About One Approach to the Planning in Retail with the Stochastic Parameters

Abstract

Retail is one of the largest industries for financial investments in Russia. There are various mathematical descriptions for the development of retail projects. Earlier in [1] the researchers considered the resource region development model and a corresponding linear stochastic programming problem, where the budget constraints are assumed to vary in a random manner at specified interval; and the methods of its solving. In this paper, we propose new models for planning retail investment projects related to carrying out promo efficiency in the retail chain. As well as in [1], these models are based on linear stochastic programming problems, where the dimension of the problems increases essentially, and the stochastic parameters appear in market behaviour. To solve this problem, we put forward the method based on its reduction to the deterministic one. For the numerical check of the algorithms we use the data on transactions of the LLC NSK Holdi.
