    • An efficient heuristic for the multi-product satiating newsboy problem 

      Khanra, Avijit (Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, 2014)
      Preference of satiation of a target performance over maximization of expected performance in uncertain situations is well-documented in the economics literature. However, the newsboy problem with satiation (of a pro t ...

    • Essays on the Newsboy Problem 

      Khanra, Avijit (Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, 2015)
      The newsboy problem is about minimizing the penalty associated with demand-supply mismatch of an item with uncertain demand by suitably deciding the stocking quantity. Newsboy problem arises in a variety of situations ...

    • Heuristics for the multi-product satiating newsboy problem 

      Khanra, Avijit; Soman, Chetan (Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 2014)
      Due to the preference of satiation (of the profit target) over maximization (of expected profit) in uncertain situations, the newsboy problem with the satiation objective is an important practical problem. In the multi-product ...

    • Lower bound for cost deviation in the newsboy model 

      Khanra, Avijit; Bandyopadhyay, Tathagata (2013-11-26)
      Quality of decisions in inventory management problems depends on accuracy of param- eter estimates used for decision making. In many situations, error in decision making is unavoidable. In such cases, understanding ...

    • Multi-product newsboy problem with satiation objective 

      Khanra, Avijit (Indian Institute of Managment, Ahmedabad, 2014)
      Meeting the pro t target is often preferred over maximizing expected pro t in uncertain business environments. Research into the newsboy problem with satiation objective started quite early. However, the progress has been ...

    • Sensitivity analysis of the newsboy model 

      Khanra, Avijit; Soman, Chetan (2013-11-26)
      Sensitivity analysis is an integral part of inventory optimization models due to uncertainty associated with estimates of model parameters. Though the newsboy problem is one of the most researched inventory problems, ...
