduced in size to a linear program with upper-bounded variables. Moreover,, we show that the reduced problem has a network represent...
متن کاملApproximate Parametric Dynamic Programming in Inventory Management
We present an approximation method for inventory management under multiple suppliers and stochastic lead times. The method is based on parametric dynamic programming using convex piecewise linear approximations of the differential cost function in approximate relative value iteration steps and works for a range of stochastic control problems with linear dynamics and convex piecewise linear imme...
متن کاملImproving quasi-optimal inventory and transportation policies using adaptive critic based approximate dynamic programming
We demonstrate the possibility of optimal control of physical inventory systems in a nonstationary fitness terrain, based on the combined application of evolutionary search and adaptive critic terrain following. We show that adaptive critic based approximate dynamic programming techniques based on plant-controller Jacobeans can be used with systems characterized by discrete valued states and co...
متن کاملOptimal Strategy for Integrated Dynamic Inventory Control and Supplier Selection in Unknown Environment via Stochastic Dynamic Programming
In this paper, we propose a mathematical model in stochastic dynamic optimization form to determine the optimal strategy for an integrated single product inventory control problem and supplier selection problem where the demand and purchasing cost parameters are random. For each time period, by using the proposed model, we decide the optimal supplier and calculate the optimal product volume pur...
متن کاملAn Optimal Tax Relief Policy with Aligning Markov Chain and Dynamic Programming Approach
Abstract In this paper, Markov chain and dynamic programming were used to represent a suitable pattern for tax relief and tax evasion decrease based on tax earnings in Iran from 2005 to 2009. Results, by applying this model, showed that tax evasion were 6714 billion Rials**. With 4% relief to tax payers and by calculating present value of the received tax, it was reduced to 3108 billion Rials. ...
