The Maximization Inventory

چکیده
We present the Maximization Inventory, which consists of three separate scales: decision difficulty, alternative search, and satisficing. We show that the items of the Maximization Inventory have much better psychometric properties when compared to the original Maximization Scale (Schwartz et al., 2002). The satisficing scale is a new addition to the study of maximization behavior, and we demonstrate that this scale is positively correlated with positive adaptation, whereas the decision difficulty and alternative search scales are positively correlated with nonproductive decisional behavior. The Maximization Inventory was then compared to previous maximization scales and, while the decision difficulty and alternative search scales are positively correlated with similar previous constructs, the satisficing scale offers a dimension entirely different from maximization.

A Two-Location Inventory Model with Transshipment and Local Decision Making
In situations where a seller has surplus stock and another seller is stocked out, it may be desirable to transfer surplus stock from the former to the latter. We examine how the possibility of such transshipments between two independent locations affects the optimal inventory orders at each location. If each location aims to maximize its own profits—we call this local decision making—their inve...
متن کاملMulti-item Fuzzy Inventory Problem with Space Constraint via Geometric Programming Method
In this paper, a multi-item inventory model with space constraint is developed in both crisp and fuzzy environment. A profit maximization inventory model is proposed here to determine the optimal values of demands and order levels of a product. Selling price and unit price are assumed to be demand-dependent and holding and set-up costs sock dependent. Total profit and warehouse space are consid...
متن کاملA simultaneous pricing and inventory control model for a single product with capacitated working capital
The simultaneous stochastic pricing and inventory management with capacitated cash-on-hand is a profit maximization problem faced by a firm, which has limited working capital for its liabilities. In addition to this working capital constraint, the company has to dynamically price its products and determine inventory levels to minimize its expected cost. In our study, we tackle this complicated ...
متن کاملInventory, investment, and pricing policies for lot-size decision makers
In this paper, we construct and analyze inventory and investment in quality im provement policies under return on investment (ROI) maximization. In our model, the level of quality is represented by the fraction of an order quantity meeting the quality requirements such £is product specifications. The key contributions of this paper are the establishment of an ROI model and characterization of ...
متن کاملA production-inventory model with permissible delay incorporating learning effect in random planning horizon using genetic algorithm
This paper presents a production-inventory model for deteriorating items with stock-dependent demand under inflation in a random planning horizon. The supplier offers the retailer fully permissible delay in payment. It is assumed that the time horizon of the business period is random in nature and follows exponential distribution with a known mean. Here learning effect is also introduced for th...
