Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retail shelf management means cost-efficiently aligning retail operations with consumer demand. As consumers expect high product availability and low prices, and retailers are constantly increasing product variety and striving towards high service levels, the complexity of managing retail business and its operations is growing enormously. Retailers need to match consumer demand with shelf supply by balancing variety (number of products) and service levels (number of items of a product), and by optimizing demand and profit through carefully calibrated prices. As a result the core strategic decisions a retailer must make involve assortment sizes, shelf space assignment and pricing levels. Rigorous quantitative methods have emerged as the most promising solution to this problem. The individual chapters in this book therefore focus on three areas: (1) combining assortment and shelf space planning, (2) providing efficient decision support systems for practically relevant problem sizes, and (3) integrating inventory and price optimization into shelf management.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, we address the problem of simultaneously determining a pricing and inventory replenishment strategy under reference price effects. This reference price effect models the fact that consumers not only react sensitively to the current price, but also to deviations from a reference price formed on the basis of past purchases. Immediate effects of price reductions on profits have to be weighted against the resulting losses in future periods. By providing an analytical analysis and numerical simulations we study how the additional dynamics of the consumers' willingness to pay affect an optimal pricing and inventory control model and whether a simple policy such as a base-stock-list-price policy holds in such a setting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A periodical multi-product pricing and inventory control problem with applications to production planning and airline revenue management is studied. The objective function of the single-period model is shown to be convex for certain types of demand distributions, thus tractable for large instances. A heuristic is proposed to solve the more complex multi-period problem, which is an interesting combination of linear and dynamic programming. Numerical experiments and theoretical bounds on the optimal expected revenue suggest that the extent to which a dynamic policy based on a stochastic model will outperform a simple static policy based on a deterministic model depends on the level of demand variability as measured by the coefficient of variation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (cont.) We introduce and study a solution method that enables to compute the optimal solution on a finite time horizon in a monopoly setting. Our results illustrate the role of capacity and the effects of the dynamic nature of demand. We then introduce an additive model of demand uncertainty. We use a robust optimization approach to protect the solution against data uncertainty in a tractable manner, and without imposing stringent assumptions on available information. We show that the robust formulation is of the same order of complexity as the deterministic problem and demonstrate how to adapt solution method. Finally, we consider a duopoly setting and use a more general model of additive and multiplicative demand uncertainty. We formulate the robust problem as a coupled constraint differential game. Using a quasi-variational inequality reformulation, we prove the existence of Nash equilibria in continuous time and study issues of uniqueness. Finally, we introduce a relaxation-type algorithm and prove its convergence to a particular Nash equilibrium (normalized Nash equilibrium) in discrete time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective pricing and inventory controls are very important for the success of a company, especially in an environment with many uncertainties such as random demand and fluctuating cost. In this work, we first consider pure dynamic pricing. Indeed, we consider three cases: markup in which price can only go up, markdown in which price can only go down, and reversible pricing in which price can go either direction. We also consider a joint pricing and inventory control model in which the raw material price evolves as a Markov process. For this model, we suppose production is make-to-order, so that the conversion from raw material to finished product is carried out only when demand arrives. For the pure pricing model, we establish the optimality of threshold-like policies. We also develop efficient and numerically stable algorithms. For the make-to-order joint inventory-pricing model, we demonstrate the optimality of a base-stock-list-price policy. In addition, we identify conditions under which policy parameters would exhibit monotone trends. Moreover, we showed the significant benefit of adopting cost-dependent base-stock list-price policy.

Download or read book Dynamic Pricing and Inventory Control with Fixed Ordering Cost and Incomplete Demand Information written by Boxiao Chen and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We consider the periodic review dynamic pricing and inventory control problem with fixed ordering cost. Demand is random and price dependent, and unsatisfied demand is backlogged. With complete demand information, the celebrated (s,S,p) policy is proved to be optimal, where s and S are the reorder point and order-up-to level for ordering strategy, and p, a function of on-hand inventory level, characterizes the pricing strategy. In this paper, we consider incomplete demand information and develop online learning algorithms whose average profit approaches that of the optimal (s,S,p) with a tight O ̃(√T) regret rate. A number of salient features differentiate our work from the existing online learning researches in the OM literature. First, computing the optimal (s,S,p) policy requires solving a dynamic programming (DP) over multiple periods involving unknown quantities, which is different from the majority of learning problems in operations management that only require solving single-period optimization questions. It is hence challenging to establish stability results through DP recursions, which we accomplish by proving uniform convergence of the profit-to-go function. The necessity of analyzing action-dependent state transition over multiple periods resembles the reinforcement learning question, considerably more difficult than existing bandit learning algorithms. Second, the pricing function p is of infinite dimension, and approaching it is much more challenging than approaching a finite number of parameters as seen in existing researches. The demand-price relationship is estimated based on upper confidence bound, but the confidence interval cannot be explicitly calculated due to the complexity of the DP recursion. Finally, due to the multi-period nature of (s,S,p) policies the actual distribution of the randomness in demand plays an important role in determining the optimal pricing strategy p, which is unknown to the learner a priori. In this paper, the demand randomness is approximated by an empirical distribution constructed using dependent samples, and a novel Wasserstein metric based argument is employed to prove convergence of the empirical distribution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We consider a joint pricing and inventory control problem where pricing can be adjusted more frequently, such as every period, than inventory ordering decisions, which are made every epoch that consists of multiple periods. This is motivated by many examples, especially for online retailers, where price is indeed much easier to change than inventory level, because changing the latter is subject to logistic and capacity constraints. In this setting, the retailer determines the inventory level at the beginning of each epoch and solves a dynamic pricing problem within each epoch with no further replenishment opportunities. The optimal pricing and inventory control policy is characterized by an intricate dynamic programming (DP) solution. We consider the situation where the demand-price function and the distribution of random demand noise are both unknown to the retailer, and the retailer needs to develop an online learning algorithm to learn those information and at the same time maximize total profit. We propose a learning algorithm based on least squares estimation and construction of an empirical noise distribution under a UCB framework and prove that the algorithm converges through the DP recursions to approach the optimal pricing and inventory control policy under complete demand information. The theoretical lower bound for convergence rate of a learning algorithm is proved based on the multivariate Van Trees inequality coupled with some structural DP analyses, and we show that the upper bound of our algorithm's convergence rate matches the theoretical lower bound.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this article, we investigate a joint pricing and inventory problem for a retailer selling fresh-agri products (FAPs) with two-period shelf lifetime in a dynamic stochastic setting, where new and old FAPs are on sale simultaneously. At the beginning of each period, the retailer makes ordering decision for new FAP and sets regular and discount prices for new and old inventories, respectively. After demand realisation, the expired leftover is disposed and unexpired inventory is carried to the next period, for continuing selling. Unmet demand of all FAPs is backordered. The objective is to maximise the total expected discount profit over the whole planning horizon. We present a price dependent, stochastic dynamic programming model taking into account zero lead-time, linear ordering costs, inventory holding and backlogging costs, as well as disposal cost. As the influence of the perishability, each customer selects his preferred choice based on the utility of product price and quality. By the way of constructing demand rate vector, the original formulation can be transferred to be jointly concave and tractable. Finally, we characterise the optimal policy and develop effective methods to solve the problem. We also conduct numerical studies to further characterise the optimal policy, and to evaluate the loss of efficiency under static policies when compared to the optimal dynamic policy.
