Abstract

This short book is the author’s PhD thesis, partly based on previously published work. It covers different aspects of inventory control of perishable items in retail—that is, newsvendor situations—using both simulations and real data sets from multiple stores and stock keeping units (SKUs) at a major European retailer.
