Dynamic Pricing and Replenishment Policies of Fresh Foods under Consumer's Choice

摘要


The study presents the dynamic pricing based on the consumer demand characteristics for fresh foods' retailers. Demand is classified by consumers' sensitivity to price and freshness of fresh products. Fresh product is classified by its length of shelf life. The model is based on the periodic inspection inventory model and considers consumers' choice behavior in mixed model of First in First Out (FIFO) and Last in First Out (LIFO). We formulate the demand function that is related to retail price and instantaneous inventory level. The retail price and the maximum instantaneous inventory at the beginning of unit period are decision variables. Next we analyze five different kinds of demand behaviors and explore different sensitivities to price and freshness in different behaviors when other parameters that influence demand are the same. Finally, we conclude that pricing should vary from different demand behaviors.
