Abstract
⺠We study demand fulfillment processes for quality graded products. ⺠Demands for lower quality products can be fulfilled by higher quality inventory in this problem. ⺠We propose a dynamic programming model to maximize expected profit. ⺠We prove the existence of optimal policy structures. ⺠Profits can be significantly improved under the optimal order fulfillment polices.
