Inventory strategies for perishable products with two-period shelf-life and l...
We develop an inventory model for perishable products with a two-period shelf-life. The demand during a stock out in either period is treated as lost sales. Besides the initial... -
Prediction accuracy of sales surprise for inventory turnover
Sales surprise, the ratio of actual sales to forecasted sales for a year, is a key determinant of firms’ inventory turnover. While the previous literature on empirical inventory... -
Diversity-enhanced particle swarm optimization algorithm based on the group b...
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a representative swarm intelligence algorithm, which has the drawback of being restricted by premature convergence. To make PSO less likely... -
