Production Planning under Stochastic Time-varying Demand: Flexible Service Level Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Consider stochastic production-inventory control problem in which there are multiple capacity sources, multiple heterogeneous products, non-stationary demand and time-varying costs. If shortage costs can be evaluated the natural objective is to minimize expected production, inventory and shortage costs. Otherwise one can use service level requirements as target inventory while trying to minimize costs. In this paper we present the algorithm for solving optimal production plan with service level requirements. The cost for the deviation from target value can be any differentiable and convex function. However in this paper we study the problem in which deviation cost is related to underlying demand distribution. Copyright © 2005 IFAC

Optimal flexible capacity in newsboy problem under stochastic demand and lead-time
In this paper, we consider a newsvendor who is going to invest on dedicated or flexible capacity, our goal is to find the optimal investment policy to maximize total profit while the newsvendor faces uncertainty in lead time and demand simultaneously. As highlighted in literature, demand is stochastic, while lead time is constant. However, in reality lead time uncertainty decreases newsvendor's...
متن کاملA Stochastic Programming Approach for a Multi-Site Supply Chain Planning in Textile and Apparel Industry under Demand Uncertainty
In this study, a new stochastic model is proposed to deal with a multi-product, multi-period, multi-stage, multi-site production and transportation supply chain planning problem under demand uncertainty. A two-stage stochastic linear programming approach is used to maximize the expected profit. Decisions such as the production amount, the inventory level of finished and semi-finished product, t...
متن کاملA multiple objective approach for joint ordering and pricing planning problem with stochastic lead times
The integration of marketing and demand with logistics and inventories (supply side of companies) may cause multiple improvements; it can revolutionize the management of the revenue of rental companies, hotels, and airlines. In this paper, we develop a multi-objective pricing-inventory model for a retailer. Maximizing the retailer's profit and the service level are the objectives, and shorta...
متن کاملOptimal Capacity Conversion for Product Transitions Under High Service Requirements
The MIT Faculty has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. We consider the capacity planning problem during a product transition in which demand for a new-generation product gradually replaces that for the old product. Capacity for the new product can be acquired both by purchasing new production lines and by converting existing produc...
متن کاملProduction Planning Problems with Joint Service-Level Guarantee: A Computational Study
We consider a class of single-stage multi-period production planning problems under demand uncertainty. The main feature of our paper is to incorporate a joint service-level constraint to restrict the joint probability of having backorders in any period. This is motivated by manufacturing and retailing applications, in which firms need to decide the production quantities ex ante, and also have ...
