指出实际中普遍存在多产品多约束的报童问题(即报刊亭问题),并提出了一个能高效处理大量产品的建模与求解方法,对供应链和库存管理从业者有用。
Abstract Practically all of the many earlier papers on the newsboy problem consider a single newsboy product with no capacity constraint. This paper points out the real‐world prevalence of the “multiple‐product multiple‐constraint newsboy problem”, i.e., the “newstand problem”. We present a formulation and a solution procedure for this newsstand problem. Our solutions procedure has been designed to efficiently handle the common situation where a large number of products are involved; this solution procedure is shown to be necessary for the practical solution of realistic newsstand problems.
