Supply Chain Replenishment Decision for Newsvendor Products with Multiple Periods and a Short Life Cycle

Traditionally, the newsvendor problem is a single-period model for a retailer and can be applied in the replenishment decision for a product with a short life cycle. However, many fashionable commodities are seasonal; not all of these products must be sold within a single period of a selling season,...
