Decision-making and the newsvendor problem: an experimental study
This paper investigates repetitive purchase decisions of perishable items in the face of uncertain demand (the newsvendor problem). The experimental design includes: high, or low profit levels; and uniform, or normal demand distributions. The results show that in all cases both learning and convergence occur and are effected by: (1) the mean demand; (2) the order-size of the maximal expected pr...
متن کاملDecision based model selection for the newsvendor problem
This thesis studies the performance of a decision based model selection (DBMS) method for newsvendor problems. In the newsvendor problem an optimal stock quantity has to be determined based on the distribution of the demand. The DBMS method distinguishes itself from conventional model selection methods by selecting models based on the performance of its decision, rather than on the goodness-of-...
متن کاملTeam decision-making and individual learning in the newsvendor problem
Short abstract Past experimental studies of decision-making in the context of the Newsvendor problem unanimously find that the decision-makers tend to make suboptimal decisions and, unless special measures are taken to induce “in-task” learning, fail to improve quality of their decisions over time. However, most of these past studies dealt with individual decision-makers. In the present study w...
متن کاملThe Censored Newsvendor Problem with Newsvendor Demand Distributions
We study the dynamic newsvendor problem with censored demand for both perishable and storable inventory models. We focus on the cases when demand is represented by a member of the newsvendor family of distributions. We show that the Weibull density is the only member of newsvendor distributions for which the optimal solution can be expressed in scalable form. Consequently, scalability yields su...
متن کاملNewsvendors Tackle the Newsvendor Problem
In 1998, the retail sales and marketing division of Time Inc., the largest publisher of consumer magazines in the US, reviewed its newsstand distribution principles and procedures for its magazines. This review affected the three major distribution decisions: the evaluation of each magazine’s national print order, the wholesaler allotment procedure, and the store distribution process. For this ...
