We consider a version of the stochastic inventory control problem for a spectrally positive L\'evy demand process, in which the inventory can only be replenished at independent exponential times. We show the optimality of a periodic barrier…
We consider a two-product inventory system with independent Poisson demands, limited joint storage capacity and partial demand substitution. Replenishment is performed simultaneously for both products and the replenishment time may be fixed…
Products with intermittent demand are characterized by a high risk of sales losses and obsolescence due to the sporadic occurrence of demand events. Generally, both point forecasting and probabilistic forecasting approaches are applied to…
A new approach to solve the continuous-time stochastic inventory problem using the fluctuation theory of Levy processes is developed. This approach involves the recent developments of the scale function that is capable of expressing many…
In this paper we study a continuous time stochastic inventory model for a commodity traded in the spot market and whose supply purchase is affected by price and demand uncertainty. A firm aims at meeting a random demand of the commodity at…
In this paper we consider storage and inventory systems. Our aim is to apply and review main results of the fluctuation theory of stochastic processes in the context of storage and inventory modeling. We describe systems where the inflow is…
We consider an inventory system whose state is modeled by a L\'{e}vy process. There are two types of costs--the running costs and the inventory control costs. The running costs (also known as the holding/penalty costs) are incurred…
We study a supply chain consisting of production-inventory systems at several locations which are coupled by a common supplier. Demand of customers arrives at each production system according to a Poisson process and is lost if the local…
In this article, we consider a continuous review (s, S) inventory system with failures of demand fulfillment (service) modeled as a Markov-modulated retrial queueing system. The inventory system features a single product that experiences…
This paper analyzes single-item continuous-review inventory models with random supplies in which the inventory dynamic between orders is described by a diffusion process, and a long-term average cost criterion is used to evaluate decisions.…
Intermittent demand fluctuations pose significant challenges in disaster logistics and medical supply systems. In this study, we formulate cumulative demand as a generalized L\'evy process composed of a drift term, Poisson jumps, and…
In this article, we investigate a dynamic control problem of a production-inventory system. Here, demands arrive at the production unit according to a Poisson process and are processed in an FCFS manner. The processing time of the…
Group-buying auction has become a popular marketing strategy in the last decade. In this paper, a stochastic model is developed for an inventory system subjects to demands from group-buying auctions. The model discussed here takes into the…
A storage system where a k units stock is replaced instantaneously, when required,is presented in this work. It is also supposed a Poisson demand. It is proved that the storage system replenishment cost expected present value function…
In this paper, we revisit the optimal periodic dividend problem, in which dividend payments can only be made at the jump times of an independent Poisson process. In the dual (spectrally positive L\'evy) model, recent results have shown the…
In this paper, we consider an infinite horizon, continuous-review, stochastic inventory system in which cumulative customers' demand is price-dependent and is modeled as a Brownian motion. Excess demand is backlogged. The revenue is earned…
We study a stochastic control problem where the underlying process follows a spectrally negative L\'{e}vy process. A controller can continuously increase the process but only decrease it at independent Poisson arrival times. We show the…
We study the optimal dividend problem in the dual model where dividend payments can only be made at the jump times of an independent Poisson process. In this context, Avanzi et al. [5] solved the case with i.i.d. hyperexponential jumps;…
This paper studies a class of optimal multiple stopping problems driven by L\'evy processes. Our model allows for a negative effective discount rate, which arises in a number of financial applications, including stock loans and real…
We consider a single-echelon inventory system under periodic review with two suppliers facing stochastic demand, where excess demand is backlogged. The expedited supplier has a shorter lead time than the regular supplier but charges a…
