碩士 === 國立屏東科技大學 === 工業管理系 === 92 === Three inventory models are constructed to determine optimal ordering strategy for specific retailers within supply chain systems setting discrete demand as inventory patterns in this work. By using goodness-of-fit approach to test historical demand data, the method of Maximum Likelihood Estimate is introduced to estimate unknown parameters and then forecast the future demands. Optimal decision variables that maximize the total expected profit are also found through the numerical analysis algorithm. In addition, 50 times of simulations are generated to compare the total expected profit with these three models to conduct suitable statistical experiments on the aspects of mean-variance dominance and stochastic dominance rules. Numerical examples are given to validate the results of the inventory variations in the proposed model.
