Optimal pricing and ordering policy for non-instantaneous deteriorating items under inflation and customer returns
Ghoreishi, M.; Mirzazadeh, A.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-01)
This paper deals with an economic production quantity inventory model for non-instantaneous deteriorating items under inflationary conditions considering customer returns. We adopt a price-and time-dependent demand function. Also, the customer returns are considered as a function of both price and demand. The effects of time value of money are studied using the Discounted Cash Flow approach. The main objective is to determine the optimal selling price, the optimal replenishment cycles, and the optimal produ...
Optimal operation policies for multi-item vending machines with product dedicated variant towers
Şahin, Hacı; Duran, Serhan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2019)
In this thesis we focus on modelling and solving the operation policy problem of a seller by managing its vending machines at different locations. Each vending machine has sale unit towers, which can hold different items; therefore, the decisions of which items should be kept at which location and with how many sale towers become important. Due to the uncertainties faced in demand, solution of the problem determines the allocation of towers to the items and machines throughout a time horizon. Stochastic opt...
Optimal pricing and production decisions in utilizing reusable containers
Atamer, Busra; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin (2013-06-01)
In this study, we focus on pricing and production decisions in utilizing reusable containers with stochastic customer demand. We consider a manufacturer that sells a single product to the customers in reusable containers with two supply options: (i) brand-new containers and (ii) returned containers from customers. The return quantity depends on both customer demand and the acquisition fee determined by the manufacturer. The unit cost of production using brand-new containers is different than the unit cost o...

Optimal production and inventory policies of priority and price-differentiated customers
Duran, Serhan; SİMCHİ-LEVİ, David; Swann, Julie L. (2007-01-01)
Many firms are exploring production and supply chain strategies when customers may be segmented into different classes based on service level or priority. Such segmentation can result in a more efficient production system as well as a better match between supply and demand. In this research, we analyze a system with customer classes 1 and 2, where customer class 1 has a higher priority of fulfillment than customer class 2 in the same period. We develop an optimal production and inventory strategy that ratio...
