Stockpiling inventory is an essential strategy for building supply chain resilience. It enables firms to continue operating while finding a solution unexpected event that causes disruption or demand surge. While extremely valuable when actually deployed, stockpiles incur large holding costs and usually provide no benefits until such time. To help reduce this cost, study presents new approach managing stockpiles. We show if leveraged intelligently, can also organization better meet its own...

Against the background of global climate change, agricultural ecosystems face extreme weather, resource shortages, and carbon emission pressures, necessitating green transitions. Rural tourism, a key driver rural revitalization, injects momentum into agriculture through ecological monetization, low-carbon technology adoption, industrial restructuring. This study evaluates tourism development levels in Jiangxi Province (2008–2022) using entropy weight method explores their spatiotemporal...

Problem definition: We consider an online retailer selling multiple products to different zones over a finite horizon with periods. At the start of horizon, orders from single supplier and stores them at warehouses. The determines products’ order quantities their storage each warehouse subject its capacity constraint. end period, after random demands in period are realized, chooses retrieval fulfill zone. objective is maximize retailer’s expected profit horizon. Methodology/results: For...

Problem definition: This paper studies the single-warehouse assortment selection problem that aims to minimize order fulfillment cost under cardinality constraint. We propose two fulfillment-related functions corresponding spillover and splitting. includes fill rate maximization as a special case. show although objective function is submodular for broad class of functions, with largest size being NP-hard. Methodology/results: To make tractable solve, we formulate general warehouse types...

Kuribo et al. (2019) studies a capacity provider and group of independent buyers sharing scarce but expensive-to-build over finite horizon. At the beginning horizon, capac...

We study a two‐stage decision problem, namely, the allocation and deployment of reserved inventories (RIs) in supply network with random demand surges. The surge follows time‐dependent stochastic process our objective is to minimize expected total unmet presence positive transshipment lead times. first solve optimal problem given that surges have occurred at some locations. show policy “nested” respect shadow price each location, where represents marginal reduction due increase RIs....

Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) is a kind of system safety analysis method, which can deal with the problems nonlinear system[1-3]. This paper tries to develop FRAM into dynamic research and model because that only be used as artificial static analysis. In development model, fact accident investigators pay more attention time line has been taking account. According important points, case study using on map each different points.

A collaborative optimization strategy is proposed through an in-depth analysis and research on the coordination information of cross-border e-commerce in Belt Road Initiative (BRI). In terms ideas, logistics network model overseas warehouse mode under maritime air transport modes established to reach objectives cost-saving, time efficiency, best satisfaction, realize optimal resource allocation combination elements; technical route, diversity solution set maintained or even improved a more...

A retailer sells a single product for period. During transportation and storage, some of these products are consumed by the either (1) due to unavoidable damages (passive self-consumption), or (2) distributed free customers (proactive self-consumption). This creates mismatch between amount purchased available sale. We study passive self-consumption with (i) fixed (ii) proportional consumption, proactive (iii) additive (iv) multiplicative demand. Under self-consumption, holds more inventory...

We consider a firm that sells product with short life cycle to time-sensitive customers. The customers’ valuations decrease over time and they are grouped into different classes according their delay sensitivities, the marginal of valuation time. is sold at two points sale (POS’s): pre-sale regular sale. study firm's sales strategy which involves pricing rationing decisions. decision deciding customers satisfy other formulate problem for both capacitated uncapacitated firms in order...
