Generalizing the Announced Price Increase Problem*
将公告涨价问题推广到多种实际场景，如外汇波动和超市折扣商品限购，考虑旧价购买量限制和宽限期约束，为16种情形制定采购与库存决策规则。
ABSTRACT This paper generalizes the announced price increase problem to consider a variety of practical concerns arising out of applications ranging from foreign exchange fluctuations to upper limits on the purchase of discounted supermarket items. These include limitations on the amount that can be purchased at the old price and/or on the length of the grace period, within which buyers may take advantage of this lower price. These constraints give rise to 16 possible situations. For each situation purchasing and inventory decision rules are developed. A numerical example is discussed to highlight the main features of the models.
