| Abstract: | This paper considers the problem of ordering and issuing policies arising in controlling finite-life-time fresh-meat-carcass inventories in supermarkets. A supermarket orders a product, which constitutes a set of sub-products of fixed proportion, from a vendor at the beginning of each time cycle. After it is received from the vendor, the product is stored in the cool-room, before being issued to the displayed shelves. The sub-products then satisfy random customer demand. |
