Optimal pricing and ordering policies for perishable commodities

TLDR
A multi-period pricing model is proposed for the case where the seller can divide the sales period into several short periods and determine the optimal product price based on the demand rate, buyers' preferences, and length of theSales period.

Review of inventory systems with deterioration since 2001

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an up-to-date review of the advances made in the field of inventory control of perishable items (deteriorating inventory) and use the classification of Goyal and Giri based on shelf life characteristics and demand characteristics.

The effect of expiration dates and perceived risk on purchasing behavior in grocery store perishable categories

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine consumers' behavior with respect to expiration dates for grocery store perishable products and propose a better understanding of such behavior can both guide efforts to educate consumers about the risks associated with perishables that are approaching their expiration dates and help managers implement effective promotional strategies for these products throughout the course of their shelf lives.

Coordinated Pricing and Production/Procurement Decisions: A Review

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of analytical models on this topic, focusing on models in which external demand is price-sensitive, is provided, considering both constant and time-varying demand functions, with and without demand uncertainty.

Optimal inventory policy for a perishable item with demand function sensitive to price and time

TL;DR: In this article, a model for determining the optimal pricing, order quantity and replenishment period for perishable items with price-dependent and time-dependent demand is proposed, where the items have a fixed shelf-life and the demand rate decreases linearly in the selling price and polynomially over the time after replenishment until it vanishes either at the reservation price or at expiration time.

Optimal selling price and lotsize with time varying deterioration and partial backlogging

TL;DR: The author develops the criterion for the optimal solution for the replenishment schedule, and proves the optimal ordering policy is unique, and suggests to new functions regarding price-dependent demand and time varying deterioration rate.

Optimal dynamic pricing of inventories with stochastic demand over finite horizons

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the problem of dynamically pricing such inventories when demand is price sensitive and stochastic and the firm's objective is to maximize expected revenues, and obtain structural monotonicity results for the optimal intensity resp, price as a function of the stock level and the length of the horizon.
