Demand uncertainty and inventory turnover performance: an empirical analysis of the US retail industry
(Emerald Publishing, 2016)Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of demand uncertainty on inventory turnover performance through empirical modeling. In particular the authors use the inaccuracy of quarterly sales forecasts ... -
Experimental Results Indicating Lattice-Dependent Policies May Be Optimal for General Assemble-To-Order Systems
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)We consider an assemble-to-order (ATO) system with multiple products, multiple components which may be demanded in different quantities by different products, possible batch ordering of components, random lead times, and ... -
