Abstract / Description of output

This paper studies the computation of order up to levels for
a stochastic programming inventory problem of a perishable product.
Finding a solution is a challenge as the problem enhances a perishable
product, xed ordering cost and non-stationary stochastic demand with
a service level constraint. An earlier study [6] derived order-up-to values
via an MILP approximation. We consider a computational method based
on the so-called Smoothed Monte Carlo method using sampled demand
to optimize values. The resulting MINLP approach uses enumeration,
bounding and iterative nonlinear optimization.
