Using a newsvendor model for demand planning of NFL replica jerseys
… a single period. The approach taken utilizes the newsvendor model to determine the optimal stocking levels of replica jerseys given an expected demand forecast. Two modeling approaches were compared, the traditional newsvendor problem and a newsvendor model with risk pooling. The traditional …

Data-driven revenue management
In this thesis, we consider the classical newsvendor model and various important extensions. We do not assume that the demand distribution is known, rather the only information available is a set of independent samples drawn from the demand distribution. In particular, the variants of the model we …

Discrete Choice-based Equilibrium Modeling of Supply Chain Network with Conflicting Objectives and Demand Uncertainty
… chain network. In particular, discrete choice models are introduced into supply chain equilibrium models to bridge the conflicting objective decision-making in supply chains and customer preference. Furthermore, numerical examples are provided for model illustration, managerial insights, and …

Determining optimal inventory levels for items nearing the end of a production run
… no following period's demand. In this thesis, a newsvendor inventory optimization model which considers salvage value and initial inventory level along with two alternative (s, S) model formulations are tailored to fit items nearing the end of a production run. One of the (s, S) inventory models …

Essays on Inventory Management and Object Allocation
… objects to agents. In the second, we study a newsvendor model where the inventory manager has access to two experts that provide advice, and examine how and when an optimal algorithm can be efficiently computed. In the third, we study classical single-resource capacity allocation problem and …

Optimization of CPG budgets in Retailer-led marketing programs
… Considering uncertainty in redemption, the Newsvendor model was also explored to review the possibility of over-allocation to improve budget utilization and increase reach. The preliminary analysis findings offer promising results and provide a setting for further research.

A Seasonal Shelf Space Reorder Model Decision Support System
<p>The traditional newsvendor model results in a decision to reorder an item whenever the expected profit from the reorder is positive. Candidates for reorder include all items selling more quickly than had been anticipated during preseason forecasts and ordering. Retailers must also decide how to …

Optimal patrol routing and scheduling for parking enforcement considering drivers' parking behavior
… patrol operations, this work presents several models to generate patrol schemes that help parking departments achieve low operational costs and effective enforcement. This thesis considers two levels of problems: i) parking behavior of drivers based on given patrol frequency (but not schedule), …

Disruption Information, Network Topology and Supply Chain Resilience
… We perform the analysis by adopting a newsvendor model. The results show that information accuracy, specifically information bias and information variance, plays an important role in determining the value of disruption information. However, this influence varies at different levels of …

Stochastic Programming Approaches to Multi-product Inventory Management Problems with Substitution
… problems by theoretically analyzing mathematical models and developing efficient solution approaches. To that end, we address four problems. In the first problem, we study different pricing strategies and the role of substitution for new and remanufactured products. Our work presents a two-stage …

Data-driven optimization and analytics for operations management applications
… first part of the thesis analyzes the well-known newsvendor model but under the assumption that, even though demand is stochastic, its probability distribution is not part of the input. Instead, the only information available is a set of independent samples drawn from the demand distribution. We …

Inventory Systems with Transshipments and Quantity Discounts
This research advances knowledge in the area of inventory systems and the relationship between competing retailers and suppliers of goods. This dissertation studies retailers that face uncertainty in the demand for goods and who purchase the goods from a single supplier. A game theoretic …

Demand Modeling And Capacity Planning For Innovative Short Life-Cycle Products
<p>This dissertation focuses on demand modeling and capacity planning for innovative short life-cycle products. We first developed a new model in the class of stochastic Bass formulations that addresses the shortcomings of models from the extant literature. The proposed model considers the common …
