Maximum Profit Model for Longitudinal Multi-Level Inventory Structure

Abstract:

In this research we study the demand characteristics and service sensitivity of solar energy water heater products in the whole life cycle, establish the maximum profit model of multi-level inventory system. Adopt the maximum profit model checking the enterprise actual research instance, analysis the relationship of the customer mean demand changes between the optimal service level or the maximum profit, the results show that the maximum profit model can reflect the relationship of the customer mean demand changes between the maximum profit.
