24
Q

p(q,X)

A

the total net profit at the end of the period

25
P(q)
the expected net profit function
26
what is loss of good will
cost for each unit of unsatisfied demand
27
Single variable unconstrained optimization problem
true
28
to guarantee the desired coverage for a discrete random variable, we have to make sure the cumulative distribution value covers the what
critical ratio value
29
q in backlogging
order-up-to level
30
T in backlogging
finite horizon length
31
Xt in backlogging
demand
32
What are the revenues and costs incurred throughout the planning horizon for backlogging
purchase cost for first period purchase cost for periods 2 and beyond sales revenue in periods 1 and on sales revenue for the last period expected backordering cost
33
why does h=Co for backlogging
since we can use the left over units to satisfy the demand in the next period
34
What are the 2 limitations with the newsvendor model
there is not setup cost for placing an order the order replenishment is instantaneous
35
what are the 2 decision variables for stochastic demand
reorder level (when to order) order size (how much to order)
36
for qr the inventory level is reviewed on a blank basis
continous
37
for qr the planning horizon is blank
infinite
38
for qr the demand is blank and follows a stationary underlying process, the parameters of the process do not change over time
random
39
for qr the order quantity can be a blank value
continuous
40
for qr there is a blank lead time for the delivery of an order
positive
41
for qr the entire order quantity can be delivered at the blank of the lead time
end
42
for qr the cost and revenue parameters are blank and blank throughout the planning horizon
known and constant
43
for qr there is a fixed cost with ordering
true
44
s
safety stock level
45
both the mean and the variance of the random variable that represents the random demand are scaled by the lead time, which is equivalent to the sum of tau identically and independently distributed random variables
true
46
extra stock that is maintained to mitigate the risk of shortages dues to uncertainties in supply and demand
safety stock
47
for modeling purposes what is the safety stock
will be used to describe the on-hand inventory level when an order is delivered
48
how many units are drawn from the inventory throughout the lead time
this quantity is equal to the demand during lead time
49
what is the relationship between Ud and lambda Ud
the expected demand per period
50
observed demand = what
order quantity such that 0
51
what happens to f(q) when cost overage increases
f(q) decreases, bc it gets costlier to have too much so you want to stock less
52
what happens to f(q) when cost of underage decreases
f(q) decreases, because the rate of decrease in the numerator is going to become smaller faster than the rate of decrease in the denominator
