Abstract
Pre-sale policy is a frequently-used sales approach for deteriorating products, e.g, fruits, vegetables, seafood, etc. In this paper, we consider an EOQ inventory model under pre-sale policy for deteriorating products, in which the demand of pre-sale period depends on price and pre-sale horizon, and the demand of spot-sale period depends on the price and stock level. Optimal pricing decisions and economic order quantity are also provided. We compare pre-sale model with a benchmark inventory model in which all the products are sold in spot-sale period. Theoretical results are derived to show the existence and uniqueness of the optimal solution. Numerical experiments are carried out to to illustrate the theoretical results. And sensitivity analysis is conducted to identify conditions under which the pre-sale policy is better off than the spot-sale only policy.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
