Stochastic Optimization of Inventory Control

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we focus on the interaction between inventory investment and market demand, and consequent effect on discount profit when stochastic disturbance is introduced into the system. To this end, we set up optimal decision-making models on inventory cross-time management , in which inventory is considered as firms investment and Market demand follows SDE , as well as inventory investment. Helpful results and three propositions are obtained.
