Risk Aversion in Inventory Management

Chen, Xin, Sim, Melvyn, Simchi-Levi, David, Sun, Peng 01 1900 (has links)
Traditional inventory models focus on risk-neutral decision makers, i.e., characterizing replenishment strategies that maximize expected total profit, or equivalently, minimize expected total cost over a planning horizon. In this paper, we propose a framework for incorporating risk aversion in multi-period inventory models as well as multi-period models that coordinate inventory and pricing strategies. In each case, we characterize the optimal policy for various measures of risk that have been commonly used in the finance literature. In particular, we show that the structure of the optimal policy for a decision maker with exponential utility functions is almost identical to the structure of the optimal risk-neutral inventory (and pricing) policies. Computational results demonstrate the importance of this approach not only to risk-averse decision makers, but also to risk-neutral decision makers with limited information on the demand distribution. / Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA)

Integrated Multiproduct Batch Production and Truck Shipment Scheduling Under Different Shipping Policies

Sağlam, Ümit, Banerjee, Avijit 01 January 2018 (has links)
The classical economic lot-scheduling problem (ELSP) involves the batch sizing and scheduling of multiple products in a single facility under deterministic conditions over an infinite planning horizon. It is assumed that the products are delivered to customers at continuous rates. In today's supply chains, however, often employing complex delivery networks, the finished goods are usually transported in discrete lots to succeeding stages along the distribution process, in order to take advantage of economies of scale in transportation. In this paper, we formulate mathematical models that attempt to integrate the production lot scheduling problem with outbound shipment decisions. The optimization objective is to minimize the total relevant costs of a manufacturer, which distributes a set of products to multiple retailers. In making the production/distribution decisions, the common cycle approach is employed to solve the ELSP, for simplicity. Two different shipping scenarios, i.e. periodic full truckload (TL) peddling shipments and less than truckload (LTL) direct shipping, are integrated with and linked to the multiproduct batching decisions. We consider these two shipment policies for both coordinated and uncoordinated scenarios. The resulting mixed-integer, non-linear programming models (MINLPs) are solved by the BONMIN solver. Finally, a set of numerical examples illustrate and evaluate the relative efficacies of these policies.

Gestão de estoques de peças com múltiplos fornecedores. / Multiple suppliers inventory models for spare parts.

Holzhey, Klaus Dieter 10 April 2013 (has links)
O trabalho a seguir apresenta o desenvolvimento e resultados da pesquisa acerca de modelos de estoques para múltiplos fornecedores, baseado na distribuição de peças de manutenção de empresas de tecnologia no Brasil. Em função de características de demandas erráticas, altos custos das peças e demanda por tempos de entrega reduzidos, costuma-se adotar uma estratégia de distribuir peças em diversos centros de estoques por todo território nacional. Entretanto, manter altos estoques em cada uma das localidades do sistema pode trazer custos elevados. Devido às características da demanda, muitas vezes ocorrem faltas de estoques de itens críticos, que são enviados aos locais de demanda por meio de transportes emergenciais de alto custo e prazos de entregas reduzidos. Entretanto, os modelos convencionais de estoques adotados, não consideram as possibilidades de envios emergenciais em suas formulações, fazendo desta solução uma situação não prevista na modelagem e potencialmente não ótima. A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo desenvolver e avaliar os modelos convencionais de estoques para a situação de múltiplos fornecedores considerando custos e prazos de entregas diferentes, como alternativa para os modelos adotados na distribuição de peças de manutenção. Sua aplicação a outros problemas, inclusive ambientes de múltiplos fornecedores independentemente de diferenças de transportes é imediata. A pesquisa abrange sete modelos, sendo três modelos reativos (reposição da base, reposição do máximo e lote fixo) em regimes de revisão periódica e contínua, e um modelo ativo considerando previsão de demanda. Foi utilizada busca local com simulação de eventos discretos para resolver os modelos propostos. / The present work presents research and development of multiple supplier inventory models, based on the service parts logistics in the technology industry. Because of the lumpy demand characteristics, high costs of parts and low delivery time expectations, a strategy to spread parts inventories all over the country was adopted. However, maintaining high inventory in every location of the system can lead to high costs. Because of the demand characteristics critical items can get unavailable in certain location, which are supplied by emergency shipment from supplying locations with high transportation costs and reduced delivery times. However, the conventional inventory models that are used do not consider the possibility of emergency shipments, leading to potential non optimal distribution of parts. The present research aims to develop and evaluate the inventory models considering multiple transportation modals with different lead times and costs, to serve as an alternative to the current inventory models used. The application to other problems, including different suppliers independent of transportation mode, is immediate. The research covers seven different models: three reactive, (s, S), (S-1, S) and (R, Q) in continuous and periodic review, and one demand prediction based model. Local search and discrete events simulation was used to resolve the models.
