| Research Abstract |
This study has built mathematical models for solving the following three kinds of problems associated with retail strategies:
● How can we distinguish fast moving products from slow moving products in relatively short term?
● What is the adequate frequency of inventory-taking?
● What is the optimal order quantity for special display goods?
● What is the adequate price for extending warranty period?
For the first problem in the above, this study proposed a mathematical model and verified its effectiveness based on the actual data collected from a convenience storer.
For the second problem, two kinds of mathematical models were developed and their verifications were carried out on the basis of the interview results to a supermarket manager.
For the third problem, we clarified factors that makes deviation of inventory record, and then proposed a mathematical model taking these factors into consideration. For the final problem, we regarded the extension problem of a warranty period as a game between a retailer and a customer and obtained an equilibrium for the additional fee.
