“…Secondly, a great number of models have been proposed to investigate the deterioration inventory. For example, Qin et al (2014) consider the pricing and lot-sizing problem when the quantity of fresh products is deteriorating simultaneously [3]. Bai and Kendall (2008) assume that the demand rate is dependent on the displayed inventory and the freshness of an item, but the deterioration of freshness is not connected with the deterioration characteristics of fresh produce [19].…”

“…Statistic results show that the quantity loss rate of fresh fruits and vegetables reaches up to 20% in China [2]. The cost of unsold products before their sell-by-date is estimated to be billions of dollars each year [3]. Consequently, how to sell fresh products quickly to decrease the storage cost and meet customer quality requirement is of vital importance in the fresh product supply chain and is a current managerial concern as well as an important research issue.…”

How to sell fresh products quickly to decrease the storage cost and to meet customer quality requirement is of vital importance in the food supply chain. Bundling fresh products is an efficient strategy to promote sales and reduce storage pressure of retailers. In this paper, we consider the bundle pricing decisions for homogeneous fresh products with quality deterioration. The value of fresh products with quality deterioration is approximated as an exponential function based on which customer's reservation prices are calculated. A nonlinear mixed integer programming model is used to formulate the bundle pricing problem for fresh products. By adding auxiliary decision variables, this model is converted into a mixed integer linear program. Numerical experiments and sensitive analysis are conducted to provide managerial insights for bundling fresh products with quality deterioration.

“…Nekvapil et al [10] introduced a Raman coefficient into a linear decreasing quality decay to assess the freshness of different citrus groups. Besides, some other quantitative measures for agri-products quality decay were also investigated, for example, the Tobit regression model in Chen et al [11], Weibull distribution in Qin et al [12], the weight analysis method in Kasso et al [13], and the Gompertz model and Arrhenius equation in Bruckner et al [14].…”

Integrated Harvest and Distribution Scheduling with Time Windows of Perishable Agri-Products in One-Belt and One-Road Context

Abstract:The unique characteristics of perishable agri-products are a short lifespan and rapid quality deterioration. This establishes the need to significantly reduce the time from harvest to distribution. These features require reducing the processing time from harvest to distribution to being as short as possible. In this study, we focus on an integrated perishable agri-products scheduling problem that combines harvest and distribution simultaneously, with the purpose of reducing processing time and quality decay. We propose this problem as a mixed integer nonlinear programming model (MINLP) to optimize the harvest time and the vehicle routing to consumers, and this MINIP is formulated as a vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). We introduce a big M method to transform the nonlinear model into a linear model, then apply CPLEX to solve the transformed model. Numerical experiments and sensitive analysis are conducted to verify the efficiency of the proposed model and to provide managerial insights.

“…Wu et al (2014) proposed an EOQ model for a seller by incorporating the facts: 1 deteriorating items not only deteriorate continuously but also have their maximum life time 2 credit period increases not only demand but also default risk. Qin et al (2014) established an inventory model for quality dependent demand.…”

This paper deals with an optimal ordering policy for non-deteriorating item with power demand under trade credits. The shortages are allowed and combination of backlogged and lost sales. Mathematical model is developed under two different situations, i.e., case 1: the permissible delay period is less than time to finish positive inventory and case 2 trade credit period is greater than or equal to time to finish positive inventory. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the algorithm and theoretical results. The sensitivity analysis is provided on the optimal solution. The second order approximations are used for exponential terms to find the complexity on the optimal solution.
