구매 종속성을 고려한 부분 부재고 재고모형

Retail shops often experience purchase dependence in which some items are purchased together by customersdue to their unknown interior associations. This paper develops an inventory model considering partial backorderingunder purchase dependence and compares the performance of the inventory model that ignores purchase dependence. Computational analyses show that purchase dependence should be incorporated as an important factor of inventoryreplenishment policy because the impact of purchase dependence can be more significant as the lost portion of theunmet demand orders increases and the item set is more correlated in terms of order demand.
