Due to rapid advances in technology and design, firms periodically release new generations of electronic products such as mobile phones and computers. In order to increase product variability, firms may wish to develop a multiple-generation product line rather than replace the older versions with new ones. However, when multiple generations are available in the market, different generations compete with each other as well as other products in the market. Firms need to take joint decisions for the purpose of inventory management and dynamic pricing of multiple generations to tackle impact of uncertain demand and market competition. In this paper, we present a dynamic joint production-pricing decision model to obtain optimal strategies for a firm selling multiple generations of a product. We account for the internal competition among multiple generations by evaluating customer choices. In order to tackle a curse of dimensionality, we introduce a forward dynamic programming approach for approximately solving the joint production-pricing problem. We also propose a two-stage heuristic algorithm as an alternative solution approach. Different pricing rules determined from the abridged model and a price list derived by theoretical bounds are integrated to improve further computational performance of the solution approaches. We design computational experiments to illustrate effectiveness and efficiency of these approximate methods and show the benefit of joint decision-making process in multi-generation product line.

不确定性下多代产品的动态生产定价策略

由于技术和设计的快速进步,公司定期发布新一代电子产品,如手机和电脑。为了增加产品的可变性,公司可能希望开发多代产品线,而不是用新产品替换旧版本。然而,当市场上有多代产品时,不同代产品之间以及市场上的其他产品之间会相互竞争。企业需要以多代的库存管理和动态定价为目的,共同决策,以应对不确定的需求和市场竞争的影响。在本文中,我们提出了一个动态联合生产定价决策模型,以获得销售多代产品的公司的最佳策略。我们通过评估客户选择来考虑多代人之间的内部竞争。为了解决维度灾难,我们引入了一种前向动态规划方法来近似解决联合生产定价问题。我们还提出了一种两阶段启发式算法作为替代解决方案。从删节模型确定的不同定价规则和由理论界限得出的价格表被整合在一起,以进一步提高求解方法的计算性能。我们设计了计算实验来说明这些近似方法的有效性和效率,并展示了多代产品线中联合决策过程的好处。我们引入了一种前向动态规划方法来近似解决联合生产定价问题。我们还提出了一种两阶段启发式算法作为替代解决方案。从删节模型确定的不同定价规则和由理论界限得出的价格表被整合在一起,以进一步提高求解方法的计算性能。我们设计了计算实验来说明这些近似方法的有效性和效率,并展示了多代产品线中联合决策过程的好处。我们引入了一种前向动态规划方法来近似解决联合生产定价问题。我们还提出了一种两阶段启发式算法作为替代解决方案。从删节模型确定的不同定价规则和由理论界限得出的价格表被整合在一起,以进一步提高求解方法的计算性能。我们设计了计算实验来说明这些近似方法的有效性和效率,并展示了多代产品线中联合决策过程的好处。从删节模型确定的不同定价规则和由理论界限得出的价格表被整合在一起,以进一步提高求解方法的计算性能。我们设计了计算实验来说明这些近似方法的有效性和效率,并展示了多代产品线中联合决策过程的好处。从删节模型确定的不同定价规则和由理论界限得出的价格表被整合在一起,以进一步提高求解方法的计算性能。我们设计了计算实验来说明这些近似方法的有效性和效率,并展示了多代产品线中联合决策过程的好处。
