A new senior management team developed a customer intimacy strategy with a data ...

In this article we present an interesting result on consolidating several one-warehouse multiretailer systems with deterministic customer demands. We examine the inventory cost impact of decreasing the number of warehouses used (by possibly re-assigning retailers to other warehouses). We prove that (i) using only two properly selected warehouses, we can ensure that the system-wide inventory cos...

A deterministic inventory model with two levels of storage (own warehouse and rented warehouse) with non-instantaneous deteriorating items is studied. The supplier offers the retailer a trade credit period to settle the amount. Different scenarios based on the deterioration and the trade credit period have been considered. In this article, we have framed two models considering single warehouse ...

We present three problems motivated by order fulfillment in online retailing. First, we focus on one warehouse or fulfillment center. To optimize the storage space and labor, an e-tailer splits the warehouse into two regions with different storage densities. One is for picking customer orders and the other to hold a reserve stock that replenishes the picking area. Consequently, the warehouse is...

In this paper we shall discuss with the optimal ordering policy for two warehouse inventory model of non-instantaneous deteriorating items and stock-dependent demand. Here shortage is not allowed. Here the holding and deteriorating costs in both warehouses are different and assumed that the holding cost in the RW(rented warehouse) than in the OW(owned warehouse) the optimal solution are shown. ...

Inventory management systems are indispensable for most companies since the cost of implementing robust systems, such as Warehouse Management System (WMS), leads to invest a high implementation value depending on structure that best suits their internal flow.
