Abstract / Description of output

The determination of order quantities in an inventory control problem of perishable products with non-stationary demand can be formulated as a Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming problem (MINLP). One challenge is to deal with the β-service level constraint in terms of the loss function. This paper studies the properties of the optimal solution and derives specific algorithms to determine optimal quantities.
