Abstract

This article considers the deterministic singular optimal control problem of profit maximisation for inventory replenished at a variable rate and depleted by demand which is assumed to vary with price and stock availability. Optimal policies for the product order rate and price are derived using the maximum principle. Several initial inventory regions are identified as potential inventory states for feasible profit optimisation. Bounds on the maximum price for maximising net profit or minimising loss are obtained. Numerical simulations accompanied by phase diagrams are performed to support the theoretical findings.
