The big data newsvendor: Practical insights from machine learning

GY Ban, C Rudin - Operations Research, 2019 - pubsonline.informs.org
We investigate the data-driven newsvendor problem when one has n observations of p
features related to the demand as well as historical demand data. Rather than a two-step …

Approximation algorithms for perishable inventory systems

X Chao, X Gong, C Shi, H Zhang - Operations Research, 2015 - pubsonline.informs.org
We develop the first approximation algorithms with worst-case performance guarantees for
periodic-review perishable inventory systems with general product lifetime, for both …

Information sharing and order variability control under a generalized demand model

L Chen, HL Lee - Management science, 2009 - pubsonline.informs.org
The value of information sharing and how it could address the bullwhip effect have been the

Robust approximation to multiperiod inventory management

CT See, M Sim - Operations research, 2010 - pubsonline.informs.org
We propose a robust optimization approach to address a multiperiod inventory control
problem under ambiguous demands, that is, only limited information of the demand …

Dynamic procurement of new products with covariate information: The residual tree method

GY Ban, J Gallien… - Manufacturing & Service …, 2019 - pubsonline.informs.org
