Hs. Lau et Ahl. Lau, SOME RESULTS ON IMPLEMENTING A MULTIITEM MULTI-CONSTRAINT SINGLE-PERIOD INVENTORY MODEL, International journal of production economics, 48(2), 1997, pp. 121-128
Several earlier works have presented formulations and solution procedu
res for the ''newsstand problem'': a multi-item single-period (newsboy
-type) production-inventory problem. The purposes of this paper are: (
i) to present a demand distribution modelling procedure that is necess
ary for the practical implementation of many newsboy/newsstand problem
s; (ii) to obtain a better understanding of the mutli-constraint newss
tand problem by studying the behavior of its optimal solutions.
