【Abstract】In this talk we will discuss the target-oriented decision making in the areas of inventory management and supply chain management. Target attaining is a ubiquitous phenomenon in the business world. For example, managers are often given a revenue/cost target to reach, which can significantly affect their decisions. We investigate such decision making in the newsvendor setting, in a multiple-period framework, as well as in a supply chain. We adopt a satisficing measure to evaluate a newsvendor’s decision in reaching a profit target. We find that the newsvendor’s optimal ordering quantity increases with the target level and more interestingly, if his target is proportional to the profit margin, he would over-order low-margin products and under-order high-margin products. In a supply chain where the retailer is target oriented and the supplier is a profit maximizer, we find that in some cases, the supplier will set a wholesale price that is approaching to the retail price and reap all the supply chain profit. Furthermore, with a target-oriented retailer the supply chain can sometimes achieve the same efficiency level as that in a centralized system. On multi-period target-oriented decision making, we incorporate the financing decisions and demonstrate the optimal financing policies. We also discuss its applications in inventory management.
